Default One of the best Body Shops in Cali

Hey fellas, just wanted to let you know that, after countless years of looking for a decent body shop, I found one in particular that is very good. I will post pictures of my car later. So far the project is to pull all of my fenders 30mm to give the car a more aggressive look as well as being able to place some nice fitment wheels. I requested the work to be all metal with minimal or no bondo usage at all, and surprisingly they completed that task with flying colors. The body work was excellent, the paint is speechless, and the speed of their work is unbelievable. There price, which I'm sure everyone is wondering about was very fair. I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking. Let me know what you guys think.

here are more pics, side profile, front before bumper work and rear wheel/fender gap. These are dummy wheels, which are 19x11 in the rear with 30mm spacers. My current wheels are getting worked on. Enjoy! Please be honest with the work you see, as I take all opinions. More pics will be posted later today.

Here is the front bumper....my Nismo V2 getting cut and extended. They applied 2X4 aluminum brackets and tacked it to the two fiberglass extensions. In addition they had to remold and recreate the Nismo V2 bumper...I think they did a great job in my opinion. I'll leave it up to you to decide.

I think it looks good
It's like a very subtle wide body.


Any plans for doing the same in the rear?

Now here is the pics of the rear OEM bumper getting cut and extended. They took my bumper to their partner to fill the gap with OEM plastic material/polyurethane material.

Here are some close up pictures of the door jam, end points of the fender, and rear. I will post pics of the car complete once I receive my original wheels.
