Since the plastic was actually dented that can't be done. So, they will get it painted and call me next week sometime to install. Then, the great news....."it won't be a perfect match, but it will be VERY close." WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So....just a word of warning......if not a perfect match, I will no longer own IOM #57763 camaro......it will be theirs again and I will go elsewhere. This is bull#$#t!!! I ordered a brand new car and got a damaged car that may never completely match again?!?!?!?! I am just so frustrated. At this point, I am no longer excited about the car and now have a permafrown instead of a permagrin! Sorry for the rant, but it is either rant or cry!!!

this is so disapointing for us all to read...I promice I didn't really jinx ya to make things turn out like this.....in this day and age any car can be repaired and with the 3 stage paint system it should be a perfect match without question...if the car was 2 or 3 years old and not well maintained with polish I could see where the original paint might fade some and the new paint might be a different shade but not now...they are dropping the ball here and I expect to see that firery southern temper flare right back em...your dealer should be falling all over himself fixing this for you...if not conatact GM customere care
