The bitch is back!
 
So, had a nice little old lady cream the back of the FRS a couple of mondays ago. After this little paint ordeal, I've decided to never own another pearl white color again. Needless to say, I had an AMAZING body shop who has bent over backward for my pickyness.

Got her back yesterday, put the wing back on last night, and the Toms came in today. Little teaser until I can actually get time to get some shots done.

before.

And then the accident happened :cry:

Got her back yesterday. Color is light, but the pearl is PERFECT!

Well…finished her off today, wing is back on, new lights, and she's back. Bummed about the bumper still as it will never be the same, but glad she's back in the garage. She's been a blast to drive the last couple days.

Glad you got her back and the paint match turned out well. I've been without my girl for over a week now as I'm having a body shop repair minor paint damage that was caused during service - found out they were backed up due to the holiday weekend and now it looks like I won't have her back through the weekend :(. I think once I get her back it's going to feel like the first day I drove her off the lot all over again.

Nice choice going with the red Tom's - definitely the best looking tails on a Whiteout imo :thumbsup:

Glad you were able to find a body shop willing to actually make you happy and get the paint to your liking!! It's a shame your beautiful lights got busted :cry:. When I was looking to paint mine red yours were one of the first I came across and absolutely fell in love with and made my choice real easy to paint them red!:thumbup: But hey at least you got a set of Toms out of it! It's hard to go wrong with those!

AGREED! LOVE the Toms. Wife was awesome! Insurance paid for one of them, so I basically got them for half price. It was a no brainer. I still have one of the lights, lol! If anyone needs it, PM me. Just pay for shipping or pick it up. It is a bitter sweet sort of deal. Car will be sold now, but at least I can hang on to it for awhile. (long story, but the "off" bumper REALLY bugs me even though I am the only one who see's it.)

Dang! That is a no brainer! I want to take it so bad but I think it would look weird on mine since my red is darker then yours and definitely not as "candy apple red" as yours. Sad to hear you'll be selling it! Will you be selling the Toms once you sell the car?

I'll be swapping the toms out for some stock "reded" out lights from a good friend. It's still a bit off (probably a year or so) but yeah, little lady will be going :(

Thought you'll be keeping it for a long time, why you selling? Changes in finance again?

Still awhile off. Finances are GREAT! I'm just picky. You're still stuck with me for a year. I don't mind loosing a little, but I am even right now. I need a good down payment on the next car. Probably going outback for the wife

Why did I think this thread was about a mother in law?
