pricewise on low end too please

 

me thinks you shouldnt just rely on price, im sure you already know you get what you pay for, but im buzzin... check out http://www.mobworks.com

 

Install involves majority bolt on and the remainder some welding work. So for the bolt on portion u can do it urself, but first u need to have teh jdm radiator support welded on, i know a place u can go to that did great work on my roomate's jdm conv. I posted about it before and mentioned him in the past. If you are serious about gettin the welding done by him just IM me and i'll give you his info. As for painting, that part you really get what u pay for and i don't think you could possibly have a better reputation than MOBworks.

thanks guys but there is some bodywork I need done to my car too. I was wondering if anyone know some mom/pops shops in san gabriel or el monte area that are cheaper. MOB might be good but I know I can get stuff done cheaper elsewhere since MOB overcharges atleast a grand for same work I can get elsewhere.

 

i understand your financial predicament, shoot i'm a starving college student myself, but be careful with ur choice of body shops. If they do a subpar job now and u end up having to get it fixed and redone down the line, then u just lost urself a chunk of money. So be wary about the decisions. And good luck with ur bargain hunt.

 

thank you sir, I'll take that into consideration.

 

http://www.2020autobodytech.com or http://www.jtautostyle.com. If i was me, I'd go to 2020 since they dont only do the conversions and bodykit install and paint, they do insurance claims as well.

 

im not in CA but i can tell u mom and pop shops will kill your paint job...so unless u actually see somebodys car that was painted there then think twice

my dad has his nova painted at one and well it had to be repainted a year later because everythign was cracking and the sopposed body work was showing through

so save yoru money if u have to, just get it done right the first time

 

jt autostyle does terrible work. go to mobworks.

 

I've heard some bad things about jt, but most were in regards to their overusage of bondo in custom work. Their paint quality i wouldnt be sure about.

 

I can vouch for that... I had a couple friends who got their kits painted at JT and the quality of the paint is... sub-par I guess to put it nicely. Front end paint chips too easily. Back in '97-'98 I remember going to Tony at JT... he had a nice Miata with Supra head/taillights that's about all I can say for them. I've heard good stuff about PJ Bonifacio over on Hacienda and Valley but I haven't seen his work first-hand. Also for paint, you might want to check out Puente Hills Auto Body (right behind Puente Hills Toyota or Volkswagen, if I'm not mistaken) Their paint jobs are pretty good but they charge a lot. They quoted my friend about $300 for just painting his stock Accord bumper. Also don't go to Citrus Auto Body... even though the owner is one of my family friend's uncle, the work they do there is horrible. I got rear ended and sandwiched a few years ago and got my body work done there. My front bumper doesn't match, they painted over the top black bolts and that black strip on top of the bumper, got overspray on the stock front "lip", my fender lining, my left stock "side skirt", some of the black trim near the rear windshield, and did a shoddy job on the clear coat on my rear bumper. to Citrus Auto Body.

there must be some "cheap" places that do good work. I seen people spending 1000 on different paintjob and car looks great 2 years later still.

 

any comments on 2020 Autobodytech??? Okay, dont go to JT bodyshop then you will probably better off in "One Day" auto paint

 

u have any personal experience w/ them? or friends who have personal experience w/ them? (btw: almost every shop does insurance claims. ie jdm front end.)

 

I don't have insurance.

 

but you have enough to get a jdm front end?

 

anyway

 

are you asking if I have any experience with JT AUTO??? The reason why I said "Okay, dont go to JT bodyshop then " is because someone posted that they do bad jobs. I actually suggested JT and 2020. you need to start reading the posts before replying...it wont hurt also, who said that NOT most body shop doesnt do insurance? I just said they also do insurance claims as in regular collisions.

pdiddy, ALLMOTORDC is shooting to get a 5k postings thats why his replies doesnt mean any

Im the one who posted they did bad jobs you dumbass. YOURE the one who recommended 2020 and JT, when you have no experience with either one. you were making it seem like they do insurance claims, which is such a great thing. when any body shop will do it. so YOU read the replies..and read who posted them..before you answer back with a stupid comment.

ive been here for two years u stupid fob. u think i give a crap about how many posts i have? go learn how to speak english b4 u try to talk shxt on the internet .

 

wow! you must be really pissed off

 

sorry i know this is a repost, but it had to be done

 

LOL

 

I have the same problem, trying to find a decent shop who won't charge 300 to paint a bumper, but you don't want oragne peel and chips. The best advice to check out a car who had some paint work done and if it looks good, ask them where they got it done. Everyone on HT is always talking about MOBworks, I haven't been over to the shop yet, but I wasn't that impressed with their gallery of pics. STill looking for another reputable body shop in Socal..
