What to get from dealer?
So there were 2 tiny nicks in the paint on my trunk, one from when they installed the spoiler, the other from I don't know what. I took it in to the dealer to have them fix, they said no prob we'll take it to our body shop and have them feather-touch it. Well, once I picked it up I see I could've done a better job than them. Ends up "feather-touching" to them means puttin a gob of the touch up paint in the nick. Even though they explained that the process was more complicated than that.
Doesn't look like they wet-sanded it smooth at all after they put the touch up paint on, and no clear coat over it. I can definitely still see & feel the nicks, they're just blue now...
I told my salesman how unhappy & disappointed I was with the quality of the touchup work. (They had offered to repaint entire trunk but I wasn't willing to do that for just these 2 minute nicks.) To my surprise, he then offered me something in return for the inconvenience. Tint was the first offer, but I'm hesitant to go with that before I do some research on which shop and tint is used. He then offered all-weather floormats and sunroof visor, neither of which I'm interested in. Told him I'd think about it.
So, in about the same price range as tint ($250-300 from dealer), what should I ask for? I jokingly said Comptech Springs, and he was hesitant to do that of course saying it was too pricey. Who knows maybe he'll come back and say ok to it
Anyway, I'm thinking Comptech Sways, since they'd be cheaper on install. What ya think?
