Big thanks to Dustin @ Strafe and Taj Collision of Issaquah! Thanks to them, Vader roams the streets of Seattle once again

 

gotta love fresh paint .. looking even better than before!

 

Nice! Love the new trunk.

 

Ha ha I like your plates.

 

congrats! im still waiting on my car to be done from rear end collision damage. waiting sucks :[

 

Looks even better!

 

the red taillights look sooooo much better.

 

how are these guys? Strafe and Taj Collision of Issaquah?

good work?

i need to get my front lip repainted. but the last shop i went to had pretty hard time putting it back on.

 

looks great

 

Outstanding work, the fitment on the rear was good from Strafe no doubt but it's as close to factory as any aftermarket piece I've seen thanks to Taj. Even on a respray they may not be the cheapest, but I'd trust them to do an amazing job every time. I am a fan.





And thanks everyone who commented Nothing like getting yer car back to make you fall in love all over again.

 

Jooks i'm glad you got your car back!
I've had really good customer service with Dustin @Strafe aswell.
(But I haven't tested the fitment of the product yet )
The red lights look better!

How's the quality of that shop where they painted the new trunk?
I have had my Nismo V2 kit from Strafe sitting in the original box in my garage, waiting to be painted and put on.
I'm worried about finding a reputable shop to match my PPW paint

 

Thanks mang, I'm quite stoked Vader is back too!
Dustin is awesome, he really pulled some strings to get me taken care of super-quick as insurance was breathing down my neck about finishing the repairs.

Taj Collision in Issaquah is the shop that repaired and repainted Vader. TOP notch work there (may also be big-ish dollars, but you do get what you pay for) They blended the car very well (hard with all the swirls in the paint, but the new sections are flawless! I highly recommend them if you want the highest quality work done on your car!

 

Thanks for the heads up Jooks.
They give any price for the paint? or did insurance cover the whole thing?

A local 'mediocre' shop around here in Bremerton gave me a 'guestimate' of 1500.
750 for paint, 750 for prep and body work.
I've had many friends get their cars and parts painted at that local shop and said that I should only be charge the 750 for the paint since the kit's brand new and doesn't require prep work.

But I still need to look around other shops to see what else is there.

 

In my experience all aftermarket pieces will need prep. Don't skimp on this step if yours needs it. The pain for you will be bringing the kit over for them to inspect and give you an exact price but I'd recommend them for the job anyhow. If you do give em a call and explain the setup and tell em I sent ya see what they can do for ya

 

I'll hit up the shops asap.
After I pay for school

I'm sick of my kit gathering dust on it's box in my garage.

 

New shoes









Couple for the road!

 

Thanks to RocketCoffin for the amazing hookup! Hope all is well on your end Mang!

Thanks man! Looking good in CO. Still trying to sell the Z, got someone looking at it Friday, so we'll see.
