^Order wrong... First the undertray, then the front... I knew the undertray was shot right after the accident, so I knew right then I would be getting one before the adjuster even looked at the car... the bumper was a surprise though as I hadn't noticed the damage on it.

Honestly, I'm surprised they replaced the bumper, the damage to it was very minor, so much so that I put it up in the marketplace.

My body shop guy was floored at how liberal the adjuster was with everything.



The trunk is going to have to wait a while, but I am getting quite a few other 'little things' done with the car while there's paint in the gun

I just have the regular 03/04 sides painted. They're a little bigger than the 05/06 ones, so I'll be ok for a while. I might pick up the nismo ones eventually though.

I'm kinda tapped out right now, but I have a bunch of work coming up, so that's good

^ cool. Im in IT also. Took a HTML class in college and thought that was pretty cool.

As for Garage doors, my gurl backed into hers a few wks back. The guy wanted $175 to fix it, we told him that we would cancel the order and we would pay him $75 under the table and he took it, lol....

^ this is crazy, as soon as i read your post via email, my painter called that he's wet sanding rite now and it should be ready at 5:30.

Just got back from Sears to buy the lil star shape socket for the hatch.

Is the trunk removal pretty strait fwd, it just remove the 4 star shape bolts and transfer everything to the new trunk?
