Having my front bumper painted there, picking it up tomorrow. Check with the OP to see if he can still get the hook ups. So far service has been great, but I'll know more when I pick up the car tomorrow.

I'll try and remember to report back...feel free to pm me if I forget.

Auto Explosion in Gardena does excellent work. They do work for SoCal's top show cars and shops and they've done a few of my friend's cars.

I've been going to AE for a few years as well. They do great work. Like @Ro_Ja said, many top show cars and well known shops have gotten their custom works done there.

One of my absolute all time favorites, Viet Nguyen's custom widebody, Cosworth tuned, and twin turbo FX35.



And that red widebody G35 coupe next to it (owned by Dallas Tung) also got work done by AE as well.

Got my car back from M1 Auto Body in El Monte on Wednesday (I've been lagging, sorry). Here are the before and after shots. I am most pleased! It even has a sprayed on clear bra that's basically an extra and more durable clear coat.

Even got free stickers that look surprisingly good!
