after 2 long weeks, i went and picked my car up yesterday from the shop after a run in with a 8 point buck. aside from the shiny crap they put on my new tires, it looked like a new car again, the paint work is awesome. but when i first talked to the body shop owner, i told him i wanted to pay extra to have the pass side headlight replaced at the same time as the broken driv side so they would both look new as it was a little pitted and i wanted them to match.

he agreed to change it, and repaint the drivers door as a tradeoff by using a takeoff hood instead of new. so as i was moving the car last night, just after dark, i got out to look and was horrified that the new one( driver side) was foggy and scratchy lookin, and the old one which looks way better other than the pitts was not changed. none the less, it looks like crap.

i called him this morning, i`m gonna take the car back to the shop this evening and pull it in the paint shop at closing time. he said it will be dark in there cause i want him to see it. he said he ordered both lights and ford sent 2 lefts. if that left is new from fords, i`m dissapointed in them. they should look brand new crystal clear i think. i`m not one to complain much, but i was willing to spend money to have the new headlights in the first place. now the bumper has to come back off. he seems very willing to make me happy, so i`ll see what happens tonight.
