Recommendation for bodyshops?
 
Does anyone have any recommendations of good bodyshops? I have a fujimura front bumper to be sprayed, custom fenders sprayed, fujimura side diffusers cleaned and cleared, mines add on deck spoiler cleaned and cleared, power house amuse rear bumper with carbon accents sprayed and carbon cleaned and cleared. Wanting it blended in or a full respray. I have a light crease in drivers rear fender to fix and a few rock chips on the hood from having it 5 years. I'm pretty picky and want a good job but don't want to over pay for a good job. Any good experiences or shops u can point me in the right direction of will be much appreciated.

Pfdaxe: who are u having paint your front bumper? U painting and putting it on or blending it in?

Here's a link to who I use. His name is Ty and he does all of my paint. Even did my tails. Shop is located on Alma School Rd, just north of Broadway in Mesa. Reasonable prices:

Hey Nick, nice job on the dipping services. Btw, it's Kevin.

brutusvk 08-09-2014 10:48 PM

Anyone ever go to the Mixteca car show Saturdays on 67th and Bell? I go up there sometimes and I am always the lone 370.

Also anyone know a good hydro printer in town?

I haven't heard of that show and I'm right down the street from there. If the weather holds out, we're thinking about heading to Pavilions this Saturday.

As far as Hydro Printers, I was thinking about having a few things dipped, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Here's some links:

I may or may not be at Pavs this weekend, not sure. The GF has some crossfit show/event/something she wants to attend and I'm not sure what time it ends.

If we do end up going, I'll let you know and you can hear the Berk system. We took a ride up to the Grand Canyon yesterday, the long way through Prescott. :driving: Such awesome curves and beautiful exhaust sounds. :drool:

brutusvk 08-11-2014 02:57 PM

Thanks for the links!

I will be at the Kmart/mixteca car show this saturday. Gonna bring the Z and the GTI. Now if I had the nova running by then. :)

I hadn't heard of a show being there.

I know that's where we used to hang out in our street racing days once we got kicked out from our other spots. :icon17:

What time does that show start? And what type of crowd/vehicles show up?

brutusvk 08-11-2014 03:39 PM

Pretty much every Sat night. (a lot of Fridays too) There are all types of cars. Mostly classic but a good mix too. It is like a small, less stuffy version of the Pavillions show. I used to meet up with some nova folks up there. However, all of our old cars are apart. Depends on the weather when people get there. We went from about 6 to 8 this last weekend. I will not get there until 7 ish the weekend. I have to work until then.

In case anyone local is looking for a sportbike mine is for sale.

pfdaxe 08-14-2014 06:03 AM

Looks like we maybe at Pavilions Saturday. Haven't been in a while so looks like a good possibility ;)

Haboob 08-14-2014 08:09 AM

I may not be there this weekend. The GF has some crossfit show that she wants to attend. And apparently there are three bars. And I'm not driving.

Sooo.... yeah. :D

pfdaxe 08-14-2014 09:46 AM

Hey Nick:

Since I drove the Zed today, I think I'll have time to stop by at Apex around 3 today for a quote ;)

pfdaxe 08-14-2014 08:47 PM

Didn't make it to Apex today. But, I did find a tint guy that does clear bras. Quoted me $250 for the bumper which is a great price. One place quoted $600 since it's an aftermarket bumper (can't use a pre-cut bra). Once I get the bumper color sanded next week, it's bra time! I have to repaint and bra my hood also since it has some scratches and chips, but that'll have to wait until after our Vegas road trip next month...

brutusvk 08-16-2014 01:44 AM

Took sat night off. May hit the Pavillions. Anyone going?

We're still thinking about it. We're heading to Casa Grande mid-day to hang with friends, so it's up to the Mrs. when we get back

Haboob 08-16-2014 12:13 PM

It depends on what time we get out of this crossfit event, but highly unlikely. Esp. since I won't be driving and there will be alcohol available. :P

brutusvk 08-16-2014 01:17 PM

If no one is going we may end up just going to 67th and bell. WAY closer to us.

brutusvk 08-16-2014 10:56 PM

At the car show on 67th.

