update..... soooo the body shop is almost done they have lined everything up..... and fixed the gap.....

now the bad news..... i noticed that there was a crack on my amuse bumper.... from when i was working on it... long story short one of those nights i was working on it i was butt tired and i accidently dropped it

and i guess it cracked there.... so i want the body shop to fix it.... before it spreads.... now here is the nut kicker... the shop is charging me 1,500 for installing the fenders and to fix the bumper and the headlight on the right because there is scuffs when i removed the bumper

i almost passed out.... i looked over the labor and materials..... i saw that the paint cost 280 for only two quarts

i went to the supplier for ppg.... and found out that yes solid red is a damn expensive color

then i checked the clear coat.... dupont chromaclear 75000 and found out it goes for about 90 bucks a quart with hardener so its 180 for two quarts if you add it im being charged 1,000 for labor.... but i sort of expected it because even they had a hard time filling the gap and lining it up perfectly..... sigh... looks like i wont wrap my car this year... and that this will wrap up my modding list for this year.... gotta wait till next year again... hopefully my TS cover comes in already.....
