Default Update on es300 rebuild *pics*

So as many of you know I'm rebuilding my es after this accident https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...hlight=bad+day and I just wanted to update everyone on her progress. So this beautiful new hood came in for $281 shipped after the issue I had with this hood https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...hlight=rebuild

Hey 'Lacey' is coming along real nice! Doesn't seem like 10 months since both our cars got damaged in the front end. Did you ever get reimbursed for the first hood that was all messed up?

Yea I got the $75 I paid for the hood and grille back but the $200 in shipping is gone but I did get a fender, cd changer, headlight, corner light, fog lights and floor mats shipped as well so I basically lost $100

After seeing the Starfire White in person on my local bro's IS, there's no question that's the direction I'm going when the repaint finally happens. You're gonna have a stand-out ES on here when you get all of this done, and I couldn't be happier for you. You're kind of a stand-out ES bro in here after all.

I'm also VERY curious as to what I can do with Starfire White and Zaino. I'm thinking deep, deep, deep, mirror finish that's so reflective planes will have trouble flying over the car.

wow, looks like Lacey is coming along really well. I'm so glad you didn't lose too much on that crappy hood they sent you before. So once she's all back to new you'll have to update your signature.
