Default Body shop recommendation?

Well,

Now that everything mechanical is fixed on my car it's time to fix some of the everyday highway abuse..

I have pretty horrible roadchips on the front bumper/lip - Repainting always scares me but I guess I have no way out..

Any of you guys out there take your car for some paint work? I think I'm going to install the clear bra this time around too cause I don't wanna have to go through this twice.

Just wondering if nebody on here recommends a shop that will match perfectly and provide a good paint job with no orange peel/overspray

Sunshine Collision in Boca repainted my bumper and also KeithD's front & rear bumpers. I'm definitely happy with the work they did & would go back there if I needed more work done.

Not sure if you want to go that far though....

I work in Boca so that's not a problem - How much did they charge you for the front?

I paid < $300 - but that was thanks to KeithD working out a deal w/ the guy beforehand. Plus, I paid cash, which always works wonders when trying to get a better deal.

Call Ken Miller at Sunshine Collision. 561-368-4252
2700 NW 1st Ave, Boca Raton, FL, 33431

I had my car done in March and I know Keith had his done much earlier, perhaps around October or November of last year.

Tell Ken the psycho girl w/ the Sebring S2000 sent you. I'm sure he'll remember me!

No promises on prices with them. My hookup was a courtesy extended to me from a business transaction. I have no clue what they will charge, but they do good work.

Hey Geminigsr,

What tips do you have on the clear bra? Any idea who has it and does a good install? I have a colgan bra for long trips, but it would be nice to have some everyday protection.

Deiger, did you use that for the trip to TN? How did it work out? Where'd you get it?

No. Don't know. Mitch got it for me.

I didn't borrow because the front end is going to get redone before HIN in December.
