If I could give you some advice, give the shop a call fairly often to see if you can reach anyone important or at least get your messages relayed to them. Also see if they stick to deadlines.

My bodyshop gave me back my car in an incomplete state, almost a year late and with some wiring problems that showed up later. It was obvious the car was rushed but I'm not gonna lie, overlooking some small issues, the paint looked spectacular. When I brought the car back in for paint correction, I got back an even more noticable paint problems and again the car was rushed. I have no doube that when I bring the car back again, I'll get it back late but hopefully it will be done gain. Learn from my mistakes man. Seriously.

I got my car painted by Billy and it came out pretty good for a good price, especially considering I had lots of surprise body work and bondo from before I bought the car underneath all the paint. I think with a clean body without all the bondo my car had on it the paint job would be even better, like how he did Roans car (SpeedNYC). I would recommend him but he does take alittle while because he is busy.

BTW I'm the guy with the blue FD from the Supras vs 7s meet last year.

Check out

http://dmkustoms.com/?page_id=403

Dream Maker Kustoms

They are located in Endicott New York. I personal don't get along the best with these guys. Mainly because they could not look at an engine let alone put on an intake. They do nice work though. I know they have done some celebrity work as well.
