Door was chipped because of the break in and the bumper was cracked and then splitted after speed4sale track day.

Ahh, gotcha!

It looks like it is brighter, or has some pearl to it. Is it factory spec?

I was using my phone camera..

By looking at the door, they matched it pretty well.. But I guess I'll have to wait and see it after they mount it on the car..

But to be honest, color was slightly off from the factory...

I just got the car back..

Overall they did a great job!! I'm a picky person and obviously I saw few little mistakes.. but overall I'm very happy with the way it turned out. The car looks brand new inside and out and very pleased with the outcome.

Pics are taken by my phone camera so its not the best.

Paint was near perfect match!! the bumpers were painted and matched very well. Door was slightly off but better than how it was before..
