Update: Bumper painted with new grill, yeah!!! Assembled, blended and whatever else should have been finished today. The paint shield is scheduled within the next day or so; I'm told the car should be ready for pickup by Mon-Tues.

Another update!
It's been just shy of one month since the last charging light repair and I'm happy to report that the lights has not come on at all. I've driven her on the highway, small errand trips and everything in-between with no issues.
