Here's the thing. Anyone can quote it cheaper. But you want someone who will take their time, properly heat up the fender and slowly roll the lip. If this shop looks really good and they will stand behind their work, it might be worth it.
So you're definitely comfortable with them and they'll take their time? When are you doing it?

Not sure if I will have Auto Addictions do it. I'd rather have a body shop do it. I'm looking around for someone to respray my V2 and clear bra it. I may throw the rolling job at them too.

I definately will have it done though.

definitely don't go with Sterling Auto Body for any work - they quoted me $1700 to take out a few dings, and fill in paint chips, lol. that's where i had my insurance work done, and they did do a beautiful job, though.

Hey Brian, Collex over here in Ann Arbor did a decent job on Sarah's Camry when she got hit. The manager was a really cool guy and constantly made sure we were 100% satisfied. They quoted me $500 to paint a front bumper as a reference.

Also, my manager takes his e36 M3 to a body shop that he swears by, I'll have to ask him for the info.

I went by a few body shops today. A couple said they wouldn't touch it. Stony Creek quoted $600. Yikes! Aachen on M12 is a rat hole but they quoted me half as much. I just need the car to look good for the next 12 months. Then I will probably ditch the V2 for something else with CF.

Hey everyone!

So on Saturday the thing I am doing during the day is kind of weather dependent.
So It looks like that might be a wash...

When were you guys going to be meeting up at Brians?
Brian please Pm me your address again I might be able to make it for a little while anyway. Wouldn't mind coming and helping. I do work for beer afterall...haha

I also can bring my tools too if you guys think we will need them

Most of the guys on here are from the East side, I know a few guys in GR but none in Kazoo. welcome though if you have questions and stuff let us know.

-AJ

Hey bro. Did the guy that painted my Z call you? Surely he is less than that?

No call. I figured he wasn't interested. Either that or he tried calling while I was in China. Usually it goes to my voicemail but sometimes it won't. I would have rather gone through him but these things happen.

By chance does he do ClearBra? I'll need to do this ASAP considering my ride is a rock magnet.

I agree. Maybe I'll take a couple hours off and wash and wax the car today...

Don't do that. There is a 40% probability rain in the morning, it might be better to do that Monday. My car's dirty with all water marks from the previous time I drove in rain.

If I have a good coat of wax I can use spray detailer to clean it up after a drive in the rain. I love that stuff. I need to get the brake dust off anyway.

So I just now went through the parts left over from putting my exhaust on... we had WAY more leftover nuts and bolts than I remembered.

Also, I think I stole two of your sockets, Scott. I found a 10mm and a 14mm craftsman socket in my bag of nuts.

LEE

Those sockets are mine
I went through mine last night getting everything organized for Saturday.
I noticed I was missing some stuff

I knew it would happen when I had to leave so suddenly.

Next time I see you can you bring them around?

Saturday is still a game time decision for me.
Being dependent on the weather REALLY sucks!

Absolutely, AJ. I thought we sent a full set back with you. Scott hadn't even looked yet. :P
I'll bring it tomorrow and if you don't make it I'll keep ahold of 'em and we can figure it out.
