Default My GS is back from the bodyshop

I cleaned her up after a week fr torture in the bodyshop. She cleans up well.

It is in dire need of a lowering. I plan on picking up a Tein set later this summer to take care of that.

I had the bumpers repainted since the dealership decided to have some minor bumps repainted by a local outfit that airbrushes and there was no metallic in the paint. I also had the drivers door repaired, there was a large dent from a shoppin car incident. I had the work done at a family friends shop and he does some amazing work.

Thanks for the compliments. I can't wait to lower it down an inch or so.

Man what is the deal w/ dealerships trying to get by with using sorry paint jobs? They did the same thing to me with my trunk lid and there were all kinds of dirt and junk under the clearcoat. They finally took it to a decent bodyshop after I pointed out how bad it looked.

believe me, Henry, I would have, but I got to drive an '03 ES (which sucked) and an '04 RX (which was pretty cool) for a combined 2 weeks. I missed my baby, but it was fun to "drive it like it's theirs"...lol
