Default Just got the car back [Pics inside]

Well I just got the car back from the body shop [Took a lot of motivation to go and get it cause i was sick all day and left work early] but none the less I went and got her.

I got the hood on etc. I got the hood made from VFN in addison, IL [approx 15 mins from my work in elk grove]. It took them 6 weeks to make it. I then took the hood over to Wheels of Chicago [where i have taken both my cobra's and GT(on western by devon)]. Anyway, they were going to blend in everything [basically repaint the front end etc]. They also said they were going to take care of the rear bumper and everything. Well to make a long story short, it took them a week to do it [Due to the hood had a crack on the underside and did not align properly [not their fault]. After they fixed the hood and repainted the front end, they told me they would do the rear end for no cost and I basically walked out of there with a almost (they touched up some scuffs on the doors) whole paint job for 750.00. My hats off to you Mario!

Here are some teaser pics of the car. [I'll get some better one's during the week]

The hood looks great! You got a steal on the paint deal. So who's fault was the crack in the hood? VFN or the shipper?

I picked up the hood locally from VFN. Not flaming them for the crack, but it should not have been like that, then again, it was my fault for not 100% noticeing it.
