FAIL for Ditchhanger
Well...as some of you at the meet on Friday were updated on the status of my 05 STi repaint saga. My 3pm deadline came and went and nothing changed...except for the deadline. 12pm tomorrow in Aiea somewhere. At this point, I really dont give a **** about it anymore. If i get it back, yay. If not, I won't probably have it back anytime soon. I told you all from the meet that I would let you know...and that's the update. I'll let you guys know tomorrow...

Sounds like he found someone that would paint his car either under the table, privately, or something like that. Then the dude has taken far too long to return the car.

Hey Joey as a fellow 05 CGM owner myself I feel your pain. I know I gave you a lot of crap at the meet this past friday (in general) but I have a .40 cal you may want to borrow to retrieve your car back.

by chance did you atleast remember to write down the mileage of your car? maybe even took one step more to change your base map to a valet type/low or no boost?

Thanks for all the supportive words.
The car was taken to someone who had painted my second STi and he did good work for the price. Apprently, his schedule has become quite dificult for him to juggle a full-time job and painting. I've gotten excuses after excuses for why its been delayed and even missed the tune because of "delays".
As of 12:14pm today, he said the car had a few more items to be bolted on and he would deliver the vehicle to my house. We'll see if it gets here tonight. If it does, yay. If not, the report will be made.
Jess...thanks for the use of your .40 cal...I have one as well...and three .45 cal friends to call on if need be
I'll once again keep you posted

Sorry for no updates last night. I was a little tired after the car arrived at my house after 10:30pm and I decided to look it over.
Mileage is good and the car is in good shape. Its hard to see the overall quality of the job, but my first impression is that it is done well so far. Thanks again for all the support!
