Car is back from the body shop!

Well... I went and picked it up. They did a very good job. I paid to have some dings removed. I had 8 little dings on my hood when 'someone' accidently laid the GT35R Turbo on it and it was rolling around making depressions. A good piece of advice - don't lay turbo's on the hood! Anyways... that along with a door-ding on the driver-side rear quarter-panel are now gone!!! Car is as good as new.

I hope they didn't take it for a spin after seeing whats under the hood.

Good to hear the car is back though and good as new.

Why would anyone want to lay a turbo on the hood when it should go under the hood?

Congrats on the repaint... The way dings and scratches keep appearing on my car I'll need a repaint in about a year. It's amazing, no matter how careful you are where you park or how you drive, someone or thing is going to get your car eventually.

I feel I am insanely lucky so far. No door dings yet, panels still look flawless. I am extremely anal about parking tho.

Man... when I got this ding I waited for 45mins for the dumb-f**k to come out... but nobody came. So, I left a note, but obviously it did not go anywhere. I had the license-plate, but that didn't help too much!

Great news, but how are you feeling? No stiff neck or anything?
