Good body shop in SoCal?
Does anybody know of any good body shops in SoCal they can recommend? I need a shop that can prep and paint a kenstyle replica bumper I just bought.

McGurdy Bodyshop in Pasadena. They do all Rusnak Audi, Mercedes, Rolls Royces, Porsche, Bentley cars.
Marco Autobody in San Gabriel. Expensive and flawless works. Show room condition. Most of the local dealership in that area goes there.
Auto Network in San Gabriel. Moderate pricing and do some show cars.
Paulee Body Shop in West LA on La Cienega. Expensive and flawless works. Do mostly celebrity cars.
That's all I've know and I recommended most of my friends to those area.
Good luck

+1 for marcos in alhambra
i got T-boned and they brought it back 99%. Flawless but expensive just like they said. acura in alhambra can't do body work
they send all body work to marcos.
its also expensive because the service is excellent.

Ok so I just got back from a body shop and they told me it would be about $1,000 bucks 
He told me it would cost this much because he'd have to do some blending with the fender or something. Is this the normal price? Mind you im only doing a front bumper body kit.

Last time i had waranty paint work done at Sierra Acura in Alhambra, Marco's ppl came by to pick it up, they freaking gassed my car like crazy!!! I purposely resetted my instrument panels and my avg mpg was 5 when I got it back!!! pissed me off. And my seat was leaned back like a gangster or something. They used 1/4 tank of gas on my car. I know this because I filled up before I gave them my car =(
They are located in Monterey Park btw. Good paint, but stupid workers.
