You talking like santa clara/san jose...

cause if you are....go to creative kustoms man.

They did my side skirts, mirrors and the entire left side of my car pretty much. Great people and they do some of the best work I've seen around. First time I've been to a body shop that can actually match colors..haa.

They did about 30 sets of the board side skirts and they did Fryrice's car too. Great job.

Talk to em...tell em your from i-club.

My car is going in for a little detail touch up and a small bit of extra stuff getting painted. Love those guys.

Other shop to consider is masters. I haven't seen much of their work myself yet but they just did a crap load of side skirts for the board for $50 each. I hear they are pretty good. hayward though I think?

check the side skirts thread for my name or you can check out my gallery if you want to see how they did on my car.

In the south bay, I would recomend the Kuykendalls auto body. They just recently did my car and it's perfect. They have done work for an STI and some other WRX's along with some porsches, trans ams, and some very very nice muscle cars. They are located in Sunnyvale on the corner of Mary and Evelyn, next to 711.

i'd avoid M2 (in fremont anyways) - they're a huge chain and they really cut corners when fixing my civic that was rear ended. I had to get the CA bureau of automotive repairs to verify it was a poor job. The original repair took them 4 days whereas it took them 3 weeks to actually do it right the second time

My wrx is at CAR MAT in santa cruz right now getting the hood repainted (warranty work) - I'm picking it up today - I'll post the results
