Ok, so after two weeks, the body shop fixed this damage (grill, headlight, bumper, hood) from my expensive 5 mph bender...


Other than aesthetics, paint match and the quality of bringing the new grill "back to black", what else should I be checking? (especially correctable tell tale signs there was an accident)

Take a close look at the repaired surfaces to make sure they blocked it properly when prepping. If incorrect, you will see waviness across the painted surface, like it wasn't straightened properly. This basically means the repair under the paint and clearcoat is not 100% smooth.

They should have taken photos to show the insurance company what was broken and what they fixed. Ask them for the photos and check the repairs against them.
