One small suggestion: save the OEM chevy logo center caps if they'll fit. I mean nothing negative here but the aftermarket caps had me thinking since when did Motel 6 make rims? /jk.

Looks great in the paint booth. I think you'll find it all done perfectly. That is really some shop. All the best to you!

Looks great! Good to read about a positive experience with a service provider for a change.

Mr. Stacy · 07-30-2016, 03:07 PM

Thanks guys. I got lucky, but it helps to do your research before heading to the shop. These guys checked out. My car already looks different because I put the Big Worm trunk lid blackout, '69 RS logo and big Worm Hood Spears with RS lettering on last night. But here is how she looked right out of the shop:

Looks like a great repair job. Nice car! Glad you got it back and hope the butt head that hit you is of the roads.

If you ask me, I would say the difference is finding a shop with integrity, that takes pride in their work. You find one like that, it's like finding gold.

You don't have to fret if they are going to f something up, or if they are cutting corners etc., They treat each vehicle like it was their own. For some, it's not ALL about money, and those are the ones that are worth double!

But yes, very hard to find these days....
