Default S2K body work

I have some minor touch up work on my S2K, and recently cracked the Front Under Body Spoiler. Used some touch up paint, but may need to take it to a body shop to estimate the cost. Any suggestions on a good local body shop that anybody has experience with.

Raj:

Tough to repair a crack in that lip that will last. Many times the real only fix is to replace the whole lip. You can get the OEM shipped, prepainted, and ready to go for $400. Dan Shores at Larry Miller Honda in Hillsboro (dshores@lhm.com) can get us all parts at a discount from list - email him and tell him you are part of S2Ki.

If you want someone to take a look at it, I'd try Kadels in LO (they have other locations). I've had them look at a tear in my lip and they've done plenty of other non-S2K work for me.

John, great info. You're right, repairing the lip might not be the best option.

Raj, check the FAQ as well, at the bottom there are links to resources like reviewed on local shops and also a little more details about contacting Dan @ larry miller honda

Pretty sure the ap2 lip is now discontinued. It may be hard to source pre painted.

Clock is definitely ticking! You can find the lip in a few warehouses, but the trunk spoiler is all gone The wing is still available.

Ah, but not ALL gone: just got the OEM lip, trunk spoiler, and side strakes all in Rio today Not all at one site, but they are going away, for sure. Larry Miller Honda in Hillsboro (Dan Shores) can still get the lip in all colors - AND an S2Ki discount

Yuck. If you think it would help, I could swap some AP2s for the AP3s
