Title....dont know

[Vulcan2422]

I was wondering if anybody has a bodyshop that would be able to fix my blitz bumper? It needs alot of work. It has Stress Marks in it (thats what one guy said to me) it needs to be sanded primed and painted again (spectra Blue) and The bottom of it is cracked. So that would need to be fix'd. I was quoted at around 350 to have it fixed and painted. But i just dont have that kinda money right now. Im sorta looking at like maybe 150 to 230. That i wouldnt mind spending. So does anybody in Northern NJ (Morris Area pretty much) know of a good body shop that can fix my blitz and paint it? Also would any one be willing to hook up my oil temp and water temp guages? I will cook ya dinner (bbq pretty much) and get ya some beer (if your at least 21 that is heh). ALSO does anybody in NJ or NY (Close to NJ at least since my wife hates driving to the island) Happen to have a Rear and side skirts? (blitz would be nice but just something that flows well with the blitz kit as least) If anybody has anything for sale let me know. Thanks (yah i know long message but i thought i get it all out heh) Thanks Guys

What's with the thread title? I thought this was going to be a question about the title to your car, haha.

But anyway, I dunno about shops, my car came with the kit already. You're gonna need blitz sides and rear because nothing else can match up with the height of the blitz front. I hope you don't plan on dropping your car because that front scrapes so easily at stock height. And if it's fiberglass you might as well throw it away. They make that bumper in urethane too, btw. Good luck.

[Vulcan2422]

heh. Thanks joe. =0P. Yah the front is Poly. What chris told me about urethane he said the paint doesnt really stick that good. But i bought this off a member on the boards. So i had no choice. I like the blitz but i dont like how low it is the ground. I guess ima have to change the title then eh? Good luck for what joe? finding a good body shop or with the blitz front? heh

Good luck with both, haha. Yeah, it takes some skil to paint polyurethane. Most of the times when it does stick, the paint doesn't match. Tricky little thing.

Yeah man, it's low. Do a search you'll see. Blitz sides and rear hardly match up with it too, but you dont really have much of a choice.

[Vulcan2422]

No i guess not. ::sigh:: i need a better job that pays more than 130 a week for only 19 hours heh. Hopefully i can get in at Frito lay and making the big bucks. heh

[evil eye]

[Vulcan2422]

[JCelica132]

[silverCELICAgt-s]

i have no idea on what it would cost, but gettin employee discount, i got my rear bumper/ rear skirt fixed and repainted, driver side rear quarter panel undented and repainted, center console painted, car detailed and touched up for $500.00 cash.

[evil eye]

:confused: It's not even close to 7 yet. Minimum in NY is under $6 still.

[IllicaCelica]

[evil eye]

Same body shop that did all my work...

[Vulcan2422]

jose thanks alot. i will give them a call. u think they would paint my dash as well? also no Radio. stocking chips out actually. Hell for 750 a week it aint that bad a job. Plus they get alot of over time if your new cause they give u crappy trucks that break down. so its a good paying job. my brother in law works for em for about 5 years now.

[ricogt]

they will paint anything--the do all kind of stuff--they might even paint you!--lol--seriuosly they are a good shop and do all kind of custom work

[Vulcan2422]

Cool cool. u know how much of an estimate it might cost to do my dash? or i should just call them?

[evil eye]

Yeah man, I worked at a supermarket too, the pay increase sucks. That's why I used the five finger discount religously. The way I see it, they were ripping me off, so it was only fair to do the same. Besides, no one really gave a shat so long as you left the packaging behind. They can get credit back for it.

Damn, that's almost double of what I make in one week. :wtc:

[portopotti]

yea its still under 6 right now, but in the next couple years it will reach $8...

Yeah, I think it's still $5.15 like you say. But $8??? No way. Where did you hear this.


Damn, that's almost double of what I make in one week. :wtc:

Really?? I'm not sure why, but I though you were making some decent money.

[Vulcan2422]

yah but the test's are pretty hard. i failed my first time but im much more confident this time he he.

[evil eye]

Damn, that's almost double of what I make in one week. :wtc:

That's understandable, it's the name MTV that signifies money. Only thing is that I have the title of "assistant", which means I'm at the very bottom of the food chain. Everyone above my position makes damn good money though, plus comission. :faint: Everyone's gotta start somewhere.

[ricogt]

vulcan i told them to expect ur call--there pics of my car in the gallery--u can see their work

[Vulcan2422]

ok thanks alot jose. be calling soon today.

[portopotti]

Gotcha :thumbup: A customer of mine works there and has got some serious cash. Maybe that's why I thought it was decent. He's kind of high up though.

[Vulcan2422]

ok i called today Jose. they quoted my wife for the dash painted at 600 to 800. But they dont guarantee that the glass will be safe and if it does break i have to pay for it. Interior done also was around 6 to 800 hundred. But for the bumper to be painted he said 200 for it to be fixed around 250.

[chrischiou]

I took my car to a place in Portchester NY and they did a real good job on the car.... the only problem is they're kinda expensive.........

[Vulcan2422]

yah i need a place not so expensive. plus i didnt like the whole thing about the front of the glass.

it was all over the news a few months ago...i think by 2007 it will be $8 or something like that...

[IllicaCelica]

actually now that I think of it, i think it was $7...

[portopotti]

actually now that I think of it, i think it was $7...

I'm kinda surprised, that's all. It seems kinda high, and most people aren't really in favor of minimum wage to begin with.

[IllicaCelica]

yea I think thats still what it is...

Yea I used to work at waldbaums back in the day, and I was using the 5 finger discount as well...hell you know how many times I BBQed on the Waldbaum's wallet? They were also stupid enough to be letting a 16-17 year old stock the beer section...

[evil eye]

:werd:

My friend used to work the truck late at night. You can only imagine the things that somehow "fell" off the truck. In the end, Waldbaums took care of us nicely.
