Anyone have a recommendation for a shop that does custom jobs like this? My local shop didnt want to touch it. Im in Santa Rosa, willing to head down to the bay if needed.

 

I have heard good things about these guys, but haven't used them myself.

Cool, I will check them out. Thanks for the heads up.

 

If anyone else has recommendations further North I would be interested.

 

I had a horrible experience with them couple years ago.

 

Please do not elaborate or share that experience.... (sarcasm). What happened?

 

I can't speak for the Karlton Flares, but I've seen a few sets of Flares The Michael & Co did and was very impressed

I can do it but I'm all the way in Sacramento. Installed flares on 3 WRXs and Forester.

 

As I said, happened couple years ago so I'm not sure if they cleaned up their act since then.

Short story is I had front end resprayed after an accident and massive orange peel all over, drips everywhere, and did not color match at all. They also went through my stuff in my car and stole stuff I had in the car.

 

Have you tried Image Auto Body in SF?

 

Reviews look mostly good. What can you say about them?

I need to get some work done too.

 

Hmm, that is tempting. Do you have any pics of the finished work?

 

I can say they worked on Ben's (twelveam) and Matt's (apetron) widebodies. Both of which look phenomenal.

I don't have any first hand experience with them though.

 

I'm kinda curious what the install cost is on these? I've been lamenting how small the tires on my 2004 STI look lately

 

Awesome - thank you for circling back with this info. I have seen Matt's car and it looked amazing to me. Really appreciate it.

I am looking to have some basic stuff done, but, I grew up around body work and would rather have a dent than bad body/paint work.
