Default New paint

A couple of weeks ago I hit a little dog on one of the main streets going between my town and another. He popped out out of the center divider and I had no chance to avoid him. I felt bad and I went back to check on him, but he had no collar and he was already gone. It did enough damage to my bumper, cover to knock out the little grills that cover the oil coolers and the covers that go over the

eye. Anyway. I just got it back from the body shop and this car has never looked so good since I have owned it and probably since the first owner had it. Here is a picture of what it looks like now. kind of dark, but that's the best I could get. I'm gonna try my absolute best to keep from scraping the bottom of that thing again. I would rather not have that license plate in the front cause it would look a lot better but here in California they look for that all the time to give you a ticket.

Looking clean. White is one of the best colours with that model. I thought those newer lower bumpers were only on the 08’s. I know they are on the 08 xj but they’re not on the 07’s.

Always admired the look of a white STR. Not a common color like my old silver 2005 STR.
