Tuner friendly body shop in DFW area?
Does anyone know a good, tuner friendly body shop that could work on my rx7? Some jackass decided to hit and run me last week, and left some good damdage to the front passenger side.... new fender, bumper, and headlight assembly needed....

Why not do it yourself?? I am in the same bind, sort of, in that I need body work done to my RX-7 as well but can't find any places around here to do it either. So I am just going to do the body work on my own, save the labor cost, and go have it repainted.

Ah. Well I understand that as well. But sorry I cant help you find a shop in the area that is somewhat tuner friendly.
Although, quick question. If its just body work, why not take it to a body shop. Why does it necessarily need to be tuner friendly??

Did it do any structural damage? From the look of the pics, I think you'll be safe without having someone want to total it out. I mean honestly thats not near as bad as I was assuming. You should be alright taking it to a normal body shop, it just may take them longer to get parts.
But as far as tuner friendly shops, like I said, I dont know of any really in the DFW area. I know of one in the Austin area, but thats of no help here. But I do know of high performance shops in Arlington that cater to the needs of race-type cars. They may be able to help out here. They usually work on American muscle, but I have seen several Hondas and such roll out of there before.

Perfect, I live in arlington! Any info (phone numbers, names, etc...) would be great!
And no, there doesn't appear to be any structural damage from what i can tell. The core support is undamaged (thank god) the only damage visible in the engine bay is the apron on the side, but I don't think i need to fix that unless it is necessary for the function of the car...
