Default 05 SC430 almost out of the shop

Had a chance to drive past the body shop to see how the SC430 was coming along with it's make over.

The car was getting the bumper reassembled. Looks like a great color match for the rear bumper. I heard those they will be blending the sides for an even better look. But it will be great not lookign at the deep scratches on the rear, they said they would also pay close attention to aligning the bumper, I guess the little fender bender my dad had with the car screwed up the alignment of the connected bumpers...so that will be fixed. Dent master will repair the 4 dents, and I guess at a reduced charge since my friend knows them well.

I will post pictures of before and after for you all.

Any advice on making an appointment for the dreaded rattles I now must have tech's fix. Any advise one could give to me, should I ask one to come along for a ride, and show them the nagging problems?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

JK

except I plan on askign for that single rattle, which is audable to be silenced, maybe there is a fix for my creak specifically.

Never say never...

well for sure ask the tech to ride with you, usually that's the best way to fix the "problem"

yea, just taking the bumpier roads with a tech will be a good idea. There's basically one rattle in particular that if fixed would satisfy me. Hopefully theres a fix for it, be it lexus or just thought of...
