Default Car Toyz 2, LLC Contact Info? - Bumper Damaged!

I checked their myspace and the thread they made a while ago and couldn't find any contact information. I know they are somewhere in Rockville, MD and I actually live in Rockville. Can anyone give me their contact information? I have some paint damage on both the front bumper and rear skirt and I'm really looking for a good shop to get them repainted. Thanks in advance.

Hit a curb and here's what the front bumper looks like now.




My last paint job wasn't that great. I've never heard of rear skirt inside the wheel base starts chipping. The white you see isn't even basecoat. That's the color of the JP Type A body kit! I'm never taking my car there again. They charged me like $200 extra to "mold" the body kit, but they basically put some strong double sided tapes on and the kit started to have gaps again 2 days after I had the car back. I ended up sanding the kit myself and got it to fit well. Anyway.. picture of the damage (caused by rock chips?! I have no clue)

BUMP! I know it's way too soon to bump. But I'm off today. Hopefully I can get it over with today.

I have Arthor's card down in Brents Z.. I'll dig it up for you when I get home if you dont have any luck by then.


as for these:



This is perfectly normal stone damage. The JP is fiberglass.. when a rock hits it.. its going to chip like that. I keep a can of paint at my house just to repaint my wheel wells. Some folks have had clear bra put there after they paint it.. I'm not that **** though.

Thanks! I really appreciate it! Seeing the Z with messed up paint drives me crazy.

I just wished that they put a little more clearcoat though. I was happy with the paint job overall since I know silverstone is a bitxh to match. But I started seeing rock chips on on the rear skirt, front bumper after like a week out of the shop. Again, a little more clearcoat would really help.

It was over $1000! I know I sound like I'm whinning. But I was expecting top notch paint job for the price that I paid. I got quoted $800 by other shops. But I chose them because I heard good things about them.

More clear would not have stopped those chips.. you'd have to either bake the car multiple (many .. many .. many...) times, or wait a year to drive it once the amount of clear that you'd have to put there to matures. Slap some youch up paint in there. It will hide them.

Tell the bodyshop to put in that flex additive so the paint bends with the bumper instead of peeling off. BTW, go to Revision to get a new paint job, they're right off E. Gude.

I installed the kit myself. So it was actually $800 to paint the front bumper, side skirts and rear skirt + $200 to mold/fix the side skirts' fitment.

I dropped my car there yesterday. That shop has way too many names (Autobody Craftmen, Revision, DT Motoring?) So I see Team Function Tuned has good relationship with that shop. Actually they're the ones that painted my car the first time. I wasn't 100% satisfied. But I'd give them another try since they're nice people.
