Not sure if this is too late but make sure they blend the paint in. There's a high likelihood that the newly painted parts won't match the OEM paint so get them to blend the neighboring panels in.

Be picky and make sure it it fixed the way you want BEFORE signing a release and picking it up! It is always easier to get them to do it right when you still have the rental and have not signed a release. Good Luck!

So, was the extra time worth all the "stress" you experienced?

Guys just another update. They will finally release the car to me tomorrow, which is Friday. I hope they fixed it right and definitely will test drive it before I even sign anything. I will take pictures as soon as I get it! Finally the long wait is over! haha

Was gonna ask you how it was going... That's awesome. I can tell ya getting it back after a month (or more) away was nearly as nice as when I picked it up the first time at the dealership...

@Pretje

To tell you the truth I don't know what to expect as I have never crashed a car before prior to this one obviously. I can imagine, like you said, its like getting a new car again from the dealer! I will tell you more about it tomorrow when I get it!
