We had our car for just about 2 weeks. The weekend before halloween, we were headed up to my folks to show off At 65 mph, I ran across....into.... a deer with an obvious depth perception issue! Anyway, the facia, hood, windshield and driver door were scrapped bigtime. After getting it apart in the shop, the only other real damage was the front support that the radiator is mounted to had to be replaced, air box and plastic piece that covers the windshield wiper motors. Also, whole interior was replaced due to gross amount of glass contamination. Being that the car is brand new, we had real reservations about the part availability. Well, most of the car came in within a couple of days. We didnt order the hood and decided on the MPD hood (good thing it appears) This is the best aftermarket hood that I have seen. Youll love Eric and his wife. Tell them Bob Gronas sent you. Anyway, most came in right away, but we waited over 6 weeks for a windshield and driver glass. The door kept coming in quick, but it took 6 damaged ones before I got pissed enough to get GM, dealer and Holden on the phone. The doors were coming in a huge 3/8 cardboard box with no packing. Everyone beat to hell and back. They promised one to be sent with packing. We asked for two. They showed up with a piece of 1" foam on bottom and one rolled up piece on the end. PITIFUL!! One door was good, the other crushed. Long long story still long, we got the car back 12/31/04, 9 weeks. Just got the last two interior trim pieces this week. One was supposedly on backorder till AUGUST. Got GM back on the phone and low and behold, its here today. Good luck guys.
