10 Feb 2024:
Purchased the car from a dealer in Tulsa, OK. Many thanks to another forum member who found the car and went and took a look at it for me! 98k mile car, in overall good condition. Here it is directly after picking it up. I honestly do not have better pics from before the process.









The car is a 2008 Machine Grey coupe, purchased in Tulsa, OK, February of 2024. The body was straight, and the interior very good. It was driven back to Florida with no drama whatsoever. It was almost immediately sent to the body shop. Why? Well, the story begins with a minor problem that became major. The paint on the front right fender was sun baked. Not horrible, but enough that it bothered me. What's more, the rub strips on the doors? Yeah, those aren't stock. Pulling them off revealed all kinds of door dings and paint damage. There was no simple way to repair these things and have the car look good. Off to paint it goes!
