Do you guys have a recommendation for a good shop in town. No chop shops, someone who can do full body kits, custom work...etc on the up n up. Thanks

| my suggestion is to try 1 of those guys that teach autobody repair at a school(tampabay tech--etc)and see if they will do the job on the side--might be a whole lot cheaper. |

I've heard that Salemi's does pretty good work. Thats just word of mouth though.

my expierience with body shops has never really been great. They always seem to deliver the car with flaws even if you pay 4k for a paint job. They know that most people dont know the difference and cant tell. Heck when I picked my gs-t up It looked great but it also had just rained. when I got it home and it dryed and I looked at it the next day i saw imprefections and had it taken care of. That accually was the best paint job ive seen around here so far but it was 4k.
Also my wifes car I took to a reputable place here in town and had to take it back 3 times and there still its a fisheye i can see clear as day but no one else will notice it or might not even care but everytime i walk up to the car i look at it and it bugs me.
They know its not perfect but they have a budget to keep to and if it squeeks by and they get away with it, they made out. If not and you take it back 3 times than they loose out.
your making the right move by posting here but i would want to see the work in person.
