Body Shops
 
Hello So Cal :hello:

Wondering what body shops you guys use. I decided to start a little project with the Fit, but don't really know of any body shops. I am located in Pico Rivera , so anything closer to me will be better.


Thanks in advanced,

Pres

It entirely depends on area, location, and customer traffic, but save up at least 1500 if you want a long lasting paint job. Some places will even charge upwards of 3500.

Regardless of the cost, get a portfolio or have them show you some of their previous customers. See if you can see any customers from a few years back.

A paint job is certainly worth big money if it will be done professionally and correctly!

I have about 4k to play with. I do not want a show stopper paint job, just a good clean one. I am going to be ordering brand new head lights, window molding, rain gutter molding just to make the exterior as fresh as possible.

Is it me or do the JDM tail lights seem to be priced VERY high ? I want to do the conversion but the price point in my eyes seems, a bit much. I have to dig a little deeper see if I can find a deal out there.
