Recommended body/paint shop - SoCal - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So, I'm scheduled to pick up my hood from RKsport on Friday, but I haven't found a body shop that provides high quality service at a reasonable price. Due the fact that the car is SWP, they will need to blend into the fenders. I've been quoted as high as 1500USD, but I'd hope to find something for 1/3rd that much, considering the fact that I also need to get it Clear Bra'd and OptiGuarded.

Any suggestions in the SoCal area?

When I was working at the dealer we had a body shop we dealt with. I used them to fix the clear coat on the carbon fiber wing on my Evo. They did pretty good work. Maybe you can check them out? It was Pride Auto Body. If you go to or call the small office inside Center BMW and talk to Mike he can probably help you out. Tell him AJ sent you.

Wetworks Garage is the best for custom work and Fountain Valley bodyworks for OEM. I've had my cars at both.
