Got my car back last night. Looks pretty good. I have to take it back for some
"tweaking" and to fix a few little things they forgot.
Happy to have my car back! Yay!

Yeah the car looks good. They forgot a few things here and there, and
my tail light has a hole in it or something cuz there's water in it (fishbowl).
The paint came out 98% perfect, and the body is just as good.
I hope i'll have it the way i want it by the BBQ

I drove it from Martin's home last night... and today I went to Arlington and back..
so maybe 50 miles or so.
I notice that the GREDDY exhaust is really noisy when the car is cold... it sounds like it's vibrating or almost rattling. I'll have u guys listen to it on Tuesday. See what u guys think.

OK, I finally had time to take it to Martin. He had his guy adjust a few things (trunk lid alignment, wheel cover thingy, gas door opens again,) and most of all.... Exhaust is fixed!
The damn exhaust was put on but never screwed where the midpipe and the exhaust meet. It was actually only being held by the rubber and hooks! The springs and nuts were
put on and now it sounds very nice! :D So... I'm happy for now.
Next on the list.... Tail light replaced, Rebuff the car, and sooner or later get my wing, appearance package, and my burnout lip.

Well my 8 was in accident this morning when a tire blew out in Fort Worth. My wife was driving but she is ok, Just a little scared. Having a blow out on 820 would make anyone nervous.

Wow, i know you feel like crap right now, but in a month or so you'll get your car back. Hopefully there's no frame or mechanical damage. I know how it feels so keep ur chin up and everything will work out

damage than mine maybe? The body looks like it will need a new quarter panel.
The bumper, rims, tires and tail light will be replaced. Not sure about your door and trunk lid from the pictures, but they will need to be aligned. What about the underside of your car? Any serious Damage? Check everything and make a list of everything that you can think of that may have gotten damaged. Don't let ur adjuster forget anything.
Again sorry about your car.
Keep us updated.

If you talk to Martin he'll say what "you want to hear" for him to work on your car. Remember that.
Martin is great at what he does... he just needs better and more help. if he had another Martin he could handle almost any job.
