Thank you!! When I went there last week, they took care of everything.

They cleaned off the area I thought was over spray. They said it was something else. I can't remember what they called it. I agree about the quarter panel. I was worried about that area. I'm pleased with the work.

Thanks buddy! How's the ride?

I drive a bit at night, so this should help with glare and of course when the dog days of summer hit.

Yea, of course that's one of the things I would like to do. What percent is the tint?

After 2 months my odometer is still under 700mi but mileage is improving to an average to 31.5mpg now. I still find it exciting everytime I get into it and drive! Haven't enjoyed driving a car so much since I owned my CRX.

32% all the way around. Legal limit here.

Only 700mi is great! I already have 2600mi on the clock. I'll have around 36k in two years, including vacation drives and my long commute.

looks very nice, is that the same orange metallic as previous years? it looks like darker in the pics.
1600 is pretty minor damage, glad to hear things went well and you're back on the road.
Try running some shell V power gasoline, your highway mileage will improve a lot.
Lots of low grade fuels run 10% ethanol and it burns a lot quicker then pure gasoline.
My best was just over 400 miles on a tank and still had room to go with shell V power gas.

Thanks!

Different color from previous years. Today tint guy said it looked kind of like a copper color. It was overcast then. Looks more like a lighter burnt orange when suns out.

I'll give the V-power a try on my next fill up!

What is it with orange cars? Someone threw a cinder block through my window this year. Last year someone broke into it to steal some stuff. The year before that someone keyed it and threw eggs on it. Not to mention people almost side swiping me constantly. It sucks, seems like all the wrong people are attracted to my bright orange car. Would have bought black if I could do over.

Have an ex-girlfriend or ex out there with a grudge?
