(flame suit on)
Its so frustrating working in the industry.... Everyone wants an exceptional job and doesent want to pay anything for it... Then they complain that the finished job(from the cheapest shop) doesent look or perform the way they expected. I'd rather pay a fair price for a good job, and get it done ONCE without hassles. Having to pay another shop to fix the cheap job done the first shop will cost more in the end.

I am not saying in any way that low cost autobody does low quality work.

i was wondering tho which place is better between like impressions and rpm or autodream etc, because evryone i talk to bashes one and recomends the other so i dunno what to believe i just dont wanna [ay a ridiculous amount to install a simple body kit
and anyways low cost autobody doesnt even do installs on body kits

For body work out of the three I'd say RPM, for anything to do with alarms and stuff, maybe the other two.

If you are getting a fiberglass kit than goto a bod shop to install it 'cause they are b**** to put on and NEVER fit right. The body shops can make them fit better than we can. As for urethane the are pretty simple and fit great.

could not agree more.

the first thing that would scare me is paying twice the price compared to maaco and getting the same quality

**XylathaneGTR** · 02-02-2003, 11:50 PM

I've heard RPM does really good bodywork, maybe 90% of the bodywork comments i've heard from them was good.
Owner's civic = sexxxxxy

A $600 paint job would still suck. Good paint alone would cost more than that. Im guessing you havent seen a maaco paint job? The $239 special

You get what you pay for.... scuff and splash..

I'll have to go take a look then.. I have to smooth a few things out on the golf..

**max_boost** · 02-06-2003, 01:50 AM

Maranello's has installed two full bodykits for me now.....they take a little longer than your regular bodyshop so if you don't mind waiting.....their work is simply amazing......my jaws completely dropped when I picked up my car

**VWhooligan** · 02-06-2003, 02:14 PM

nice.. ill definately go see what they can do for me

**EternalRage** · 02-12-2003, 01:33 PM
