Default my car is finally back from the shop! but..... sad face!

i got rearended a while back and.....
after 14k and 1.5 months in the shop, my car is finally back in my possession. overall Nissan did a good job.

quick list of what was done.
-replaced front, back bumper
-replaced rear quater panels
-replaced roof
-replaced exhaust
-replaced rocker panels
-fixed rear floor plan
-repainted all but the front quater panels and hood

but there are a few corrections that need to be made, lsted below
-Missing spare tire bolt.
-Due to missing spare tire bolt, the spare rim is scratched and will need replacing
-Misalighed back window molding
-window molding on body of car was inproperly installed
-window seal has overspray
-too much seam sealer on both doors(bottom of door jam where the panels meet) and around gas cap
-also a lot of seam sealer in the trunk area.
-inside door handle has spots from chemical used during repairs
-window was imporperly installed on passanger side and makes unusual noise
-y-pipe bent and creates backpressure
-radio is fuzzy. I believe this might have something to do with the reinstallation of the back glass where the attennna is located?
-drivers side rocker panel is dented
-gap under passanger side taillight
-drivers side door panel vibrates with stereo

Im not sure of the y pipe actually causes back pressure but I will have to get with the adjuster since he did not want to replace it in the beginning. that being said I have a Y pipe and HFC waiting to be installed. im wondering if i can get him to pay for nissan to install it?

The body shop informed me that all of this could be fixed in a few days.

Im a bit weary about the respray... this will be the second time the car will be repainted and i dont think they will do the hood and front fenders. I wonder if there will be a noticable difference in the color?
