    So my 2007 black Prius was in a passenger side Collision accident back in 2010. Recently the paint on the repaired door started to crack like the bed of a dry lake. After lots of discussion with the insurance company over the quality that the work was done after already multiple repairs at the body shop. I was able to take it to the body shop and get a lot of other things painted for my troubles. Most of the plastic pieces to include the spoiler and the door knobs had faded in the Vegas Sun over the past 7 years. Boy does having those freshly painted make the car looking new. I will include some before and afters soon. I know it's not much of a post but I just wanted to show it off.

    This is the new painted spoiler. I will post a image of the old one once I can find it. For reference its clear coat had failed in the worst looking way.
