Got Back from The Body Shop
Got my Camaro back yesterday. At first, I was really happy with the job they did but after having it a day I am noticing a few things. When I hit the guard rail, I scratched the paint on my side mirror. After looking at it I noticed it looked like they used a grained brush to cover it up. The pattern of the paint does not match the rest of the mirror. The side molding is also a little off line. The thing that made me really sick was when I was driving home and opened the passenger side window a little and it went down hard. At first everything was fine, but when I tried to put it up there was a gap. The window will barely go down and is not sealing. When I had the accident the window was closed, so it was the first time it was put down and I come to find its all messed up. The side mirror is also pushed in about an inch (just discovered), which is probably causing the difficulty with the window. The new rear rim seamed fine, but I think it is not correctly balanced because it is hoping over ever bump or I could have damaged the suspension in the mile I drove home on the flat. I feel sick.....Also my car's interior smells like primer!
Here are picks of the accident again. And I will try to get better pics of the pushed in mirror:

Get some pics of the repair they should of made sure it was ok on the window going up and down. On the estimate they should of blended the fender and put at least a new skin on the door and that would explain the primer/paint smell in the car. They would have had to cut in the door/paint the inside of it.
