omg angel fuked up my car so bad that GTNPU Z can attest to it. It was ridiculous.

Had to take my car to Williams Auto Body in San Mateo to get everything fixed up. They returned my car with the trunk pieces all scattered all over the trunk, sound system all rewired wrong, panels missing, dust and garbage everywhere, oem bumper fitting extremely poorly, shattered my rear quarter window and had to replace it, diffuser mounted backwards, you name it. RIDICULOUS.

Gabe Sr. and Gabe Jr. are great people, I must admit. But the work was so bad it was simply UNBELIEVABLE. And it's an understatement.

Go to Williams Auto Body in San Mateo. Trust me on this one.

Yeah, they were really nice people but the work they did was horrible! Curious if they are using the same techs now (I hope so). All I have to say is even though it "looks" good on the outside, makes sure they properly installed it back together. My front bumper had OEM brackets that were not reinstalled & the worst part is that I had pretty much all the screws missing!?!? Only 2 screws was holding my whole front bumper up I only found out later on when I had to work on my car & pull the bumper off. I'm glad you had a really good experience with them but after that whole ordeal, never again will I ever go there or refer anyone...

BTW...they had both my car & Nitrouz's car for several months. Plus, we even gave them a chance to redeem themselves but ended up messing that up as well.
