Default Body Shop ASAP ???

Hey Guys,

My normal shop's body guy is off on vacation and I wanted to install my V1 Lip, Eyelines, and touch up any misc. dings/scratches around my car (mainly my front bumper) ASAP since I'm on vacation. Can anyone recommend a good shop that would still accommodate me in such a short notice, especially since it's a Holiday? I'm also looking into installing a clear bra right after as well. How long does these processes usually take anyway? Ideal time for me is on Monday, January 27th or Tuesday, January 28th.

Thanks,
James

Is the lip painted already?

I have a guy who is installing my V1 lip tomorrow morning at his house. He is a body shop guy, just doing some side work. PM me and I'll let you know!

No. Unfortunately, the lip is unpainted (still Urethane Black )

I'm just excited to finally have my parts in but now I can't seem to find a shop to do the install since it's the Holidays It's frustrating just seeing my parts just sitting around, know what I mean? If I have to wait, that's fine. If you find out any good shop that would accommodate me early next week, please let me know. Thanks Moodie and have a Merry Christmas!!!

Moodie: I know Rey does work on the side but will he be able to do all the paint and touch-up work I'm looking for as well?

Kosta: Thanks! I'll try to give him a call if Moodie's referal doesn't work out for me. Where exactly is this guy Ken located at?

Does any of these guys do clear bra installs as well or know of anyone who does? I would like to put this thing on as soon as I do all my touch ups so I don't get any dings and scractches again.

Thanks for everyone's help! Okay, time for me to go to my X-Mas party. Hope you all have a wonderful and safe X-Mas.

Ray only does paint jobs and installs. I don't think he does touch up.

As for clear bras, check with Krinkov and tell him Moodie sent you. He is mobile and does both precut kits and custom work!!

Hmm? I'm really looking for someone who can do the full package.

Moodie: Can you confirm with Rey if he doesn't fix dings and scratches? If not, I might have to just go with Ken since he has full capabilities. Also, can you please give me Krinkov's contact info for the clear bra?

Thanks,
James

Just called Ken and it seems like they are going to be closed for the Holidays from December 20th to January 5th . I guess I have to find another alternative.
