Batmobile Got Botox Treatment

so as many of you know my front end on my car needed ALOT of love and I appreciate everyone not bringing it up everytime I posted a pic of the car when displaying headlight mods or whatever. I had 3 huge cracks dead center in front of the radiator support like someone backed into me, and rock chips galore across the whole front as well as a couple of the mounting points being broken or the holes cracked in half rendering them useless. My hood was SUPPOSED to be carbon fiber but the Florida sun baked the hell out of the clearcoat and made it look more like snake skin than carbon fiber

Well I drove my car to Maine on Friday night and dropped off the batmobile to PPGFREAK and left it in his care for the weekend. I got a call on Sunday afternoon telling me it was done and I could come get it that evening

PPGFREAK does amazing work and is the only person I'll let touch my car for any kind of body or paint work. Anyone that lives in the New England area close enough to Portland Maine would do well to seek him and out for any of your paint or bodywork needs

Thanks again Corey!!!

Thanks Corey does simply incredible work, he rebuilt my sideskirts for me due to a dealership (which will remain unnamed) putting the car on a lift by the sideskirts and tried to say it wasn't their fault

Upon close inspection of the front bumper after getting it back from Corey there isn't a single indication that the bumper had ever been worked on. It looks like its brand new out of the box. I know from memory exactly where the cracks and chips were and even running my fingers over those places there isn't a clue or indication he even worked on it at all

Corey is very meticulous in his work. As amazing as my car came out he sat there bitching for like 10 minutes about how he wanted to do this and that to it to make it look better before giving it back but he was on a tight time frame to get the work done.

He's one of those rare people that loves his job and it shows in the quality of the work he does for his customers which is exactly why I won't hesitate to drive the 2.5hrs again to have my wheels done and have my aerocatch locking hood pins put in, in the not so distant future

^You might lol "O HELLA OEM" but it would be worth the road trip and hotel for the weekend

I work at a new car dealer so I see a lot of the same people come back in when they need work done. I have had people on vacation in Florida,NY and all over have there cars shipped back to us so no one else fixes/paints there car. The Insurance company hates paying the bill but you have the right to get your car fixed any were you want
