Planing on taking my car in for some quotes on some body work. I need both rear quarter cut out and re welded (just a small piece on both, body kit installed, new windsheild, window moldings, 4 rust spots around front windsheild and a respray. I'm undecided on the color but I dont think I want red so door jabs and hatch need to also be sprayed.

Paint color is undecided..... either champ white, black, or a really dark blue. I dont want any metalic $$$ stuff but I want it to look good and last. So what would I expect to spend?

Also I did a search and found some people to recomend the following shops.... Concours Collision, Hallmark, Maranellos, Low Cost Autobody. Any opinions on those?

Well Concours pretty much told me they wouldn't touch my car:thumbsdow the guy said they dont normally fix rust but rather only do collision work.....


...... maybe they didn't take this 18 year old white punk seriously? Who knows? But either way poor service and I guess I'll have to take my hard earned money elsewhere.
