^^^of course the match would be the same. why would it be different just because he's my cousin. I just said that he's my cousin as a FYI. That way you can call him up for more additional info.

anyone know a place that does "ghosting" - painting with transparent paint? example would be ghost flames on a hot rod?

Help Plz

Okay, after christmas of 2006, my G got side swiped by a 18wheeler on the 91E to the 710N fwy interchange.

I took it to Marco's Auto Body and they had suggested that my car is totalled since Marco's estimate came out to around $22K. The insurance adjustor gave a $14K estimate, which is a huge difference from Marco's estimate, which I believe is the amount my G deserves to be fixed, if it will be fixed.

Then, took it to MOB Works and they were trying to fix it based on the adjustor's estimate... They haven't even made an estimate and they were waiting to get the payment to start on the car... the car has been sitting for 2 months now and it's super filthy.

I was thinking of sending it to Anaheim Hills body shop, so they could give me an estimate, so I may show my insurance that the car is either totalled or that it will cost more than they expected.

I loved my experience and Marco's and I'm bummed my G won't be fixed there... so I was wondering if any1 knew of any reputable body shops who does good work on extensive door, fender, quarter panel, frame damages...

Would Anaheim Hills be a good choice or should I send it somewhere else?? Please let me know, help me, because it's been soooo long and I miss my G....

Thanks Cali ppl!

***This is a note to EVERYONE... whether you drive a G or not..
STAY FAR FAR AWAY from CHAFFEY AUTO BODY IN MONROVIA!!!!***


Metro infiniti in Monrovia referred me on 06/30/06 to Chaffey Auto Body as being their contracted shop that they do repairs with. So, thinking they would know what they what they're doing (and in a timely manner) I took my G there on July 1st, 2006 for some rear end damage. They left my car to sit and rot in the sun and the Earthly elements (dirt, dust, moisture, HOT HOT SUN) until the first week of August with missing fenders and WINDOWS!!! I paid a surprise visit to see their progress early August to find my car covered in a month of dust and dirt, inside and out! I was pissed. After they had it for 45 days, I picked up my G and been having mechanical issues with it since that weren't even related to my repairs (e.g. transmission, brakes). My car was mechanically fine when I took it in; just needed remove and replace of the rear bumper that got hit.

Once again, stay FAR FAR away from Chaffey Auto Body!!

Wish I would have followed my gut instincts and gone to Marcos Auto Body instead!!

Haha, glad I read this post. I just took my car into chaffey for an estimate yesterday. Was set on using them too since Metro Infiniti referred them.

A friend of a friend knows the owner of Auto Network but someone mentioned they sucked? I don't need mechanical work, just paint. Any other reviews?
