And a lovely smell it isQuote, originally posted by HawaiiPontiacLover »Show of hands...who thinks Herb's paint job is better than factory? LOLOur Frosty has a wee bit o' lovely see-through-spot. I'll have to agree it looks better, but when I look at the overall car it's obvious that the color has faded in the last 2 years of parking out doors.I got my car back on Friday. I'm kinda have mixed feelings about it. Things look a bit off here and there. It's nice that they removed the roof rack before painting, but the plastic gasket between the rack and body have obvious signs of prying.The front bumper cover slightly shows the body filler too. Still waiting on the front emblem and rear inlays. Rear decals are still slightly off.I will post pictures later. I'm in the middle of moving so my 'puter isn't really set up.

Yay! At least you got the car back HErb. THe Spoilers look great. Why don't you just debadge the rear end? At least now I know what to look for when cruising around town. Are you moving out of Calgary or just to a different end?

At least now I know what to look for when cruising around town. Are you moving out of Calgary or just to a different end?I actually like the badges. Besides, I don't want to stray too far from the stock look, at least on the outside. The spoilers and the Magnaflow are pushing it a bit though. I'm moving to the Country Hills area from Mayland Heights. I don't have much on my laptop, but it'll do in a pinch. I'll have all my stuff moved out by Thursday. Probably will take about a week to find all my stuff to set up my desktop. I hate moving, but at least now I'll have a garage for my Vibe now.

It was pretty obvious, so the truck driver's insurance is paying for it.The total for repairs came out to over $7400.00. The estimate was $5800.00.Because it wasn't my fault, the deductible was waived.

Well I dropped off the car back to the body shop. After 2 months with no word on the front emblem and rear inlays I dropped by to give them a piece of my mind.Other things to be corrected, the plastic gasket between the roof and roof rack was all chipped up when they removed it for painting, the positioning of the rear bumper, adjusting the rear hatch so I don't have to slam it as hard to close it.I was a bit upset that all the dust from the body shop got all over the engine bay which I did clean up quite a bit and told them to make sure it's at least as clean when I get it back.I'm told I should get it back by next week, but we'll see

Yep. We could try telepathic red eyeball rays. Make him send us a check!
