Default OMFG!!! i love BASE!

Ok i gotta post this up.
First off, Base is the shop that did my widebody work etc. Incredible job you all have seen.
There was a huge gap between my hood and front bumper (you all saw it in person)


guess what.. the gap is GONE now! awesome job! Now they refitted my parts and repainted some panels to get it looking awesome for the show!

BAD NEWS
on the way back from the NZC meet in tysons corner, I blew a tranny line.
Over night and throughout the next day the fluid completely drained and dumped all over the roads. They figured they would replace the hose fill it up and it would be ok...but
No tranny fluid, the tranny is FRIED..COOKED..GONE
they found this out yesterday. They called me this morning and asked me to come in (10-15 min drive for me)
They knew how much i wanted to make it to the OC Car show this weekend and how important it was for me to have the car there and they know how much love, money, and work went into the goofmobile, so Chris the manager finds me a tranny, gets it to the shop today, car is up on the lift, and it goes in TODAY and will be running and ready to go for the show!

He went above and beyond to help me get my car running from the accident...transformed it and brought my vision to a reality...and he helped get my car running IN TIME for the show!

I wanna give my love and thanks to the crew for helping me out soo much!
and would recommend them to every single one of you all for anything!
they are a true mom and pop shop, where building rapport and relationship with customers is priority 1.

My experience with BASE.

1 - They fitted and painted the body kit for my ex-girlfriend's G. It was laser red and the original paint was totally oxidized. They paint matched the body kit to the rest of the paint to perfection! The kit was a replica and was a bitxh to fit but BASE made it nearly perfect

2 - I recommended my sister to take her honda Fit to get her front bumper fixed and repainted. 6 months later there's a teeny tiny bubble at the corner of the bumper. My sister's super **** and complained to me about it. I told her to take it back to BASE. Guess what? Not even a question asked, BASE is repainting the entire bumper for free.

yeah man i saw her fit there today!!! they let me kick it for a bit and told me that they gonna take good care of that fit

they put a lot of heart into all their work...and they were genuinely sad when they heard that a certain g35 wasn't taken care of after they put so much work into it

I added a STILLEN rear skirt to my kit and because of some oil additives the paint wouldn't adhere properly. They repainted my skirt several times and called me each time to brief me on the progress.
They even gave me a pretty good rate on getting the dings out and a complete re-spray.
