Default AWESOME body shop in mid A!!!! MD

whats up guys? recently I had a lil accident with my Z, nothing major, but enough to make me upset. Center of my v2 cracked as well as both sides near where the bumper meets the fender. The clear on the cf canards and the cf lip were peeling making it look pretty awful too! I talked to insurance and they gave me an estimate ( i didnt have custom coverage to replace my stuff) but they took care of the fixing. I brought my car into the shop, Base auto body, and they took care of me VIP style!!!! They took care of everything on the insurance side and i really didnt have to worry about anything!!!

lets talk about the work!

They fixed all the fiber glass!! they even filled and smoothed out the 2 little nostrel grooves (grooves that are supposed to flow up to the hood in the center) so that its all flat...they even re cleared my carbon fiber and now it looks brand new!!!!

They painted the center of my bumper matte black...and best of all They painted the roof gloss BLACK!!!! it looks awesome!!!!

The best part about this is they had it all done in 3 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Base Auto Body - Elkridge
6205 South Hanover Road
Elkridge, Maryland 21075

ask for Shimmy or Chris, let em know you found them through me (danny nguyen) and they will take good care of yoU!
They do interior work, custom work, custom paints, clears, charisma clears, vinyl work, custom body work, whatever you need!





gloss black roof



matte center

HAHA asshole!

I saw the before and after in person and this shop did a really good job. They paint matched it perfectly too and the turn around time for all that work was 3 days?!??!?! Now that really impressed the hell out of me. I'm gonna stop by the shop soon to get a few things done too!

matching chrome silver isnt really that hard. But then again, any shop can *** up paint easily.

Looks awesome dude!

Just go there and mention you're Goofball and Ethan's friend. Not only you'll get a good quote on body work, they'll try to finish your car before other cars since they're really trying to get into the aftermarket business.

My sister dropped her car off on a Saturday afternoon to get her front bumper repaired and repainted. She got her car back the following Tuesday and it turned out perfect!

Standard pricing? I have some serious body work to do on the Z - e.g. rust removal on the rear fender. I havn't had it fixed b.c. I live in fear of teh body shop.