Nice. We didn't make it to any show tonight as we didn't get home from Casa Grande until after 8. May try again next Saturday for Pavilions

lauj 08-20-2014 05:58 PM

Have anyone been to Pitstop Performance to work on your car? How was your experience with them? Im planning to have someone to install my Fast Intention exhaust and test pipe.

Z Spec 08-21-2014 03:36 AM

Anyone know a good/cheap shop for vehicle wraps? I already have the vinyl wrap and I was thinking about letting someone professionally wrap it instead of wrapping it myself. Also I'm located in Chandler, preferably somewhere close by.

pfdaxe 08-21-2014 09:04 AM

Well kids. If the weather holds out, we'll try and make another attempt to visit Pavilions Saturday

:driving:

Haboob 08-21-2014 05:22 PM

I think we're going to try and make it out Saturday too. :tup:

I'm teaching at the academy (first day), so we prob be over there around 7ish. Maybe a bit before. It all depends what time I finish. It's sometimes tough to get a good spot that late, but I usually muscle my way in :tiphat:

Yeah, we don't even fight them. :icon17: We park over by Conn's.

brutusvk 08-23-2014 04:47 PM

We may head out there too.

Haboob 08-23-2014 06:55 PM

We're gonna head out about 7:30 from 67th and the 101. We're just going to park over by Conn's. Swing by there if y'all wanna see the GTR. ;)

We'll be walking around for a bit though.

brutusvk 08-24-2014 01:02 AM

We stayed until about 8:30 and then my wife said I had to take her out to dinner. I saw one 370 out there. Not sure if it was anyone here.

pfdaxe 08-24-2014 11:17 AM

We were there for a couple hours. Probably 7:30 til around 9:30. Found a great spot, popped the hood and walked around. Had lots of people asking questions and taking pics. Great crowd...

:driving:

brutusvk 08-24-2014 11:29 AM

I saw your car, parked in the center isle by the wrapped GTR. (I think) I didn't know who owned the car. I was walking around with my wife and my buddy Tony. You can't miss him, 6'5" ginger with a American flag tattood on his arm. lol

Well, I made the mistake of not getting off on Shea... I was stuck in that traffic for about an hour to get off at Via de Ventura. We just ate at BDubs and then went to the Scottsdale dealerships.

I really f'd up the night by missing that exit.

trustr888 09-04-2014 11:23 PM

Quick plug. Myself and a few other Nismo 350z's are planning on heading up to South Mountain at 9am in the morning on saturday. I know of another Nismo coming from Cars and Coffee in the morning to head up to South Mountain. Hit me up, PM me if you guys want to join. It would good to have some 370's in the mix.

Haboob 09-05-2014 08:58 AM

Hopefully C&C happens tomorrow. It's supposed to be a very good chance of rain, so we'll see.

That may change what's possible for the day. :(

Why does it always have to threaten rain (and most of the time follow through) on the first Sat. of the month? :mad: :mad:

Rain or shine, we'll be there. lol Not sure why were having this much inconsistency with the rain.

trustr888 09-06-2014 10:32 AM

Haboob, I saw your 370z.

At C&C? Or Pavs? We ended up going to both.

C&C was bumpin' this time. :woot:

Can't wait for cooler weather though. Ugh, it was hot.

I saw a few Z's out at Pavs, including a new 2015 Nismo. :drool: That thing looks pretty sweet - minus the wheels and the lips on the front and rear fenders. I think it could do without those, IMO.

Haboob 09-07-2014 08:35 PM

...and my Z was so dirty. :wtf2: I didn't have time to wash it after it got caught out in the storm Thursday night.

Z Spec 09-12-2014 04:27 AM

How come everytime I go to the Pavs I never see any Z's :(
