Boulevard Collision in LB worked on mine when I had a fender bender. They said they had worked on several Z's. Shaer's Nissan of Long Beach sends all their body work to them. My experience is that they do not do quality work. They are on Cherry near the 405. If anyone recommends them, I would stay away.

Go to Sixteen Customs in Gardena. The owner is Hiro, and he can be reached at 310-715-1810. I've been to him MULTIPLE times (in fact, this is my 4th time, and I just picked up my car again today). Let him know Amit referred you. Guarantee you will be extremely satisfied (I'm pick as hell!).

Good luck.

I will! - thanks!!! BTW, do you know if they do refab work (most of the Japanese body kits require a bit to fit)?

No problem. As for refab work, I'm sure they can take care of it, but he will probably charge more. Although if you buy an authentic kit, fitment generally isn't a big issue.

A full kit from Japan, BUT I have heard some of these kits (like INGS, Amuse, etc), the front bumper can not wrap around properly on the US models due to the reinforcement bar <~~ and PLEASE, no one NAG me about not removing this, yada yada...I'm not. I made the mistake of posting a thread to see if anyone has had to do any modifications of that bar to get their imported kits on...got good advice at first, but then badgered by some others (one a insurance adjuster)...if I needed that sort of response, I would have asked my husband!!

Give Monterey Park Auto Body a call too, Johnson is a cool guy. I'm going to have a new front bumper done there shortly, had the first one and sides done there.

yea thats why steve's a hommie. hehe but yea...i even sent him a g35 to his shop the other day. the g35 guy wanted to do some insurance claims and what not because his car got keyed and since steve couldnt do everything the guy wanted, he found another shop for him that would fulfill the guys needs that also does good work. couldnt ask for more better service than that.
