they are the best you will be very happy with the work ... I know I was when I had a car painted by them ....
The issue is most shops will paint the bumper flat, as in off the car, flat. So that labor escalates quickly......so sorry but glad it's ok!
The costs of modern paint is off the charts also! Hit a bollard in my Toyota Tacoma (its only been there for the ten years I've been here!) Imitation left fender = $37.50 Paint/Install = $340.00 But I did just drive right thru the Body Shop! Took less than an hour! Our Ferraris are little more involved.
George, sorry this happened, but I have to say you have an admirable attitude. Hopefully your wheels come out as you expect. My experience has been when they are refinished they do not have the same shine as the originals. If this is the case, at least all 4 will match.
Donald- Yup, that is what I would say if I manufactured summer tires for CYA. In real life, they work fine with reduced traction.
The car is still at Karosserie but we're getting close. It goes to Algar on Monday for wheel alignment. While there it will have its annual fluid change and inspection. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Wow George, I had forgotten about you. That was a fairly long process. Looks like everything should be A-OK, but the wheels did lose that shine.
I finally got the car back tonight, it's a little dusty but the work all seems really great. Pictures will follow.
So at long last, here are some pictures of my car after a nice run and a bath. You can see that this 599 has a full leather dash, which I love, instead of the carbon fiber.

I took my car out on this beautiful day for a 2 hour spirited drive. It reminded why I own this car in the first place!
I took the car out today, 35 degrees, dry roads with no salt. Not fast and not far, just warmed her up and put her away.
Sounds good. Raining like crazy here so no driving if not needed (I DD my car often). It is better than the 360 in the rain. That car hydroplaned very badly; this car not so much. Stay safe and have fun.
