So about 10 months ago I hit on my front right tire. I messed up the fender and the bumper, everything else was intact (excluding steering rods and suspension pcs). I took it to the original Subaru dealership where I bought the car, and they told me they would work on it. This is my first accident ever; and to my ignorant self sought that no other body shop could do a better job than the original dealer. ooo boy was I wrong.

over the past couple months I've been noticing my new fender and bumper & they are both slightly darker than the rest of the car. I asked a buddy of mine to see his input, and he told me "that's as good as it gets, it will never be the same". I find that painful and hard to believe.

Now I will ask some of you guys what your input on the screen shots. Can the paint job be done better if I take it to a better body shop? or this as good as it gets? Im don't mind paying out of pocket to get it to look how it was before, I just want to know if its possible.

All comments are appreciated, thanks.
