Body Kit Shop

What shop do you guys use to install and paint your body parts. I'm getting my front bumper fit and painted at Sewell Collision. They've run into some issues and I just wanted to know where you guys get quality work.

A Team 16 Niss member owns and operates his own body shop.

We also take cars to J&M Paint & Body in Dallas.

GS Motorsports is always a good place

I will be taking mine to "A Master's Touch" at Royal & 35 right near Speedzone. The owner is more **** than any human i've ever met and will paint anything you've got to perfection. Highly recommend him.

He's also a good friend, but his work speaks very highly for itself

Sewell just called, and I need to get another shop since they have no experience in putting this aftermarket piece on and it would take them twice a long to figure out how to prep it to make it fit and look perfect.

I'll be contacting the GS motorsport and J&M Paint and Body. Do these guys have experience in aftermarket bumpers, particularly the Kuruma Z? I will need a rental too, do any of these guys provide them?

Edit: How do I contact the guys at GS Motorsports. I can't find any info online.
I have the address for J&M, but no phone number.
I can't find First class body and paint either.

I like the Kuruma Z front bumper, I'll be interested to see how it looks on your G. Do you have a FMIC that will show through the bumper?

anyone got pics on this bumper? i'm curious now.

I know that Master's Touch doesn't do loaners and I don't think GS Motorsports does either.

Will they work with my aftermarket bumper though? Sewell doesn't want to do it because it would take them some time to "learn" because they don't have any experience. Honestly it didn't seem like they had to do much. There was some shaving/filing down involved, trimming the stock supports, moving/replicating the stock bumper connectors to the new one.
