What else they do to it? A complete paint job to match the new body work?
3 months is nothing. You cant rush perfection.
Heres the short version of the long story when I had my GN painted. I decided to do a tapeless paint job so I strip everything off of the car that I didn't want painted black. The body shop calls in a glass shop to remove the windsheild and back glass. The body shop inadvertently removed the rear taillamp wiring harness so they wouldn't get over spray on it. What they didn't know was that they also disconnected the fuel pump. These guys were good so I wasn't on the phone every 5 minutes checking up on them. About 8 weeks go by and they call me up to come down and pick the car up. While I'm on the phone the owner mentions that they cant get the car to start. I show up and hop in and sure enough it will crank but not start. I cant hear the fuel pump so I go to the back and see the wire harness laying in the trunk. I plug the 2 ends together and the car starts. All the guys are standing around scratching their heads. One guy says we spent all this time pushing your car from one end to the the other because we thought you'd be mad if we called and said your car wouldn't start.
