total ends up being 1175, but the guy is telling me that he cant wet-sand and buff it, and there are a few runs in it and a lot of dirt. also i opened the hatch and found six inches or so of water from it sitting outside without the hatch!!! so my rear carpet, car cover, a set of jumper cables, and an amp install kit are pretty much toast. Ive only paid him 900 so far, and i dont plan on paying more than that unless he corrects the paint issues and replaces the stuff damaged due to rain.. so we will see
