smacked my G tonite

G-squad members I need your help. I smacked my prized possesion tonight!
:0(

Luckily I am ok and the damages are not too great...3k or so. Anyway can someone please recommend a good body shop in the Tri-state area that specializes in the G35? (I live in NJ btw) I need to have my front and rear quater panels fixed and repainted. My concern is that it look as close to factory as possible. Any good leads?

Thanks :0(

How was their work? Were they able to match the paint as close as possible? I am worried now that the car will look like it was painted.

Richmond View Auto Collision on Staten Island... my G has been there 3 weeks... they take their time but their work is flawless, and they do a lot of high end cars... stopped in there yesterday and they were working on around 20 cars, including my car, a Rolls Royce, and 2 $$$ benzes, an S500 and a CL. he told me it is taking so long b/c of parts availability (or lack thereof).

ps - this is what my car looked like before they got it... as you can see, this is a difficult job, and i totally trust that they will do it perfect

Wow man sorry to see your car like that. If you are anything like me then it must have hurt a lot. Anyway, if you could post some pics of your car after they get done painting it, I'd apprecaite it.

Good luck.

Try this place

My G was sideswiped a couple months ago on the driver's side. Took it to a place that does only luxury cars, show cars, and super cars (a number of Ferraris and a Lamborghini being worked on when I was there). The place is called Karosserie (they are on the Web) in King of Prussia, PA. A close friend of mine has known the owner for years so that's how I knew where to take it. Mine was the first G they had ever done (they do tons of BMWs, Mercedes in addition to the really special cars). They did an incredible job with lots of TLC because they are total fanatics--and they appreciate people who take care of their cars.

Whole side from front door on back was redone. No one can tell it was damanged or repainted. They said they really gained an appreciation of the G35 while mine was there; another one came in for bodywork as they were finishing mine.

I highly recommend them.
