Man hate to see a fellow 4th gen get whacked like that. To have it done right will cost you some coin, but it will be mint in the end. Most people here have seen my paint job. It wasnt cheep, but looks unbelievable. I went to Rte 28 Collison in West Bridgewater Ma. Good people over there too. Good luck man, hope it works out for ya.

Yea im in RI. I live in warren but the cars in west warwick coventry line. That's what i need because i cant go through insurance and i would pay out of pocket. BTW does anybody know where bodyshops order their parts from because im getting different prices for the body parts i know i need.

i looked through Gm dealership parts and ecklers camaro and they were both outrageously expensive. I hope i dont have to pay that much since i found those same parts on different websites alot cheaper.

look at Keystone or Certifit. but if your bringing it to a shop let him get the parts. there might be alot more shit under there fucked up that you wont get and hes gunna have to get parts for you anyway. in the end you wont save that much by bringing your own shit unless thats what your uncles buddy is telling you to do? your gunna need lower rad support and shit too im guessing sence you sed your rad was leaking? id personally just rather drop it off and he can tell me what it needs wen he ripps it apart.

idk about all places but i know a lot of places get parts from Keystone..im sure if you started collecting some of the parts and bring them to the body shop with the car they wont have much of a problem with that..

i dunno to me thats like bringing a steak to a restaurant and saying cook it. you'll get a better price over all if you have them get the mark up on the parts. Keystone and Certifit charge a shop less and he marks it up to the same or maybe a little more then you going there and buying it. AND the guy cant pull the WELL YOU SUPPLYED THE PARTS bullshit.

yea thats true..if the shop buys everything and it isnt as clean as you want it thats all them rather then if they used parts that are just given to them they may try to blame the parts

yeah. thats one thing i dont fuck with is a body guy. they can cut some serious corners you wont see for years or months and then your pretty much screwed wen your shit starts rotting out. my buddy had a Deal on his rear quarter install. and the guy used trim adhesives to hold all the mounting tabs on for the rear plastic panels and spare tires bracket. YESSS TRIM YELLOW ASSHOLE ADHESIVE haha ever sence then ive never once asked for a price at a body shop just sed do it and ill be back wen its done.
