hey everyone... just wanted to thank you for all the comments and words of wisdom. i just got the car back on friday and i have been driving it non-stop. this is such a nice car =) i ended up getting the deductible and cost of rental car for a week from the dog owners who were all too happy to pay the 600 dollars. the total cost of repairs was just shy of $5k and it looks decent. the front end needs an alignment really badly (steering wheel's about 5 deg to the left when going straight) but the insurance coverage didn't allow for it. i guess i'll just get that done somewhere nearby.

Here are some pictures...

 

Very nice work - glad you're back in your TL - be careful out there!

 

Looking good. Get that alignment ASAP.

 

very nice, how come the tow hook cover looks strangely different in color.

 

right after that i would go to my trunk whiff out my golf clubs and finish off the dog and make sure the owner gets nightmares. heh heh just messing, i would really be pissed. good thing no one is hurt, the car is a material thing not a life.

glad to see the car repaired

 

Glad to hear everything worked out for you.

 

where did you get this done in/around syracuse?

 

the tow cap does seem a little off but i thought it was that the light was hitting it funny... i took a closer look today and the paint was just a little off, couldn't be sure b/c there was a lot of sunlight... i guess they didn't blend the cap with the rest of hte paint.

i had this all done at crest acura in syracuse. it's on genesee st. why?
