I got hit in the rear quarter panel, and the fender is now kinda tuck in and close to the wheel. My car is also lowered with GF210 so when I hit a little bump, it will scrap. I don't really want to drive to El Monte if is possible. I was refer by Justin(WCN) that K&W in Walnut do great work, but just want to know that if anyone else have expriences over there.

I used to go to DTM for my car, and they did fairly decent work, i can't complain, i was happy with how my car turned out.

But lately they've been sooo busy, that they can't even give me a call back lol...

I found a new shop in Corona, called Aihead Kustoms, and this place rocks.

I'll be getting my car re-done there starting next week.

The NAtional Guard Airbrushed G35 was done there, and my buddy's APR Candy red/black G35 widebody was just completed there for HIN a few weeks ago.

Thanks for all the input guys, My car is in a drivable condition but I just don't want to scrap for a long distance.
Btw. One of my volk got small scratches on the lips also. Does anyone know any good wheel repair shop that can get it back to mint conditions?

Repairing VOLKS is near impossible to get it to match correctly. I've seen decent work, but nothing to get it looking original. I'm sure others may have other experiences, but every shop i've ever used or seen their work from just can't work with that clearcoat that they use. you may want to try contacting MACKING USA direct and see what they or who they would recomend.

i've been to M1 couple of times. first time, they color matched my front bumper perfectly. 2nd time was not as good as the first time but it was acceptable (rear bumper). the color was a bit off, but the paint job looked better than the factory.

tru wheel fixed my wheel rash. you can't even tell there was a rash.. it was perfect and cost $100. only drawback was that it dulled out. the adonize coating is not duplicable, so you may have to chrome it.

Yeah, duplicating the finish on the lip is HARD on the JDM wheels, and that's what I meant by not being able to fix it and make it look new again, that clear they use throws a wrench into the repair...

Try 2020autbodytech near the 626. Ask for David. They do excellent work.
