wow! congrats! what did they do? Bondo it? How's the quality? Fitment? Costs??
Anyway, nice repair work. The paint looks like it matches well. According to people I've talked with in the body shop industry, silver is just about the hardest paint color to match well.

Nice job. Looks good as new!
MikeyC is right. Silver, especially metallics, can be tough, but as long as you're paint is in good condition and not faded from age a good painter can match just about anything.
Looks like your job turned out really nicely.
I pick up my new (to me) '02 Sebring silver S2000 tomorrow morning. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!

I'm pretty pleased with the results, except that there is really nothing you can do to put the vehicle info tag back on the inside of the door jam.
I'd suggest calling Honda for more info, or you might even try the insurance adjuster. He might know if it's replaceable.
Usually the goal of any repair is to be transparent at the end. (Not be obvious that the car's been repaired.) If I were to notice that label was missing, that would give me a big heads up that car had been worked on, or at least painted.
I'd even go to the trouble of making something up to fake it. A little time spent on a word processor and print it on some vinyl. Comes time for a sale or trade-in and the dealer's gonna sting you on that. Something to think about.
