I hope the colour matches better in the sun then it does in the artifical light, because that, IMHO, does not match.
I don't mean to harp on your shop, cuz if the car was wrecked they DEFINITELY did a good job. But if they are so good I hope they colour match the difference between fiberglass and metal. I noticed a minor difference in my car's body panels, but not as serious as that, look at the bumper/trunk pic.
Anyway, it does look good, I can only imagine your exitement right now. fing02.gif

silver seems to be the HARDEST color to color match... I never see any silver or red tiburons with good color matching.
MAKE SURE you get your engine STEAM CLEANED soon. My engine was spotless when I took it in the shop. After extensive body work and molding, and lots of sanding, it looked like yours. I didn't clean it for a while and now it's pretty much stained and discolored. Clean it before it gets bad.
hm... not sure if I agree with that. It should match pretty good, maybe not perfectly in all angles, but it should be very close. If they used the right primer, it should match pretty good. I don't find Hyundai Paint Codes to be 100% accurate...

looks great man... dont worry about everyone nit-picking at your car, thats just part of having something nice. i swear... every person that looks at my car will say something like "nice ride" or something like that and then point out every little ding or scratch. not to flame on anyone but it seems like this is a re-occuring thing... i understand some people are just saying this to inform the person that something could be possibly messed up but im sure that if you saw the car in person you would be able to pick apart these problems a lot better than a person looking at a picture on the net.
on a better note... i love the look of the car. i honestly wish my car was silver... i think its hot on the tib.
btw... get some black euro's off ebay... they would look good

yah, no worries, I understand it does look kinda like a diffrent tint, but there are couple factors in this picture, 1 the shops lights , 2 the flash went off on the camera, and 3 of course your going to get a cleaner / shinnyer picture right after its been painted.. ill post outside pics with no flash here in a couple of days... i get the car back tomorrow but we are suppose to get 3-5 inches of snow (*go figure).
