Well I finally made up my mind and with my careless driving to take into consideration I HAD to have a poly front. I decided on the INGs replica in Poly (350zforums.org). Once I recieved it the hard part was finding a place to make it work on the car ( you can ask anyone, not just any joe shmoe can put on a full front and make it look good ). After looking around I talked to Alain from Professional Autobody... What a great guy! I think he was more excited about my car then I was, and that is hard to believe. These guys were very meticiouls about their work. I even tried to take the car home becuase I thought it looked ok, Alain refused. lol They wanted to install a custom bracket for the underside of the front end to add extra support.
I do have to say I was very pleased with the level of communication from the shop as well. I mean how many shops will send you visual digital updates of your car to your work email so that you can watch the process taking shape while you are slaving away at work? None, no one can match that customer service!! Alain poked his camera in the shop from time to time to let me know where the car was at ( shows his love for this car , I tell ya).

I would have to give them an A++ in all catergories .. even though the front didnt come out pink like I wanted ( haha thought you guys would like that) I am very pleased with the results!!


I would recommend anyone with an aftermarker bodykit, body damage, or any other strange "body type" of work talk to Alain first! He is the man when it comes to making your baby look good! Even better than 16yr old car show girls ( inside joke )

Here is the contact information for the shop. It very easy to find and only like 2 miles from the beltway. Call the shop and talk to Alain.

Now on to the pictures!!

 

No Do-Luck?

 

Not for the front .. Do Luck on the Sides and Rears .. sometime in August probably with the way Do Luck USA is talking ..

MORE PICS

 

how well was the matching of the paint? I've had work done there before on my previous car (01 prelude) and the color of the kit didn't exactly match the car.

 

*Edit* Thanks for z pics!
I wish I could have had them do my bodywork since I f'ed up my Z, but that would've been WAY too far to tow my ride.

 

There are your pics Romeo..

 

whyd you make me resize em too? i hate you

 

looking good

 

Hey...That looks really really nice man. Congrats. Your car is going to look super bad-a$$ when you get the rest of the kit installed. (of course then your car is likely to be as heavy as mine )

 

how much do you think it'd cost to paint a fender approximately, got one at home just needs painting

 

how much they charge in paint and install it?

 

money.

looks good man.

 

i see fitment issues....(headlight)
but very nice nevertheless

Actually the headlight looks weird becuase I cut the vinyl crooked on the bottom edge ( my fault ). Also those pics are from the car coming out of a slope at the top edge of the body shop garage so basically to get that angle when the car is on the ground you would have to be laying down in front of it .. Ill get some other pics when I get it waxed up ....


Dont hate Ben :P

350WARZ Just give em a call about the fender

Concerning prices, you guys just have to give them a call keep in mind Alain is somewhat partial to the Z so he does good things for us ...

 

Good stuff Juan, sounds like Alain took real good care of you and your car. Can't wait to see the rest of the kit.

 

That looks really good man.

 

looks real good bro.

Hey 350zWarz I have a guy at moores on broad street that is painting my kit right now. When its finnished you can check it out and see if he might hook you up.

 

man that came out very nice! I love that front bumper.

Is it urethane or FG?

 

Polyurethane ...I checked it and it flexes very nice... ( seeing how I pulled up to far on a curb and bumped it already last night , didnt leave any marks though)

 

Looks good Juan! I ... obviosly love that bumper
