Labor at $50/hour is not so bad. the place i went to out here in the Bay Area charged $80/hour to repaint a keying.

I hope they fix the car well and hopefully you won't notice too much differences.

lol I remember someone mentioning that debadging makes the car looks like it had an accident and the owner was saving $ on the badges

Cat, your car looked hot with emblems, they match your sexy rims

Great thing about black is that it may be the easiest to match ,,,,,, just had both front and back bumper covers peeled off and painted ,,,,, can't see a difference from cover to panel ,,,, yours will look just as good.

Its kind of hard to read your parts list but you might want to crawl under the back end and make sure the exhaust is not bent .... look for misalignment when you pick it up.... also get her up to 70mph right away after pickup and feel for shake etc. Its real good your leasing ,,,,,, hand it back in later and get your IS-F .

Its tough to look at those pics, ,,,, still has a nice shine though even in those ,,,,, just so that you know, waxing your car every night before bed is not normal!!!!
