Default New Body/Paint Shop: Final Spec (562)

Hello guys, as the title states, this is a new shop where we do everything from collision repair to body kit installation/color matching and of course custom paint. My dad , grandfather and I opened last month though they've each been working for over 20 years in body, frame and paint. I haven't been too active on the forums as we had to make many sacrifices including the internet while we we're in the process of getting everything going. Since we are just starting off we know that it is important to establish a good reputation and customer satisfaction is ultimately what we are after. I am currently also a 350z owner so don't worry, I know we care about them more than ourselves lol. In all seriousness, we could really use the business and all paint and body work comes guaranteed to please. If you have any questions or would like an estimate we would be happy to oblige.

My personal cell is 661 341 7710, Daniel or my screen name Zephyr

Final Spec Auto Works
12005 Rivera Rd.

Pics attached are of my 350, and work we did ourselves before we set up our shop and the last is of our facility. Thank you for reading and have a good day =)

where's the license plate bracket go? If i was going to redo the front end, I would've mounted the front plate in a way to not drill into the front of the bumper.

Yeah I actually over looked the piece, but I'm looking for an aftermarket bumper which I'll see how I avoid drilling all together, the license plate frame itself is drilled into the bumper I do believe regardless.

Just be honest with your customers on fix times, part deliveries, and anything hiccups you might encounter with their car. Do that and you'll have people referring you left and right...

Sorry, this actually made me lol

Either way, if you had more black accents (front lip or sides or something equally tasteful) to go with the hood, it would work out better.

I lol'd too xD ^ think we can all agree on a +1, the thing is since we just started off the funds aren't really there yet. I know the hood is too agressive for the rest of the car so I'm saving to get something decent to compliment it ^^ Thanks for the advice though =)

How much would you charge to touch up the paint on the entire car? I believe it's Super Black

Just do your research and you'll be fine. What it all comes down to is what YOU want your car to look like. Not what other people want/think.
