South Bay body shop recommendation: Creative Kustoms

Just car the rear bumper of the G35 re-repainted by George's shop- Creative Kustoms in San Jose. I (and other friends in other car clubs- Audi, Subaru) have gone there with excellent results. George also installs custom body kits, spoilers, etc. and will work to get your particular kit to fit just right, or he won't install it. www.creativekustoms.com Tell him, Patrick sent ya.

Creative Kustoms
1794 Angela Street
San Jose, CA 95125
408-279-4755

Before (work initially done by Exclusive Auto Center in San Jose- highly NOT recommended as they have problems matching the red tones.) :


After George of Creative Kustoms re-repainted the bumper:

Picture #1 shows the POOR paint quality matching of EXCLUSIVE AUTO CENTER....

Picture #2 shows how CREATIVE KUSTOMS repainted the bumper the way it should have orignally been done.

Think the rear repaint was $450? Give C.K. a call and his wife Elizabeth will be able to give you price quotes. I had other painting done there, so I don't know what the bumper painting cost alone would cost. George does quality work and stands by anything that leaves his shop. I'd go to him to have any paint, bodywork, or custom kits installed.

Located right next to DynoSpot Racing, so if you want to get your car dyno'd after it has been painted...

It's good to know a reliable bodyshop in the bay area.
BTW, the paint job came out great.

Thanks for the compliment. George has worked on a lot of show cars and has years of experience. He won't let anything leave his shop that he wouldn't be happy about having his name associated with. Definately a good, down to earth guy. Deals well with insurance companies, in case you guys get into any accidents- then you can replace the OEM stuff with aftermarket goodies.
