Thanks for the info Brant.

They do install aftermarket bodykit, right? I think I called this body before and they only do factory stuff. I will call and double check again. May be a different similar name.

Be right back....

 

screw all these other suggestions...

go with bel-red auto and talk to rich little. tell him ben with the silver s2000 sent you.

this guy does the best work and takes on all the paint work that carnutz sends his way.

if u ever see the bright blue bmw 7 on 22s... or the burgundyish modded 6 series with big chrome wheels... both paints done by this guy.

 

My car was done at Kenny's Auto Rebuild, in Renton. Don't have the number handy, sorry. They are on Park Ave, just north of 6th St.

 

Once again, thanks Brant,

Just called them and they did do aftermarket. Here is some FYI in case anyone interested.

The shop itself opened for 30 years which is good. However, the shop didn't do much aftermarket bodykit. However, they have two main person responsible for auto body. One guy called Dan, he only worked there for 3 months but he has 20 years experiend working with auto body. He did a lot of aftermarket body kit. (Note, different people will have different definition of "a lot") Don't know how much "a lot" is "a lot".

The other guy, around 10+ years experience and did a lot of aftermarket body kit as well. Once again, how much a "a lot"?

The only thing is, both of them didn't have much experience working with aftermarket S2000. Consider S is a rare car and amount all the S, how many people do go all the way to change the entire body? Amount all his expeience, it just happens that he did not receive much S to work on. This probably same as other body shop.

What I like is, they are honest. If they don't have the experience, they admit it. Unlike some other shop keep saying "yes, we do everything, pay us first and we guarantee 100% customer satisfaction, etc" and all those BS like keeping saying yes even though they don't.

I will drop by their shop to browse around sometimes next week to check them out. More info. later.

Once again, Brant, thanks for the recommendation. I live in Redmond too.

 

Happy to help. I was impressed with their honesty when I dealt with them and the quality of their work was first rate.

 

Thanks Ben,

Actually Bel-Red Auto is the first one on my list. I went there, check out their shop, talked to a few people. They do excellent body painting but they have no/very limited experience installing aftermarket body kit. Otherwise I would have gone there.

My other option is to have BRA do the painting and I install it myself. However, I might as well find a shop that go all the way.

 

Yeah, nowaday it is hard to find a shop that is truly honest. We understand business is business and it takes whatever to grab business.

I have had so many bad experience about shops that don't live up to their words. They always charge you first so that they have the power. It ends up I don't go there anymore.

Once again, in case anyone interested and don't make the same mistake as me. Do NOT go to Stage Performance at 12029 NE 85th St, Kirkland. I made a mistake, learn from me.

 

no man. not bellevue auto rebuild. bel-red auto rebuild. rich little makes a living painting body kits. his car is the new 6-series with full Hamaan body kit, dog. all work rich did.

custom paint. the bmw 7 has the full ac schnitzer kit. all work rich did.

 

Congratulations Eric!!

 

argh.... geezzz... nowaday all the shops have similar name.
