Lots of people own autobody places but I doubt they will give you a discount.

[RATTGT]

What are u gonna get done..like painted greg?...discount or not..u should go to Bodyworks Unlimited in east Longmeadow( it IS expensive, but everything they do, custom paintjobs..airbrushing, etc..is totally worth it)...they cant be beat (well Oliver's is good too)

[speedeeGTS]

greg, just do what i said. thats going to be your best bet. i just wouldnt trust the shop that you went to before.

[SilverBullet GTS]

I need a good paint shop too.

What happened to your car?

[silverCELICAgt-s]

haha... i was waitin for someone to respond......... ok so i got back home from ohio tonight and i was gonna go drive around the corner to where i work to get my work schedule. Well it just so happened that my older sister was home and her all black pathfinder with black windows was parked in the driveway. Remember this is night time... its dark. So anyways i start to back out of the garage with my car and then CRUNCH.......i was like OH SHIATTTTTTTTTTTTT. But it ended up nothin much. No damage to her car/beast and minor to mine... there r now wrinkle like marks in my rear bumpers paint... will eventually peel... so im gonna go friday to a autobody to check out the cost of what it would be for the bumper to get repainted.........again...........

Oh ya and matt... that place i told u about that did it before... before they ever did it... my bumpers paint got the same way when my car got rear-ended so i guess its just how either the car or the paint is now adays. Also, my dad's friend who owns a dealership... that place where i got my rear bumper painted before is where he sends any damaged cars on his lot to to get body work or painting done.

Everytime my car has gotten hit, including the dents and scrapes. I was never driving it, lete alone any where near the car. :( The last time it was hit was when my dad was driving it, the day my CAI was installed. Got backed into by an SUV when he was looking for a parking spot. It was also the last time my dad drove it. :gap: :(

Yeah it cost a lot to fix, 3 G's for each side. Professional shop, they also color matched my console and other misc. interior parts. Can't tell it was ever hit, Thank God.

Ummm should I even ask why your friend had, of all things, a concrete block hovering over your hood. I remember the baby blue 5th gen you had. :)

[lowendfrequency]

I know a shop in Binghamton that does killer paintowork, but expect to pay good $$$ for quality work. That's where I got my full paintjob done at.

teh english, or teh engrish? :gap:

i'm gonna assume that word says "moving." Wow that really sucks man. I'd be hella pissed. Actually wait... I am, my hood says "Joe the Homo" on it. I love my girlfriend's mom's boyfriend (didja follow that?). Dumass is a fat bastid who thinks its funny to bust my chops for no apparent reason. :furious:

and mike, here's what the supra sidemarkers look like right now. No more tint, they're 95% back to silver/chrome as you can see.

where did u get clear supra side markers that fit the celica?

From procarparts.com, but don't even bother checking because they stopped selling them. They only carry the orange ones. They are like impossible to find now from what I've been hearing. However, I did hear that Bottle from Titan Motorsports sells them but for like 50+ :AF:. I dunno if that's true or not. But, Good luck.

[silverCELICAgt-s]

and they fit fine?

Not 100% flush like stock, but no aftermarket ones fit like stock. These fit as good as any of the other ones for the celica. Trust me, these are my third pair. :AF:

First the procarparts spider web looking one (got condensation), then the APC clears, and then the supra clears. The supra ones were the best of the three.
