Got my baby back today. Like it never happened. Well, almost--I do have a couple of minor gripes that I'll need to take the car back for, but the repaint itself is amazing. As a bonus, there was a tiny door ding that is now gone.
I was wrong. Took a closer look today and parts of the door trim are not installed correctly. Some of the trim pieces don't stay put and/or aren't fitting correctly. There's the occasional dirt in the paint, etc. Scuffed some of the corners of the vinyl on interior door panels etc. Should have taken it to the dealer...
Taking it to the insurance company to let them have a look. Ugh.
Sorry, DerrickM. Seems like one problem was traded for another. Which place did the work? I am shocked they didn't take more pride in their work. Hope insurance helps get it all right.

If they had kept it clean the paint would have been amazing! You can't tell it was repainted--they matched and blended so perfectly. But the dirt in the paint and the fact they obviously struggled to get the doors apart and back together is heartbreaking. I don't want to name names since this is still an unresolved situation--but I'm curious to see what my insurance agent will say, since they recommended this outfit.
Talked to the insurance agency and the body shop today. Insurance company says to give them another chance to make it right. After that if I'm not satisfied they will reopen the claim and go from there.

Sounds like you have some reasonable options - good for you!
Who is your insurance carrier? They sound like quality.
Okay, I think this whole sad story is finally behind me. Took my car in to the body shop today to have some issues resolved and it looks like they took care of everything. Paint looks like it never happened, and the doors now appear to be put back together correctly. I did have to do some detailing, especially to the trunk. I guess it's true what they say--body shops are some of the dirtiest places on the planet. I had to get into all the little nooks and crannies to get paint dust out of there. Anyway, the car looks perfect and I'm glad the ordeal is over.
Dropped off "Creampuff" this morning to get repainted. Will have to drive the 2001 Acura for a couple weeks.
