be careful what you wish for
The grill is only held in by 1 screw & the antenna cover by 1 nut and those kids didn't even remove it. The car is diamond pearl white not opal white. If it was me I would have got people that didn't cut corners and a little more qualified for a three stage paint job on a LEXUS. Hope everything turns out well for you.

Look at them putting that greasy box on the center console
I don't see the trunk lining or the door panels pulled. When open the car you will see the old white paint.
TuanLegend I'm not trying to be mean or cold hearted and I remember what it was like in High School but business should be kept that and not be personal.
