Not exactly a sight I'd want to see driving around LA.

The tan plastic sheathing around the inside window frame looks to be in good, uncrumpled shape however.

I knew about it when the trailer came out. I could tell from the headrests and B-pillar. It sucks that it was hit.

The picture isn't showing up for me, but I have seen the promo still (I assume it is the one with the axe?)

What caught my eye is how mismatched the trim is from the rear door to the back of the car - seems to be off by over an inch.

It appears that car has had some respray work done (not sure if it'll matter now after what happened to it in the film). Just look at the driver's side door, all those covers and screws are painted over. The chrome windsheild trim is gone too.

Oh, and look at the classic failure of the interior piece mirror cover.
