Local Mom n Pop spot in San Jose. 2.5 grand. 2 week turn around time. They did a great job as I am very happy with it, but if I were extremely anal could pick about 20 sections of the ride that are not perfect. Im taking it in this Friday for the corrections. But still... they told me to write down everything I see that needs fixed and will be rectified. I also only paid them 2 grand and they agreed that the additional 5 bills would be received once I am completely happy with it.

and yes the ride was a take over from my bro. (med student who is traveling the world at the moment)

That's one hell of a transformation you had there. Looks good though. I dunno what to say about the roof. It looks like you wanted to go for the carbon look, but even an M5 doesn't have that. The parking sensors look like the car has moles.

My boy said the same thing after viewing the front end in his rear view mirror when we picked up the car. He said moles or dimples, but that is def. one of the things Im having the shop or any shop fix for that matter.
