I think Potmilkz had his entire car reprinted due to a paint issue.

Cheers,

compensated? probably not.. but what you can do is ask for them to throw in extended warranty for you.. that is what they did for me... and now my warranty expires in 2017.. and my car is a 2010

yea, you can probably ask for that.. i would personally go for the warranty over the kit as it cost more

Yeah, that was me...but it was only because my local dealer is top notch. They didn't have to do shit. I didn't even buy the car from them. It was one of those "well it never hurts to ask" moments and my wish was granted.

You'll probably have better luck going the route that potmilkz went. Good luck!

Been there. Underhood of mine was dirty as fuck too. Didn't even bother to reset the radio codes.

Not to sound like an old fuck but...It's hard to find good help now-a-days. Seems like everyone is just in a hurry to get there job done and go have a beer. They could care less about your car or your situation. Aaand especially the white trash fuck-ups that do body work for a living. I'd rather pay more for a job that was returned back to spec and cleaned with a Q-tip like the good-ol-days.

I just got my car yesterday from the body shop and the entire car was clean, inside & out.

BUT, I had to take it back, the passenger side front quarter panel was mis-aligned. The gap between the front passenger door & the quarter panel was wider than the gap between front driver door & the quarter panel. Also, the gap between passenger headlight and the hood was noticeably wider than the gap between the driver headlight and the hood. Not to mention, the rear passenger wheel well was missing 3 bolts that attached the lining to the body.

I want to ask what kind of QC process they have.
