a few...
looks good from that pic.
the rear: looks like its sittin' at the Sport 2 setting. That's how low mine is when I turn it off in Sport 2, I cant even put my finger straight in, has to be at an angle... looks sweet to me.

Thanks for the comments... I am very please (after 3 times of painting!) Haha. Anyway, the car is lowered using the Washer method for the front and the drill thing for the rear. Previous owner did it and it is sitting in Comfor Mode actually, and no, I cannot fit my finger in between.

Also, you canNOT tell it was repaired. I had brand new parts (door shell, weather stripping, plastic pieces, glass, the track the glass ran on), so that a person wouldn't be able to tell. Looks great.

Other than the driver's door, what body pieces were painted to blend in the paint?

Do you know if they used Nanopaint? If so was it hard to get? Looks great by the way.

Looking good! It's hard to tell how well the color is matched, but the gaps all around the door look very even and sharp. Looks like quality work.

If you don't want it to appear on Carfax, don't submit the DMV form you will get in the mail shortly. Everyone says it's required and you will burn in hell for not submitting it, but it's not enforced. Carfax only gets their info from the DMV, so think twice before sending it in.
