We do have a coupla' members here from the NH/NE area, but I don't know of anyone here w/an SP23.
Was it modded, or in some other way distinguishable from others?

'Sounds to me like your BS didn't complete the job... that it may have needed a new bumper support as well. (Bent?)
Well, as you seem to already know, the SP23 was a one year option only (and only one color too,) so at least you know it was an '05.

thanks for the info! i never knew they only had the sp23's for a year.. and only in one color!

DO NOT EVER GO TO .. uhh i will fill in the body shop's name here later.. i cant remember right now.. the owner's name is mike, he just relocated to beech st, Manchester, NH.

the guy did SUCH A ****TY job. Paint looks ****ty (and the paint is SO soft even after a year, that it just literally peels off if it gets scratched), the bumper doesnt align correctly. It was a really minor accident. The styrofoam shock absorber was still intact. The real impact was on the side of the door and it sent my car into a snowbank, pushing the bumper in. It turns out that two of the bumper clips are broken. They also reused the door moldings but they charged me for new ones. I need to my lazy *** off the chair and keep complaining to the guy (as I did 3-4 times now and got some other issues fixed) until i can get everything settled... hmm just dont have time for that these days

Hopefully you'll never need to visit a body shop again; however, if the need arises you might want to consider the D. J. Rogers shop in Windham. They just did a fabulous job on my wife's minivan (she backed out of the garage and forgot to shut the car door, that caused $3,000 worth of ouch to the van), and the fact that they're a very professional operation is just a bonus.
