Well, I got the car back and it looks great. I couldn't find any overspray. The quality looked solid. The holes in the front bumper for mounting a license plate were always ugly. Now it's baby's butt smooth. They were exactly on estimate.

It took almost two weeks longer than expected, but I'm glad it's done, and done well.

Really glad it's been done properly.

I finally talked to the insurance adjuster today. Apparently dim value doesn't really kick in until 25% of the value is hit, which I am no where near with this damage. However, he did offer me $500 to go away and I'm going to take it. I probably won't see the check until next week, as I have to sign a release and mail it back to them first. But this is almost done.

So, Holly has a bent rim on her Lexus courtesy of a pothole, now the Fiat has a cut in the sidewall due to the same. Not the same pothole though.

Michigan roads suck ass.

Tires are cheap for the Fiat luckily but it still sucks. There's only 5k on the tires

I think I'm going to let the bent rim on Holly's car slide for now, it's not losing air

Grrrrr two different places are telling me they can't do the tires on the Fiat since they're low profile. One of them did tires on the S4 twice, and those were really low profile.



Trying another one Monday. TireRack recommended them.
