The only issues I found were that the trunk cover was installed wrong, the trunk floor was not seated correctly, and the trim near the upper part of the window they took out had a broken plastic peg. All of which was an easy fix except for the plastic peg. Its no big deal and nothing to get a fuss over. I need to get some of those pegs anyway and their cheap. The paint matched perfectly as far as I can tell. It does have a different texture but you can only see that if your up close and look hard.

Over all I'm happy with it. If I ever find the person or persons that threw the egg I will make sure I get $489.85 of justice out of them.

Glad that the you're happy with the repair job. $489.50 of justice might get you an hour with a good lawyer... Not sure if it's worth it. ;-)

I never really understood the need to vandalize, but then again, only the vandal really has their own "justification" for what they're doing.

That whole saga is amazing. I once had a clown hit the back window of my (traded in) Honda Civic with a golf club in the middle of the night, caving in the window. The police came by, took a report, shrugged their shoulders, and that was it.

I suppose the good thing for me, compared to you, is that the glass is easier to fix than the paint.

the police haven't been much help in either of our 2007 car misfortunes. (prius keyed, camry hit while parked and totalled.)

i got about the same response: sorry, shame you'll have to pay [your hard earned and extremely limited budget] money to take care of someone else's mistake/intentional pigheadedness.

grr.
