Morning folks,

Have any of you had your FD's repainted? If so which shop did you go to and how was the work? How much did you pay and was it the same color or did you respray with a different. I'm going to paint my ride by the end of this year and I thought it would be a good time to research now. Thanks people

Justin

 

Franklin Auto Body at Oakland
address is 3927 International Blvd
i'm repainting my rx8 there, i'm changing the color in and out.

 

apex autobody at San jose, it still in the shop now, i will post some pics once it done, oh i change the color of the car and redo all the bodykit too.

 

The Works Auto Body in Santa Clara does fantastic work and they are familiar with FDs...expect about $7k for a full repaint/body work. More for color changes or extensive body damage. Ask for Chris.

If you want SHOW quality, talk to Brian at B & D Auto in Pleasanton. Expect $10k.

 

hey is your car the VR r1 running on 19in M5's? My FD is also there and in a few weeks my other FD will be there. Paul at Apex Autobody does great work.

 

Isn't there a Franklin here in SF too? They are located on Fell Street. I wonder if its the same thing. I have seen this Silver FD there and it looked real good. Full GTC kit.

 

Yeah, that's my car, i saw couple of FD over there, which one is your. And yeah, i heard Paul does a great work.

 

mines the MB one w/ the red hood. My other FD is getting a LS1 subframe installed right now. After its installed Paul is going to repaint my whole car. You cant miss it, my red one has custom HRE wheels. Im picking Chuck's silver FD this week also.

 

im curious, but how much did you pay for that?

 

Is your car in the shop already? How come i don't see any MB FD? You bought Chuck's project car also, damn, you're rich man.

 

you dont see a MB at Apex? there's three of them. One is Paul's and other one belongs to one of the workers and the other one is mines.

 

Here's my red one w/ the sexy kit before.

maybe i am too busy taking pictures of my car : ) oh, i think i saw you at 280 before. Are you living around San jose?

 

yupyup, san jose

 

faded, let me know when you find a shop I'm looking for one too.

 

apex autobody does great work, no matter what car, ricey eclipses, change over colors, wetsanding cf hoods, when i have to paint my car i'll most likely take it there

audiobot is backing up all the work though, pretty soon audiobot will fill up the shop with fds haha jk

 

the Franklin in Oakland is the same as the one in SF, same people, it's new, so a lot less cars than those 2 franklins in S.F , they have a new paint booth there too.

 

M & S Collision on Scott Blvd. in Santa Clara. Talk to Charles. He's doing my 7 wide body kit install and color change inside out for around $6k. Does Unbelievable Work. Will Do Custom body kits, restores, pretty much anything and its top notch.

 

Here is some of Apex's work:

No problem bro. I'll keep you posted. Would you be interested in a bumper I'm selling? I'll give you player price for it if you'd like. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=432786

I've been trying to sell the same bumper for 100 bucks for months now and no one wants it. Including the foglights!!

 

Wow that's a steal price too. It must be the fact that they are not 99 spec turn signals bro... Ohh well.. I can hold on to it for a while. Where is yours from?

 

will you deliver?
