At the risk of providing the usual @$$hole response typical of the general forum, run a search against the mid-A forum only and you'll get an eye-ful. This is almost a weekly question anymore here, and it's really too bad that we've all had such a hard time finding a reliable, long-lasting high-quality body shop.

Barring that, I recently queried a local shop called "Auto Upgrade", and got this response:

"we are intereested in doing paint and body work on as many cars as you would
like. We do alot of long term projects, including paint. We are fully
equiped to handel your jobs, mixing paint and custom body work. Our painter
in one of the best and you will not be disappointed with our work.
thank you, and we look forward to working with you.

autoup@hotmail.com please give us a call for anything you need"


703-796-0040"

If you give 'em a call, let us all know how things work out.

They also included a bunch of pictures of recent work that looks pretty decent.

Will be calling for an update in a couple hours. They didn't really start working on it until this week because after opening up the box, the kit was actually cracked in four bumpers. The shipping company ended up paying for the damage, but I was waiting to see what was going on with that before giving the shop the go to make the repairs and start working.

So far the cracks are fixed and a test fit was done...This is from Monday, so hopefully they did a lot more since.
