You don't care that you paid for them to mess up twice?

 

Like I said before...its hardly noticable. Its not like its black and white difference or anything. And besides that.....i didnt pay for it the first time either....well just the 500 deductible. My insurance took care of it.

 

wait...if insurance paid for it, why did u have them paint it at that shop? it would of been cheaper for you going to them privately (assuming they're cheap since your first bumper chipped and peeled off as u said). insurance should be taking care of this for you. you pay them for a reason and if my car got into a accident i would like my car to come back as how it was. then again...if u're satisfied with what you got....cool

 

Kind of a long story on why I went through my insurance. When I first bought my car, the original owner had an accident that I didnt know about when I bought the car used. I noticed the front bumper looked kind of crappy when I first bought it. Well when I took the car over to the paint shop to have the front bumper repainted they told me the bumper had a crack in it and that I would have to replace it. The original owner had someone bondo the bumper.

Well, when they took the front Bumper off they found more damage. The right headlight housing was cracked, core support was cracked, had to get a new rebar, and etc. The total came out to be $3000 plus. So I went to my insurance and filed a claim that somebody in a parking lot backed up into my front bumper and ran. I only ended up paying 500 out of pocket because of the deductible.

So basically everything that was F-ed up before is all fixed now. The original owner was also a female. So dont let women drive your car. I also had to replace the tranny as well when I got my Z. Not a suprise. I was lucky that was still under warrenty.

Anyways I hope this clears up any confusions.

 

nah no confusion. i just hate it when insurance try to BS their customers. state farm tried to pull a fast one on me before a long time ago. they said they had a "good friend" that worked at a body shop and said they were good and what not and when we got the car back it was totally put together like crap. then u know...had to file a law suit and what not and that took forever but long story short....waste of time. just dont want the same thing happening to you thats all.

 

doesn't look gold to me

 

How the *** are y'all gettin it gold! I think you should take some pics in the daytime, because under the lights it does look off a little.

 

I can see it too. The shop didn't use PPG brand paint did they? that's the only paint that will match 100% flawless to OEM paint color

 

You do realize that you just admitted to committing insurance fraud on the net. You REALLY need to have the mods delete this post.

 

thanks....that will be noted.

 

Nope they didnt use PPG. Someday the whole car will be repainted again. Whenever I get the chance to get a Veilside V1 kit for my car. but for right now I prefer speed over looks.

 

Damn...i guess when i look at it again it isnt....really looked gold to me the first time around. Still kinda does. Lol. Oh well.
