Brought it to Caliber Collision and they did a great job except 2 days turned into 7 days due to the fact they could note match the Federation Orange color. Took them 4 try’s before getting it right. The bottom line is it looks awesome with a lifetime warranty! So don’t let the body shop tell you they can’t match it. Just takes a couple try’s to get it right.
 
Glad to hear they were able to get it right. The "premium" colors are harder to match for sure.

ps: where did you get those canards for the front vent?

Here on the stinger market. They come flat black and I painted them gloss black.

I'm convinced that bright orange is actually camouflage for some people. Here is what was left of a previous car of mine after being rear-ended while stopped on an off ramp.

So there is hope for some of humanity doing the right thing at least (leaving a note).

Yes there is still hope in this world. They had Geico insurance and we didn’t have to do a thing including the rental car.

No after photos? C'mon :D

Just picture in your mind the beautiful federation orange stinger front pumper looking nice and shiny off the show room floor. Lol Nah really no after pics cause it looks the same before the accident.
 
Not to be picky but is your bumper/left front fender alignment correct?
I'm sure that's just a light artifact.

Looks very purty. Could be a "before" or an "after" pic, either way, you're good now. :D

Glad to see your car got fixed. Would have loved the Orange but the only 1 available around me at the time had the price WAAAY jacked up.

Queation tho, how is that stuff yoy have added around the bottom as a lip holding up? I see this all the time while searching front lips, and it seems cheap(proce wise), thought bout it but ur the first ive seem with it on a stinger...

Have some pics further away to see the entire look of it?
