Funny!!! I'm normally on G35Driver and didn’t know about his meet... Coincidently I went to this Autobacs last week to order a Billet grille... told the guy I had to have it by the end of the week because it would go to powder coat with door trim this Monday... he assured me it would be in time.
Order was Tuesday, Precision Grill is in Santa Fe Springs (20 minutes away) - As of Thurs Autobacs did not have grill and said it wasn’t being "shipped till Friday” - WTF!!! The place is 20 MINUTES AWAY!
No "Will Call"... I cancelled order and re-ordered form the same exact manufacturer though "Billet Superstore" in Anaheim (Orangethorpe by 57 fwy). Had the grill the very next day! (Yesterday). It's at the powder coater as I type.
Moral of the story... Autobacs Sucks!!! - Glad you guys had a good time though. Weird how they had a modded G35 in their lot 2 days before and didn’t make good on a sale - Oh well - must be because I'm a sedan... should have raced their toy cars out front to get some attention.

I gotta chime in here , you guys talk mad **** those 2 white z's look best out of all those pictures, M1 has painted a ton of cars for us and I have never had a problem with any of their work! White sucks *** to match and so does that ugly orange (Zraygo doesnt count cuz his car is faster than all of ours) haha ..and they usually will spray the car and let it sit for week to see how the paint settles after it dries completely and then if its off they are chiil with reshooting it. THis is a small industry honestly go easy on the **** talking its just not nice and word travels fast, and I'm sure I will probably get a sponsorship request from one of you and I'm sure you don't want me to just reply with some crap you said on here.. peace
on a side note don't these two guys own IPS ?? discounts don't come easy these days so don't burn any bridges.

i was just saying that it wasnt a good shoot. i thought that his painter just told him that it was hard to match white and so therefore he just gave up. didnt mean any harm to any shop out there. ahh well, i know m1 will stand by their work as they always do
