well some people have told me to goto "complete auto body" an i have been up there..they got some real nice cars but i have heard they dont really care about the "small" jobs only the big ones.


EDIT: oh yeah...i forgot to add, for some reason new image will not warranty their paint on fiberglass or urethane. thats pretty shady which is another reason why im looking for another shop

i've been to new image and got my front bumper done there. i don't think they did a good job cuz my paint started to chip after a couple of months and my friend also had some issues with them so i would suggest another shop.

i dont know about any shops in arlington but if you dont mind driving an hour down to rockwall, go to lakeside chevrolet. they have been rated as one of the best shops in dfw and maybe even texas. wish i could tell you some good shops in your area but i dont make it out there very often.

Do not go to new image... do you plan to do a full change over or just get a kit painted? If you plan to do a full change over, the only two shops I would trust would be New Concept or Complete.

I honestly think it's just to be expected for the front bumper to always chip. Mine looks like hell! I saw someone with a silver civic out in arlington today right around kennedale with the complete bottom paint peeled/chipped right off. I'm not sure though what to expect. It can't be normal to have to have your bumper repainted once a year. what kinda warranty is there? i need to get mine repainted as well! Let me know if you find a good place. GOOD LUCK!!!
