The car is home. Door gaps on the driver side are poor. The aftermarket skin was apparently designed by the blind. The rest of the car is absolutely spectacular. As soon as I walked toward the car to drive it home it started raining. The wipers actually work. I’ve used them now twice in nearly 20 years.

This should have been addressed before they painted the car. I would take the chain saw off the shelf and move it away from that freshly painted GTO.

And the hedge trimmer up above. Frankly, take that entire open shelf down and replace it with a closed cabinet. Then put a nice thick cover on the car just in case something does bump into it. Maybe a movers blanket on top of the cover in high risk areas (once paint is cured).

I agree. WAAAAY too many potential 'bombs' in that garage waiting to come crashing down on that car, IMO. Car looks stunning!
