Strange lighting in that shot. Almost looks like Lakeshore Slate.

Congrats on the quick fix.

Yea, it looks great IMO. They also detailed it very well. I noticed that they even cleaned the sport adjustment part of the seat. The part you can extend outwards. The match looks great I can't notice a difference. They repainted the lip as well. The only thing I noticed is that my Passenger side headlight is cleaner/newer than my driver's side and it is noticeable to an extent but I am not sure anyone else will notice.

Can you take more pictures of the repair? I would like to see the job. No photoshop please!

Maybe some of us can spot differences that you can bring back to shop? If you're happy then it doesn't matter.

Yea, I will take some "normal" pics tomorrow. The one I posted had to be slightly iPhone photoshopped because it was too dark to begin with.

Driving on ice/snow sucks. Sometimes you have to go way below the speed limit to stay on the road. Of course it's difficult to know when you will hit a random patch of glare ice though. Happy to hear no one was hurt Looks like they did a great job fixing the damage.

While everything looks good from the pictures, I would recheck the hood gaps between the hood and the fender. Make sure they're consistent throughout the hood, even between hood and bumper.

Yea I have looked it over closely and I don't see any gaps that are inconsistent. It was such a great job! I would definitely recommend that body shop.

Which Hankooks? Were they V4s?

I currently have the Ventus S1 Noble 2's. Pretty happy with their snow performance after a brutal winter here in the northeast.

Previously had Kumho Ecsta 4x's; I would avoid these if snow performance is a priority.
