You have no idea. I am going to drive the piss out of her when I drive her!

Color match looks pretty good, then again theres no metamerism due to sunight etc and solid colors do quite well. On the other hand (may be the pic) your hood-fender gap looks slightly bigger on the right (facing the car) than the left.

Overall it looks good though.

Yeah I know I think the frame is tweaked just a tad but ill put some MM full length sub frame connectors and I should be fine!

ajm · November 20th, 2009, 08:25 PM

What is just a tad? Any specific measurements with a car-o-liner or chief velocity in particularly? If "the frame"/unbody is "tweaked" enough to cause your fender-hood gap to be off im willing to get its a bit beyond "tweaked" and beyond +/- 3mm which is industry standards for correct driving/driveability issues therefor if it is youll have way more problems than just a simple gap problem such as dog tracking (car looks like its going down the road sideways), odd wearing tires, the list goes on.

Each to their own though, but if it was mine and it was given back to me saying "oh the gap is off because the frame is so called tweaked" id be PISSED, and sub frame connectors wont do shit for you to fix your "tweaked" unibody other than hold it in that "tweaked" position. Tell the place that did the work..given they use a higher end frame machine/measuring system not the old school UMS bullshit you want a print out of measurements.

all look into it I am 1300 miles away so ill call and tell them that. I did bring that up to the adjuster though and he said that if the car would align right they would look into it? but you are right and so ill see what I can't do. Thanx man. So with the hood issue that you brought up do you think that it is uni body bendage?

huggy bear · November 20th, 2009, 08:46 PM

I have new front tires also and they have at least 2K on them and I havn't seen any odd wear. ??????

And youve driven it atleast 2k miles since being wrecked...thats highly unlikely. The gap problem can be a few things things. hood, fender or both arent aligned right, to the front end being pushed over, and the list goes on, but seeing the pics before the wreck there is nothing they would have had to adjust hood or fender wise (form the LOOKS of it) to throw that off. soooo...

Like I said not to be negative but I would definitely tell them wtf do you mean by tweaked I want measurements on a high end machine.

If the gaps were off before you wrecked it and you bought the car used/arent the original owner, then id just let it be. You wouldnt really have a leg to stand on as far as showing proof that the car hasnt been wrecked before this one, and just from the looks im willing to bet it has been, and technically its insurance fraud if the car is all beat up before a wreck, you wreck it, and try to say previous damage was caused from the current wreck.

I know I know! your right! The tires got 2K before the wreck sooo.... Im prolly not going to worry about it, I have owned the car for 2 years and its bn fine so the fender or hood could be miss aligned. Thanx for the info though.

HMUSN · November 20th, 2009, 10:06 PM

I'm not sure I would have payed to have that done. Look like a good job though for sure.

mcqueen · November 21st, 2009, 02:20 AM

Looks good

Aside from that ugly ass license plate. My bumper isn't even drilled to hold a license plate and I like how it looks without it so I just have it sitting in the windshield. Can't read it because the windshield wipers block it but the police haven't bothered me about it.
