Sorry about the photo quality, but both photos were taken with my phone.
It took 4 months to complete, but they did an amazing job. For those of you who do not know the story.... 6 weeks after I got my car, an 18 yr old kid ran a red light and destroyed the front end. I tried and TRIED to get them to total it but since the car was so new that was impossible. The total bill for parts and labor was about $41K !!!
I thought some of you may be interested in seeing the photos. Washed and waxed the car a couple of days ago. I used this stuff: http://www.meguiars.com/?liquid-car-waxes/...ration-Tech-Wax It worked great and easy to use. It took me 1.5 hours to wash and wax.

The "selling price" (I leased) was ~$53K.
