I thought they had too.. If the bumper was repainted, someone did and outstanding job taping it off then. I really couldnt find any evidence of repainting or body panel removal at all. Paint isn't perfect. It really seems like a 13 year old cars paint ie: chips and such but, it damn sure has spent alot of time out of the sun. Its very very bright and not faded at all. I think there is one door ding on the whole car.
