Paint work looks good... looks like they were able to match the Laguna Blue nicely. Seen many times where the aftermarket paint comes out a shade or two different.

Very curious how they do the extension on the front fascia w/o having the body work pattern over time. Working with plastics and SMC is much more difficult than metal/glass. After a few heat cycles the areas worked on can show.

Car looks like a diesel pick up truck with 4 tires in the rear.. you might want to lower the car.
