Front bumper needs re-painting. Badly. Will probably happen after the meet this weekend. Also, any ballpark ranges for price? It's an aerokit II front bumper. Similar to the 996 MKI GT3 front bumper.

Dick's autobody is number 1 but you better call them asap because there is a long line.

I know a couple places up here northwest of the city that do a great job as well. For inside the city limits, I would say Dick's is the best as well. PM me or talk to me at the meet if you are interested in some places northwest of the city that can do it for you and without as long of a wait.

Mike's Autobody is also tops from what I've heard, he does work for Chambers Motorcars in Sommerville.

I get my work done at Hatch & Sons in Wayland, they're renound MB restorers and usually have some exotics in the shop getting work. If memory serves me Dave Cusano is the Body Shop manager... (I'm on the road presently).

I can't trust any dealer bodyshops. They pick one of the cheapest and most efficient for them without doing the right job. I especially do not trust Chambers LOL!

I totally agree however Chambers Motorcars does serve the highline clientle and therefore they refer out business out to the independent shop... Mike's AB. I have never used Mikes but have heard nothing but positive feedback. He's also a sponser of the NE Region PCA.

Again Hatch and Son's is who I have had positive direct experience with.
