Anyone Know of a Good Body Shop?
I'm looking for a body shop to repaint my rear mud guards in CR and maybe my rear wing as well. Anyone know of a good and cheap place?

I went to BMC Auto Collision Inc. when I repaint my RX-7 front and rear mud guards.... also my RX-8 rear bumper... BMC Auto is a body shop that appointed by Avante Mazda. Its near HW7 / Dufferin.... You can contact Fred Cutone (The boss there), and get a quote first.
140 Bradwick Dr, Unit 20-21
L4K 1K8
Tel: 905-660-0848
When they repaint my RX-7 mud guards, it's around $120 total... ($30 each, perhaps)

@TheWulf: yeah i realize; as is the case with most other things. But i'm just looking for a place that can offer a reasonable price and can do a better job than I can at home in my garage. My brother and I tried to repaint the spoiler earlier, but didn't turn out that nice.
Checked Bayview Steeles Auto Collision, and they quoted me $130 for the mud guards and a total of $255 if i wanted to re-do my spoiler as well. A bit more than I expected, at this rate I might have to just paint the mud guards myself.
I'll check out MS Auto and BMC Auto Collision later.
Thanks for the input guys!!

Tell them, you got sent there by me, that just got his car picked up there yesterday, the job was excellent and got recommended to come here and then ask if they can do a little better on the price...
If they won't budge, that's okay, just thank them for their time, and continue getting quotes elsewhere.
They returned the car to me:
- car washed
- INTERIOR DETAILED (vacuumed and wiped).. I can smell whatever cherry cleaner they were using.
- Tires shined.
Come on, WHIP OUT THE ASIAN SIDE IN YOU!!! Bargain!

My uncle runs a body shop in Vaughan right by Vaughan Mills Mall. its called "Vaughan Fine Touch Auto Collision". They do excellent work, and have already repainted my entire front end, aero kit and trunk (wanted to shave the rx8 and mazda badges. They also refinished my wheels (i had them painted to look like the Infiniti G35 wheel color) and also painted some of my brake components. (dust shields, rotors and calipers)
Check out the photo gallery on their site www.vaughanfinetouch.com
My 8 should be in their as well.
I doubt that they will be the cheapest but you will get top notch work guaranteed

Let them know Mike Aguiar recommended you. Ask for Jonathan, he's my cousin. I can't promise you anything on price but I can tell you that you will be happy with their work.
When it comes to this stuff it really is "you get what you pay for". I'm not saying that they are going to be overly expensive by any means, but they will be more expensive than some of the mainstream shops in some cases.
While my car was in there they had a few 911's, two Ferraris and a Bently GT getting work done. Their painter Frank Gibson has been working on cars like this for over 20 years.
