Actually the fenders still don't match, if they were the originals they would have touched them up too, but the insurance company said no to painting them too. plus I have to get the back part for the side marker light that got torn out... :rolleyes:

From my experience and by having to replace a set of tires, for gods sake get the alignment done first before you get new tires. I went through a set of tires just after getting my Eibach springs installed and waiting a week for them to settle. Why didn't the body shop have it aligned after the accident?

because the allignment needing to get done was from me avoiding hitting an idiot on that freeze 3 weeks ago, it was either hit him or hit the curb, and I told the insurance company I'd rather pay for it myself then take a clam as then I'd not get a marking on file for having a claim.
it's why I had to replace the alloy / rim before I sent it in for the repairs.
all the repairs to the front end are from the bone head running off rather then do the right thing and exchange insurance info. So the police took care of that part of tracking him down for it, and he was charged, and admitted fault.
