Recommended Body Shop in Bay Area

Can anyone recommend a body shop in the San Francisco, South San Francisco, San Mateo area. I just got the Tsunami body kit and I'm looking to get it painted and installed in three to four weeks.

haha... i just bought the tsunami kit too

I took mine to a shop called "Premier Auto-body" here in Sacramento.

Its in the shop right now, I just dropped it off today. They seem to be on top of their game quality wise and materials.

I was quoted $900 for paint and install...

but that includes prepping my CF hood and paint for that too.

nice choice on Kit.

yeah i was rather surprised.

They are going to sand my hood down and refinish it. Plus its being installed with rivets vs. screws which i like.

Sacramento is a long drive for me to drop off a car and kit to get painted and installed. I talked to Auggie from Tsunami and the only shops he could recommend were in Sac.

Post pictures when your kit is installed.

well, after dealing with these guys. I have to say that I'm teetering on whether i'd recommend them again. They did give me a good deal, but I did have to press them for a deadline and take time off work to go there in person... so that i could tell them to get it done.

quality wise... they did a fair job... wasn't perfect, but shops can only do so much to aftermarket kits.


If you want more information about Premier Auto Body Center... PM me and i'll give the details... pricing... and address/phone.
