Default Refreshed my paint after rough winter

For those of us that live in snow belt, we know how hard this past winter has been. As my car is DD it saw some rough road conditions, as well as tractor trailer driver that couldn't judge turn. Let me tell you clear bra works, it protected 90% of bumper from what could have been a lot worse damage. Plus few little imperfection decided to have bumper repainted new clear bra installed. The shop doing work is Gabriel Sport, I had work done there before and have sent several other CL members there for work. What top notch shop and Frank and Eric are best.

Thanks Daedalus, I've always said cars are meant to be driven, and once I had enough imperfection I would just repaint what ever needed repairing. I'm not going to worry about car depreciating because I have miles or minor imperfection. Know matter what the car is depreciating in value whether it's seating in garage In pristine condition are being DD, all be it garage queen will have slightly higher value. If you trade car in difference between two maybe few thousand some where around 2500 to 5000 I've found and when you factor in enjoyment of driving car you can't put price on that so I'll take bit of hit for pleasure of driving my F daily. Anyone that knows my car it's DD but I keep it spotless year around .
