Default Fresh Paint

Well as some of you know, I bought a Wald lip back in October. In November one of my calipers seized and being that my car is still under warranty I took it to the dealer. I've never had a problem with taking my IS to the dealer with the kit on so this time didn't seem like it would be any different.

To make a long story short, the dealer ripped my lip off into three pieces, cracked, and scrapped the paint all around the bottom of the bumper. Its now been a month and I just got the new lip and repaired/repainted bumper back from the Lexus dealer.







I just dont see how the managed to rip it off. It's not like the car is low or anything.



Wald side shirts are on the way. Can't wait til next season.

The guys in the Lexus paint shop had me nervous cause they kept asking me that before they painted. I kept thinking it would come out looking like a Electron Blue on a Civic.
