Hi guys

I need your help locating a good bodyshop to paint and install my greddy full kit, which will arrive within next two days, I never have any experience with the bodyshop here, so I dont know who is good or bad, any of you guys have experience with it, can you please help me and recommend me some bodyshop in DALLAS area ( I lived in Plano ) with excellent work and good price, thanks

and for those of you have installed a bodykit on you Z, how much did it cost you to install your bodykit and hows the paint match with the factory paint? thanQ

I'm assuming by the color of your avatar that you have a Daytona Blue (pain in the butt to match) ask those who have the Nismo rear wing in the rear.

I dont have a 350z, so I'm not aware of all the different kits available for the car, but I assume your full bodykit includes front bumper, side valences, rear bumper and a wing.

you have two options, paint all of the pieces at one time based upon a color matching technique using the current color of your car, or the more priceyer (and more exact way to insurance a perfect match) is to "blend" each adjacent panel of your vehicle.

The first way will look rather nice, while the second way will be of show car quality... all depends upon what you are trying to accomplish.

By the way, I work as a quality control technicianat Huffines Collision Center in Lewisville.

We have a humongous facility, one of the largest in the Soutwestern US, we are a direct repair facility for just about every major insurance provider, we do a quality job and the right price and all of work is covered for the life of your ownership of the vehicle. We also offer an in-house Enterprise Rental Car office.

If you want to come in and get something taken care of, or you have been involved in accident go ahead and call me on 972-538-7231

If you want a very highend quality job, check out Stuart's off of Plano Rd. You'll pay for what you get as they are very thorough, but the work is top notch and they have matched the Daytona Blue on a full kit before.......something that from all I've heard.....is very difficult to do. My Z was only four months old when I took it there and it looked chumped in the parking lot with Ferraris and 911's.

Now, this is in no way a post to downplay Bankheist's suggestion, just another option.


Hope this helps.

I have invoices at home from my Nismo Fascia that should have the address and numbers on it. I found two listings for it online.

STUART PAINT AND BODY 10660 Plano Rd Dallas TX 75238 (214) 221-6999
STUARTS PAINT AND BODY 10440 Plano Rd Dallas TX 75238 (214) 343-5153

If you take 635 east towards Rockwall.....about 2 miles past highway 75 is the exit for Plano Rd. Once you exit take a left on Plano Rd and it's down about 1.5 miles on your right.

Hope this helps.

Hi, Kevin, thanks for the info!

so you saying that u guys will also do the bodykit paint n stall too? will you be able to give me a quote, tell me how much it will be to install my greddy kit? my kit include side skirt, front lip , and a half bumper in the back, no spoiler, thanks

HaNkYs_Z

thanks for the info!
may i ask how much did they charge you to install your kit? b/c they r going to charge me $2200 for full kit install n paint, so i dont know if thats how much they charge on you car or what, and i also ask him how many Z have he install bodykit on and he told me about a dozen, so i am wondering did they charge everyone of them $2200 or more , thanks

Bankheist

Well, tell me how it all attaches to the car. I need to know if any drilling or custom fitting is required on the underside to make it all fit perfectly.

Yes, all of out paint work is done in a downdraft style booth. Also, your car is blue, correct? I assume you will be able to leave it here as well.

Feel free to PM me.
