Well, I got to see it for the first time in three weeks, after dropping it off at the body shop from hitting a guard rail. I don't know if you guys remember the pictures I posted of the accident .. but here's a few as reminders of the kind of damage I inflicted.

.. And here's shots of it after being repaired. It looks amazing, showroom new. I don't get to pick it up for another couple days, though. My idiotic insurance company sent the check to the wrong address, so they have to cancel it and issue a new one. But whatever -- my MSP will be back on the road soon!

.. And a few more. The one shot of the strip over the driver's door is just to show how the dents I had there are gone, too -- obviously, as the entire rear quarter panel was replaced. But it's just amazing. The shop did a fantastic job. I'll take more pics when I actually have the car back in my possession.

Awsome. Good to see it back on the road so soon. 3 weeks doesn't seem to bad at all. Is that about how long they said it would be?

They'd originally said two weeks .. I dropped it off on September 16th, so they took longer than expected. But it was well worth the wait. :D
 
your color matches very well - flows with the body ...

after my car had been in a wreck and repaired, i can now tell (every time i look at it) exactly what was replaced and/or repainted. maybe it's my yellow paint, or maybe it's just such a nice paint (stage 3) that makes it so difficult to match ...

by the by - looks very nice, and props to the body shop.

word..whats this shop and where's it at?
It's a place called Black Walnut Body Works, Ltd.

http://www.blackwalnutbodyworks.com/ .. I wish they had a better website to show off their work, but that's what they have.

I worked with Scott Dash, very nice guy and very straight-forward about everything. The main shop is located just outside of Penn State's main campus at State College, PA. About a twenty minute drive away from me. Thank God such a good place was so close!
