I was wondering on the Blk/Blk Typhoons is the cladding supposed to be gloss semi or flat? Kind of hard to tell in the pics I've seen. It looks more semi than gloss on mine right now.

I just wanted a definate answer so that when I get my Typhoon back I can have verification that it was done correct. Ins adjuster still not playing nice.

I printed out the service bulletin a long time ago and recently found it with my Syty titles in the safe . I did look on the internet for a minute to avoid typing out the entire document , but gave up looking and typed up the important steps . HTH

Re: 92 Typhoon Cladding color semi or gloss
Only because its more than $75-100 would i agree with that . Look at it from the standpoint of it being information unknown by a professional insurance adjuster to help a rare specialty vehicle retain as much of it's prior untarnished value as possible. Five to ten years from now an improper paint repair would hurt said value of this Typhoon by more than $100-200. I realize this specific Typhoon may or may not be in the condition to warrant that calculation , but i can guarantee that Syty's as a whole will come down to these trivial details in the future when considering the low numbers of "Nice" trucks left .
In the end there will be "Collector" trucks , and then what we all have , "Beaters." :rotf: j/k .

Re: 92 Typhoon Cladding color semi or gloss
That is why I was asking. The paint on mine is original with a clean car fax also. I am trying to get some info put together to give him for diminished value. Can't wait to see what the grille looks like knowing they are getting an aftermarket grille. I did however tell the body shop that any thing that came off to save it for me to pick up when I picked up the Ty.

I was chuckling about the readjustment of his fees.
Started @ $200, then dropped.

Your bodyshop should be able to get the dealership to price match the aftermarket grill price
