Default body shop?

im doing a color change on my s to the amuse orange, i usually do paintwork myself but i have no booth or a clean garage to do it in. let me know of a reputable shop in okc that does this type of work and has a good reputation. im thinking of doing the entire front end and trunk carbon fiber and the from the doors back orange. give me your opinions, i am still debating on if this would look ok or not.

Sounds like it would look pretty cool, but it's more of a matter of what YOU want it to look like. I personally would like to see a Monte Carlo Blue or Long Beach Blue Pearl S, but I have a custom paint job in mind for mine. IMO, different is usually good. Just wanted to drop in my 2 cents.

Sorry, I don't have any recommendations on a body shop. Maybe Jerome or someone can chime in here...

I brought mine to Eskridge Collision, but they were pretty expensive. Insurance covered everything but my $500 deductable. It came out to $4575.

Mmmmm, moonrock! Moonrock is just sexy! Now that's a color I'd like to see in person.

A shop I would highly recommend is Mirror Finishes. I had them repaint nearly 3/4 of my S4 and they did an absolute awesome job. I think you would be very pleased. They do alot of highend cars there because of their reputation.

Mike Lindsey is the owner and who I dealt with.

530 N. Meridian ave. 73139
947-4330

Its just north of Reno on meridian on the east side of the road.

today we drove by Mirror Finish while we were going to lunch and there was a silver 911 turbo outside, probably like an 02-04 model. Damn nice, reminds me of the GT2 i raced about a month ago since all i could see on the silver one was the back of it, GET IT HAHAHAA
