Contacting my body shop for receipt from accident. Believe it was around $6,000 using all OEM parts (Fender, Front Bumper, Headlights, etc...)

Also the front bumper, hood, and rear bumper were repainted 2 weeks ago to the tune of $3,000. Zero rock chips anywhere. Also a couple minor dings were pulled out. Will get that receipt as well.

All info and pictures were placed into PDFs and can be downloaded here: http://sdrv.ms/14VLxuJ

Summary:

This car has been repainted the factory color (Forest Green) and they did a “very good job” (as my body shop told me). Was done by 3rd owner (I am the 5th) and the person I bought it from had no record.
Car is an unbelievable driver, with the full engine rebuild and all the suspension components replaced, it rides better than new. Leaks zero oil and also burns zero oil. I have never had to top it off in between the 3 oil changes I have done.
Stereo was redone by previous owner and features Alpine headunit, Focal speakers, JL audio subwoofers (which I upgraded from 8” to 10”), and an Audison Amplifier. I am a big home audio buff and this setup was well put together. It sounds crisp and clear with detailed bass. I rarely listen to it on weekend drives as I am too enthralled by the exhaust note.

This kills me to even think about but I was in a minor front end accident with the car at 15 mph in the rain. It was the first day I had the car registered and I took it out for a cruise. It happened on a main downtown street. A guy cut in front of me so I slammed the brakes, they locked up, and I slid slowly into his rear bumper. It had just stopped down pouring and I later found out that they just re-topped this pavement and the oil was coming up from the first downpour. The front left fender was replaced (OEM), headlight, and front bumper. I must have been going 5 mph or less when I hit him but the muffler tip on his truck punctured the headlight and bent part of the fender (my body shop said they could have bondo’d the fender but I choose to let insurance cover the cost of a $1600 OEM fender, and $1500 OEM front bumper). This is when I added the RS Front splitters, RS Rear wing, Turbo S Fog lights, deleted the front bumperettes and painted the rear ones. The carfax shows the police report number indicating it was in an accident. Other than that the carfax is clean.

Pictures were taken at around 6:30 so the color is darker than it would be in direct sunlight (PLANNING ON TAKE SOME MORE PICTURES TO SHOW THE RECENTLY PAINTED ITEMS):

WOW Lots of mods and updates. That's a great price for everything you've done.

Did the repaint retain the option sticker under the hood? If so what is the factory paint code on there?
