Thanks for the sentiments. Got the car back just now. Nice there was someone in the shop who had a cherry 350Z so he really got things to match. Even called out how my rear quarter panels are a bit off of the trunk's shade from the factory.
I did take notice, though, that my liner on this driver's side is cut short. Have no idea when this happened. Nonetheless a clean cut.
Now I'm just all paranoid with the clutch until I can get that work done. Feels softer at times, but then I push it with my right foot while stopped and it seems to be the case that my left leg got used to it....I hope.
