re-read that random, they already fixed it.
and Doug they needed to weld in a new rad support I do not have the means to weld. and in reality i found all the parts I would need but i would have only pocketed about 500-1k after i got all the ---- together. then I would have had to find the tools to do it with. i dont think the Harbor frieght flux is up to the task either. it was just easier and personaly I could careless if you think im a little less cool for it
In the end I paid a small detucable and got a new car 4 weeks later. got the hook up on some fresh paint on the rockers and wiper arms. also got a sweet grill out of the deal and a spare bumper.
the color mismatch looks bad cause they didnt buff the rest of the car and it needs it bad. once the *** is shined up it will match better but I think a trained eye will still be able to see a difference. Im cool with that, its 10 years old lol. going to talk to them about detailing it today

Na you could have found a shop to weld in the radiator support, picked up some new front end parts from the junkyard, install yourself, and then have a body shop paint it. Trust me I did the same thing.
You need to take it to a good body shop and have them put it on a frame machine BTW. When it was all said and done I ended up with a bent frame that the adjuster couldn't have just seen. Ended up forking over another $480 for that. Luckily I had pocked a nice amount of change anyways so no out of pocket from me.
