I just purchased a front FVD chin spoiler for my 997.2 and would like some feedback for a good body shop to get it painted and installed in the San Jose, Santa Clara- South Bay Area; one that is experienced and works on Porsches.

My exterior color is Aqua blue metallic so not sure how hard it might be to match the paint, etc.

As always, TIA everyone!

 

I asked this question awhile ago and got a few responses. The only one in San Jose area that was recommended was Body Style. I talked with the owner Cecil Beach and he has done quite a bit of work on Porsches and sounded very familiar with my 996 platform. I'm bringing my front bumper to him to get re-sprayed next week.

 

Appreciate the feedback, thanks Nor Cal.

I did also get some responses on German Auto body being excellent, however after my visit and chatting with the Estimator, Travis- either he is clueless or they don't seem to work much on body kits, painting mods, etc. and just work on repairs.

I told him the lip spoiler just attaches underneath the bumper and he insisted on quoting me 2 hrs labor to remove the bumper. There is also a small hairline
1 cm minor crack that I know can be epoxied just to prevent it from getting bigger and again, he quoted me another 2 hr labor for that repair...

That was the impression I got FYI.

 

I just bought and installed a new 'used' bumper to replace the original one which had a few cracks. Benz Collision Center in Redwood City painted my bumper to match the Arctic Silver paint on my car. I thought they did a good job. Not sure if your blue paint would be harder to match.

 

Thank you John, appreciate the information. Cecil is closer to me so I will come by and speak to them first.
