Here are the repaired areas that were discussed earlier in the thread...
The front left corner:
The drivers side door gap:
Passenger side door gap:
The hood gap:
And the complete car. I haven't had a chance to get pics with full sun yet, seems every time I'm home, the car's clean and I don't have something to take apart (like the broken rocker arm a that took a few weeks to get sorted out) it's cloudy or raining. As soon as I get the chance, I'll post some pics of the car in the sun so you can see how the paint really looks!!

The color is BASF code MR 368.15. I'm not sure what clear they shot on it, I know they couldn't get the one they wanted. I can find out for you if you'd like though.

One area I have no clue how to fix is the door gaps at the top of the fenders. The gaps open up about halfway up from the belt line and get worse at the top of the door. Not horrific, but not right. In looking at them, if I were to close the gap, the fender is out farther than the door in that area and closing the gap would make it much more obvious. Plus, if I changed that corner of the fender, the line with the hood would be AFU. So, I think the gaps are going to have to stay like they area since I'm not going to break and reglue the fender at the firewall...
