The car is back.... eh. I like the Shadowline look BUT they F'ed it up and i have to go back to get some of it repainted again...They FORGOT to Smoke my Tails... twelve days in their shop and they forgot..... I see Orange Peel on the passenger side fender.... I felt they didn't include enough metallic flake to properly match the rest of the car resulting in i think too solid of an appearance while the tone is correct.. They neglected to replace my Tow hitch cover.Weather they painted that new part or not remains to be discovered.. I was in a Huge rush to get to work after they "finished" today and they guy who was washing and drying the car went to lunch WITH MY KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to wait another half hour for someone to go get it..
now onto the real hassle,The radio is NFA.That's Not ****ing Available... It started working when i got the car back but when i pressed one of the buttons to change to another CD instead of doing that it changed it to the Weather Band and then none of the other buttons would work...I asked them at the shop if they disconnected my negative cable before they removed the headlights to paint. They did not.... I disconnected the negative battery cable to try and re-set the computer but now it is not taking the Code.... I just got home and again disconnected the battery cable and will try the Code again in an hour... Two other perhaps coincidental issues arose. The Mileage is not reading out anymore. If that's just a bulb maybe their ****ing with my headlights with the battery connected blew the bulb AND The Rear driver's side parking Light In the bumper on the side is AWOL... The warning message appeared after i hit a serious divot in a dirt road so i went to check the bulb. I pulled out the reflector/lens and the bulb,socket and entire harness were nowhere to be found. the lens receptacle for the bulb socket was cracked and i couldn't see or feel the wires... How can I find them? Reach in with a wire hanger and fish around ? It must have just popped out when i hit the bump and fallen into the bumper cavity..Wish me luck.
