So, on Monday a lady in a toyota sienna backed into my top secret bumper. Damages aren't bad, just big time scuffed and got some of the lower right headlight. Also, she shoved the bumper in quite a bit. But anyway, insurance is still going on, and I want to know where I should go to paint. I know Marcos is GREAT, but that's GREAT on stock cars. Also I was thinking MOBS but the experience varies. People have had great experiences and some not so fortunate. I was wondering what I should do. Insurance is going to take a bit because I think she's trying to blame the fault on me but, I about 100% sure it's not going to be her way. Also I refuse to drive my car until it is fixed =(. I guess riding in the GF's 335i isn't going to be too bad haha but still... I want my car back asap, so I can get a detail from someone on the boards. Let me know your experiences and stuff and if you recommend some place else, keep it mind I am going to need feedback on them doing aftermarket fitting. Pricey places don't matter because insurance will / should cover it.

 

she got a 335? damn !!!!!!!!!!!!11 sorry about your car..i think u should just get a new bumper

 

yea she did, and the paddle shifters are FUN haha.. damn that cars a beast... she bags on me all the time =(... but i just like our cars too much.. but yea... I WOULD GET A NEW BUMPER IF SOMEONE TOLD ME THEY WERE SELLING THEIR KURUMA....

 

dont wanna go back to eric's shop? i would not bring any aftermarket parts to MARCOS

 

Capital Import across the street from the old sprewell does amazing work but little pricey, if insurance is paying for it then it doesnt really matter heh.

 

Marco's isn't that great. My friend's front bumper on his Acura CL was repaired there and they did a bad job on realigning everything along with clear overspray on his headlights.

 

I don't mind going back there it's just that I know he's always busy, and I want one person to do the work, but he is always tied up, so I can't get him lol.

can Capital Imports handle after market?

 

Marco's did an excellent job on my coupe but lazeeass is right, don't bring aftermarket parts to them. They don't have a clue to parts other than OEM.

 

I thought that too, alright I guess I'll just have to risk it somewhere else unless someone can point me in the right direction. I hate driving around with a giant white scrape on my front bumper =(.

MOBS any good? I'm on the s2ki forums and some praise them some had bad experiences. I know it all varies but it's a drive for me and I hope it doesn't turn out bad.

 

what materials are you trying to get painted? ive had urethane, abs plastic, and fiberglass all painted there.


Last thing we had painted there. (front bumper in fg)

 

Its poly but its already painted so re-prep wont be as hard.

yeah the shop I go through is pretty busy some parts are pending up to 2 weeks to get painted =\

Don't take your car to the marco's on fair oaks. They replaced my sport bumper with a non sport and took them 1 month to finally admit that they put on the wrong one on and get the right one.

I had to harass the guy everyday and got the same run around till my insurance company called. Supposedly the one in Arcadia is better.

 

Do not go to marcos if it aint stock....trust me!

 

marcos is good, but yeah, +1 on stock only

 

I think I decided to go through another shop, the one I originally done stuff at, but I just have to wait because insurance is being a PITA and the dumb lady told a different story and this crap is going to be dragged out for a long long long long time... I know it and this sucks because I want my car back to normal. Blahs... MAD MOMS IN MINI VANS FTL. I want to buff it out myself too but I'm worry either side adjusters might want another look even after pictures etc.
