Well you guys may have seen that my car got hit a while back. For certain reasons it didn't get in the shop til last tuesday. For whatever reason it won't be done until tomorrow afternoon. The only damage it had was the driver side door. It did need to be replaced. I don't know how long it should have taken to do that but I didn't figure a whole week.
Anyway I got some extras outta the deal. Mirrors painted to match the car as well as a small portion of the bumper repainted from when someone backed into me with a trailer hitch while I was parked in a parking lot. :BangHead:
Maybe thats why it took a week.
So I'm pretty pumped to get it back tomorrow. Pictures on the way tomorrow night!

Update:
Got her back a day late actually. I was very unhappy when I got the news that it wasn't ready, but when I picked it up holy perfect paint matching. I have no idea how they did it so well but the paint is matched flawlessly. I didn't think they could do such a good job on my aftermarket paint.
Also, 19fobra95 and I wired up my tach today. Very simple to do. I could put together a quick, and very simple write up for doing an aftermarket tach with pictures if anyone is interested.
Pictures of everything on the way when I get a chance.

They probably blended a little onto the fender and rear 1/4. I'm anxious to see pics! Is your car Dark Satin Green, but it has been repainted with aftermarket paint?

Ive seen it in person and yes they did blend a little onto the fender and rear1/4 but it still looks good. his car has been repainted with some aftermarket paint. it looks alot like the Dark Satin Green but it has some more silver flake to it.

It's an illusion. They Faded/blended the paint. Just wait 2 years when the clear coats fade at different rates. Hopefully, they used a decent brand.

Dark satin green?

are you referring to a satin finish?

I just got mine back a couple of weeks ago from what sounds like the same delima. I also had teh mirrors shot and was super happy with how it came out.
