[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1858806, member: 21926"] A point of clarification; did you permit them to make the repair non-OEM and then assess? I did this the first time, and the body shop - again, these people look down on people who are just meticulous - called me and told me ‘hey, your hood is on, painted, etc. pretty sure what you’ll think, can you come down and take a look. I got there, he hands me the dial calipers. I already knew these guys took cars seriously, they had several show cars there for rest-o-mod, restoration, in various stages of completion. I took a few measurements, and he stopped me and said ’this is the non OEM hood, I don’t like the fit to be honest with you and if I don’t like it, you probably won’t either. This doesn’t meet my business’s standards and I’d like to get the OEM part and replace.’ Deal. Yeah, I had to wait, but decent body shop makes it happen. Their reputation depends on it. Would you be satisfied if your 10 y.o. F350 was .020 off front to back on the hood alignment? Probably. On your Raptor?? likely not. That’s a credible point. I think if you’re 1) male 2) under 60 years old, 3) single 4) have non-platinum level credit 5) live in an urban shíthole or close to one, 6) have some colorful traffic history 7) have a high value or expensive to repair vehicle or any combination of these, you can benefit from annual shopping for vehicle insurance.
