Got my car back today and a big +1 DTM
Well, after alot of looking around for a shop that could do my paint, glass, and cage work. I found DTM, it actually took probably two months before I could actually get my car in there. But Mia and Maggie at the front we great at replying to my emails and keeping in touch about what I needed done and when I was coming in.
First off, the paint match was great, no bad spots or anything. Next they worked with the fitment of the rear nismo pieces and the JP front to were they have a perfect OEM fit, I was very impressed.
Next the cage, I came up short on some of the hardware. And was running around like crazy to find a solution to fix the problem so they could finish and get my car out before HB. Well after a lot of phone calls to vendors and suppliers I found that I would not be able to source replacement parts in time. But the group at DTM fabbed up another idea and got the cage in and also has a very OEM like (as much as a cage can in the car) look to it.
And lastly the CF hatch I had installed myself. I brought it to them to have the glass from my OEM hatch installed into it, and to fix the horrible fitment issue I was having. And once again the fitment was dead on and the glass looked like it was made for this hatch.
All in all I was very pleased with the 7 day turn around time, the paint quality, the price and the detailed work that went into my car.
I would definitely say if you need some body work done, DTM should be very high on your list.
(Pics will come tomorrow at the HB meet, due to the fact that it was to dark outside by the time I got home.
Thanks to all the folks at DTM (Mia, Maggie and etc.) and for Rick with help with the cage stuff and Andy for the referral.
