Marcos is really good. But I don't know if they are familiar with aftermarket kits and fiberglass and such. I know they are top notch for OEM repair though.

I don't have any of their info. They are located in San Gabriel. On Las Tunas, like 1 block west of San Gabriel Blvd. Across the street from KFC. Where are you coming from, I can give you directions?

I had to bring the car back for touch ups, and there were dicks! I made an appointment with them to do the touch ups, so I go and drop off my car and the owner happend to be out at the time. I get a call from him later and he was all throwing a hissy fit! He was pissed because I dropped off my car and I never called him to remind him that I made an appointment with him! WTF kind of business is that???... where you have to call to remind them you made an appointment?!?!?! So I tell him I'll pick up my car at 6:00, and if he has to go, then to leave my car out and I'll bring it back next week. I stop by at 6:00 and my car is locked in the garage! They're still open, but the owner left with the garage keys, and I cant get my car out! I get a hold of the owner, and he said that he forgot to keep my car out, and that he doesnt want to come back to open the garage for me! I had to get another ride back during the weekend to get my car back!!!! They finally did the touch ups the following week. 1,000 miles later, my entire front bumper is riddled with rock chips. I've used Krylon spray cans on a front lip back in the day... and that paint job held up better! Stupid POS people made me waste so much time and money... now I have to get it all repainted again!

Sorry, but I had to vent! lol

I'm planning on going to M1. My friend goes there to get all his work done, so they're friends. He's going to go back in to have some damages fixed... and once he rekindles (spelling) his friendship, I'll swing by after and have my front bumper re-painted, and have them do a custom clear bra.

You guys say there are mixed reviews. Whats the bad stuff about M1?

OK yeah, my friends that are part of a team are bringing like 5 cars this week. So I'm gonna roll with them. I need my MR2 painted, full paint job, and I need my kit painted on the G. Might just paint the whole car also. If you guys wanna roll with me/us it might be cheaper for everyone.

Give me a call Mike, Ben. Both of you have my number.
