let me know how it looks after a few months...rock chips and all...i went through the same thing. not worth it when you can get professional paint for around $60 and it also looks 10X better

are they that bad? Someone recommended me to them and they offered a pretty decent price. The first time the paint turned out nice except for the match. They said that it's "computerized." So the 2nd time I gave them my nismo diffuser to match with.. hopefully they wont have any problems.. they have really good customer service though.

when i had it on before i had maybe 1 or 2 tiny rock chips after about 4 months.....no biggie. put a clear coat and you should be better off. now its just another 5 dollar mod to re-paint it.

I can only speak from experience. I got their name from another thread asking for body shop referrals in O.C. I've only had my grille painted there. Miguel was very friendly and pricing was very reasonable. I would definitely go there again. They've done some work that has appeared in magazines (check their website).
