    Finally got her back!!!

    For those of you who haven't seen my previous threat about the accident (with photos): Hit to my pride and my wallet

    Well today, I finally got her back! It's been nearly 5 weeks since the accident, and couldn't wait for this day to come.
    I was supposed to get it back last Friday, but when they test drove it, they had ABS and Airbag lights that came up. 4 sensors and a week later, here I am.









    So while it was in the shop:

    I had Mopar Sways installed, guy cut me a great deal on the labor since he had the car apart.

    I had the spoiler installed. It's aftermarket, but it's good quality. Body shop manager said it was one of the better aftermaket spoilers he's put on.

    He let me buy the parts and have them shipped direct to him. Also left off the front license plate mount.

    The body shop did a great job. If I got really picky and got out the micrometer, there might be a slight variance in the gaps between the front drivers door and passanger, but its almost impercievalbe to the eye and I'm pretty anal in looking it over. There are two small paint issues he will take care of one day in the coming weeks for me. Otherwise I'm really happy.

    For the 3 miles I've driven so far it seems to handle fine, but haven't been able to determine how much difference the sways will make. The rear sway for the Mopar set is HUGE. You could see the difference from accorss the room between stock and upgrade. (other than the color).

    Now I'm having surgery tomorrow, so I can't even enjoy having it back for a few days. I'm just glad it's in the driveway again!

    Surgery went wll. Sore as #$% but I'll be moving around again in a few days.

    Hernia repair, turned out to be a double, which appears to mean it makes you hurt twice as bad the day after.

    Dont' ask me why I didnt think about having the stickers removed while they were painting. They deffinitely need to go.
