There's a body shop in the west loop-ish area that I had taken my AP1 - Guy and Son's. I was really happy with their work. I recommended it to K1ngfunk when his MINI needed work and he was happy with it. Their price is a tad high, but they are really good at paint matching.

I don't know how I missed this thread, but here's what I got planned:

-> surprise
-> retire my s2k as a track car and make it strictly a weekend joy car
-> powdercoat my rims as they are completely destroyed from track pads
-> sell the Invidia dual, install J's header and T1R exhaust, and possibly get the car tuned
-> install headrest speakers
-> get a new front bumper (got so many rock chips that it's not cost effective to fix anymore )
-> ...and lastly, not s2k related... but, get a CBR600RR






PS: Phil, congrats on the NSX I that car
wha?!?!

I'll give you a call. Really interested in what the surprise is and why you're retiring the S for track duty. I take it they are related (new track toy?).

Guy and Son's body shop on Van Buren just north of UIC comes highly recommended by both Pat and myself. They did an amazing job with my Mini and saved me a lot of dough, too!
