Default New project and local shop review...

Hey Mid-A,

Decided to treat myself to a couple upgrades on the Z. Also dealing with a local body shop (D&V Autobody) so I thought I'd put a link here so if anyone is interested they can follow the progress.

Lemme know what y'all think. See you at the open house.

Managed to get some photos of Driven1's project also. So you can track progress on two different projects. Enjoy.

You know a shop is legit when they don't give a penny of discount but people still line up outside to get their cars fixed!

Robbie I can't wait till your car is finished!!!!

Me neither. I hope it comes out like I think it will. Even got a new passenger headlight going on. lol

It was a little more than I expected honestly but they went through EVERYTHING line by line so that I understood and was ok with it (it could have been more in all honesty). They documented extras (they kept working while writing up the final numbers) with photos and everything and have taken me back to physically show me. I am very impressed thus far.

Also dropped my dad's 750Li off yesterday after someones cat decided to kiss the front bumper at 75mph. I called and they wrote the estimate took the car and dealt with the insurance within 24hrs. Woah...nice!

Yeah, I talked with Kevin today and he informed me of what they plan on doing each day prior to the open house. I'm just hoping the emblems get in before then.

Saw your project and they put some time into that front bumper. It's gonna look good. I also shot a few photos of the rear too. I'll get 'em up shortly.
