All body work!!!!! David Williams Paint and Body in Arlington. Shop looks like a mom and pop garage but these guys have been doing work for years. Tell them Russell sent you. Great prices and perfect work.

Experience: They have done all my body work and it has come out perfect. my z is ppw and color match is perfect. These guys rock. Check em out. I dont know them personally except for getting my work done there, so im not trying to hook a friend up. But when you get outstanding work done you gotta share. And the pricing is great

 

I know a great place to get body work at. Steves Automotive Refinish. Its in North Fort Worth, kinda hard to get to his shop but his work is legit! He re-cleared my CF hood for $100, professionally blacked out my taillights $120 , re-cleared my headlights $140, Blacked out all my badges $40, painted and mounted my new front bumper. Great prices and excellent work. Heres some of his work on my z.

I am needing to find a shop that can clean the inside of my headlight and reseal it, I am debating on selling my car over this because I can't find anyone that can fix it. I have clear tape all over my headlight at the moment just to keep the water out. :/

 

I have this same problem. I went to AutoZone and bought some headlight cleaner for 10 bucks, worked like a charm. As far as the condensation goes, why don't you take sealant and just reseal the headlight? Especially if you know where the leak is, you just reseal that part. This is a 20$ fix, no need to sell your car over it!

 

Because of this post, I dropped off my Aerosync bumper to him yesterday. He told me to call thursday or friday I was surprised it'd be that soon He seems like a good guy and definitely offered me a good price I couldn't pass up. I'll post some pictures of my PPW bumper when it's done.

 

I would love to see pics, maybe even check it out in person if you're down for it. I'm going to have some paint work done before too long and I always wonder about someone matching PPW correctly.

 

Hey 13ino13,

Did you get your bumper back?

 

I've always heard good things about J&M, but things can always change. It's been a few years, but that's who I was thinking about going to for some spray tinting on my taillights. Never ended up doing it though.

 

Anyone know of a reputable place (preferably closer to FTW) to attempt a fix on my HVAC/Head unit module? Was intermittent for a while and conched out about a year ago, but haven't driven the coupe much until recently. I miss having radio and control over the climate!

 

I would say fuses, but if it was intermittent then it may be as easy as changing out the HVAC controls. I had that similar issue in another vehicle. Maybe check with the dealership for a diagnosis and part number(s). One of us locals could probably do the work so you wouldn't have to pay dealership labor.

 

I talked to someone at CIN back when I was in Charlotte (great place to have Z's/Gc's worked on). He said that there was one circuit board shared between the head unit and HVAC. He said that usually when they go bad they're toast, but said I might just have some wiring issues since it was intermittent. Good idea trying to find a part number. The circuit board is upwards of $450 so obviously a cheaper option would be awesome.

 

Sorry I'm 4 months late. If you still want to meet up and check out the paint job I'm willing to meet with you.

He took a week or 2 longer than he said he would but I told him to take his time and that I wasn't in a rush. I didn't want him fu<king $hit up due to me being hasty.

I wouldn't say he matched it. Although i'm not sure if he's to blame. At the time, it was my only car and so I left only the bumper and the gas cover so that he could try and match it with only the gas cover.

When I picked up the bumper, it looked beautiful. I mean, the guy does quality work, that's for sure. The problem was that the previous owner wrecked the front and took it to a quick-fix shop that got him a new bumper, paint, and blended it, for less than 300 dollars.. There was over-spray on the headlights, wheel well, wheels and tires, but those parts are all replaced and sort of forgot about it. When I put the new painted bumper on, it was obvious how bad the previous paint job was.

I planned to take the car back to him and have him blend it but my studies got in the way and haven't had a chance. But now that schools out though, and I also have a second car, I might just make a trip over there and see what he can do.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd wait till I had another car and just have him paint the whole car. Like I said, the man can paint.

As far as prices goes, he charged a little more at the end because he supposedly had to do another layer due to pinholes showing up. That was the only downside to the whole experience. Nonetheless I believe it was still a good price for the quality of work and I'd still recommend him.

 

Thanks for the response man. I'm in no hurry for paint work now since I've got so many other projects and costs right now, but I'd like to check it out for sure. We really need to have a big Z meet anyway.

 

your car looked perfect to me eric ^^

 

So much for the holidays. It went by too quick.

We really should, I have 3 other friends who also have a white Z (one is bone stock), and a customer who orders food from the restaurant I work at who also has a white Z, and a friend who has a black one. The customer said there are meets the first Friday of every month at a shop in Saginaw off main st I believe. What part of Fort Worth do you stay at?

 

Well its time to replace my diff bushings, is there any shop in dfw area that can install them for me without chopping my arms and legs off? i called JOTECH and they wanted to charge me $ 400 just the labor. pls help andThank you in advance

 

PM Acid Jake on here, not sure how much he charges. he may or may not be interested but doesnt hurt to ask.

on a personal note, i wouldnt let jotech touch my car EVER. too many horror stories from effed up clutch installs to bad tunes

 

I'm in north Fort Worth right by Keller.

Definitely get ahold of AcidJake.

 

Through the first 7 pages of this thread, JoTech was THE place to take your Z.

What happened?
