There's a place in Plano or somewhere up there called "New Concepts" or something like that for bodywork. There's a guy here that had a body kit installed and I thought the work looked perfect. Perfect fitment and perfect paint (matched and blended with the rest of the car).

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is the place.

I would suggest against New Concepts. They've been around the area a long time and I've had some parts painted by them in the past. They did moderately decent work but the turn around time was ridiculous and for the pricing I should've taken it to a more reputable place. Their work is not the top quality work you see on their "show" cars that they brag about. The work they do day to day is average to say the most.

If I want something done right the first time I would take my business elsewhere.

civic4982,

That's an interesting take on New Concepts. I haven't heard alot about them, but I just remember seeing a guy's Z that had a full kit installed and painted there. Looked immaculate. He did say the price was way up there though.

For another shop I've heard about... "The Body Shop" I think is the actual name and it's in McKinney. You could PM 3ree5ive0ero about it. He's a moderator here. I saw his front stock replacement bumper that was painted there and you couldn't see any color difference at all. It looked like it came from the factory.

I work next door to new concepts, as in next door I mean that most of the employees park in my parking lot. I would never take my car there. I hear the employees outside revving the hell out of the cars. They tend to have a few cops over there about once every other month due to theft of customers cars.

If you do decide to stop by there you should stop by the big white building next door.

I probably won't go to New Concepts now, but what's the big white building next door?

Still here :P

Sorry man someone hacked me and put Phishing software on my site. My web host pulled it down

I was at SEMA last week and its all back up now.

I can get body work done... I use an outside source that takes care of that for me. My guy does great work, I use him a lot for insurance jobs.
