I stopped by Body Exotic to check on the car and to chat with the body guy (as when I dropped it off, a working with him was there). I took a couple quick shots.
FYI - The rear bumper shown is a donor one I got from a junk yard (my original has some very VERY slight crease marks from the previous owner and well, this was a better option then seeing if they could be heated and removed).
IF anyone would like the old bumper, I can't ship it (it's just too darn big), but it's in good shape. Contact me. I'd ask a very small fee ($20-$30) but you have to pick it up. It's in great shape and most people don't see what I was unhappy with in it....

I hope it turns out well for you! I sometimes think about getting my hood and front bumper re-painted. I have little rock chips on the front of the hood, and bumper. Drives me nuts, because I like perfection on my car. But I'm not sure about doing it, if I do, it will just happen again. I can't avoid getting the little chips on HWY.

Looking good so far! I agree with MAMONTE sometimes I think I should take mine in and have a few things fixed on it, mainly the rock chips on the hood. Everytime I think about it though I remeber every single time I take it on a cruise on the HWY a semi goes by or something like that and I hear another rock hitting it

The fender dings had to get fixed, they were big and caused by my neighbor's lawnmower (my neighbor was 100% cool about it and his homeowner's insurance is taking care of it).
As for the bumpers, the stone chips on them weren't too bad, but the BIG reason I wanted these done was a result of the previous owner. The front bumper was repainted and REALLY beginning to look like crap (spder webbing and cracking in the paint). The rear, I could have skated because 90% of people could not see the faults.
But thanks guys, I am really anxious to get her back (driving the Grand Am since I dropped her off is not doing it). I really need something to switch this Grand Am out with. Body rot is just taking a big toll.....

Around his license plates looked like someone used blue painter's tape to cover up the chips 
It didn't match at all
