I'm looking for a specialized and reputable body shop to do some custom work, does anyone have any suggestions...

Would be handy if there were specific emails to send over images/descriptions instead of having to go back and forth.

Cheers!

 

what kind of work mate???? SUPERCHARGER!!!!!!!!!

 

You will be the last person I would disclose anything too, your already getting the same shoes

 

My car is getting a new bumper installed as I write this. It's at Euro Pros in Gaithersburg. They came highly recommended by a buch of people, and most of the cars there are Porsches. When I get it back, hopefully this week, I will let you know what I think and post some pics.

 

Come on Mick.....maybe I'll beat you to the punch this time w/ the SC.....

HAHAHHA

 

Deckman look forward to the results and review, also let us know what the turnaround time was like.

Cheers

 

Will do. I expect good results, but the thing I am most curious about is turnaround since they have a reputation as not being the fastest. I dropped it off Saturday and was told I could probably pick it up Wednesday or Thursday. I went in to talk to them about the license plate holes (to have them filled in) and they had the bumper up on a rack with three others in front mine. That was Monday. My son comes home from college for Thanksgiving Friday and I'm sure he'll want to have access to the daily driver while here. I'd like to have this car around as a backup.

Best guys in town hands down.

 

I was just quoted something ridiculous by them
Since EuroPros is closeby I'll stop by them next month.

 

So my car is still there. I just spoke to Jack, the owner. It seems there is a one inch crack near the headlight that will need to be repaired. I couldn't say if it was there before I dropped it off since I never unwrapped the bumper. But I didn't notice it when looking at the bumper from the inside. Anyway he's repairing it at no charge and said he'd get it primed today and painted tomorrow.

By the way, their prices seem pretty reasonable.

 

Right on. You said you wanted a reputable shop, not cheap.
I can only speak on their excellent customer service and quality of work. I know of some rock bottom cheap guys too, if your interested I could get their names and numbers from my buddy later tonight.

 

For the price that they mentioned I could purchase the OEM part from Porsche Motorsport but it would take a while to receive - going the body shop route should save some pennies as mentioned by someone who has already done this work.

Please don't get your knickers in a twist

 

Thank you Deckman for your updated feedback. Hopefully this thread will be of use to other "valuable" 6speeders.

 

I've been using Wagonworks in Alexandria for past 4 years. They are very good to me and Doug is the guy to talk to.

 

I've seen some awesome work come out of there. They are a bit pricey as well though.
