On Chester Pike in Prospect Park, you have Finish Line Collision. A lot of us Celicas go there. The owners name is Charlie and he is the man. Tell him
you know Tom Dixon with the DArk Blue celi or Eric Bungo.

I am very very very down with AutoEffex in Carlisle, Pa. Definitely look them up. Eric, the business guy will cut you prices below retail and the customer service is outstanding. Give them a call at 717.258.9272 and ask for Eric. Tell him "J" McCormick recommended them and he will hook you up. the owner, Kevin "Revvin" Schrodder is also real cool (even though he drags Civics). Anyway, give those guys a call, you won't regret it. I drive 2 hours from Va. to hang with those boys and I get all of my parts from them. Enjoy.

[Tom D]

Thats over 3 hrs away for him.

PAred GTS,

My car is at Finish Line right now (until Friday) for a Kaminari. Charlie Pitts is the man. Here's his number...610-522-1012. They're on Chester Pike (rt 13). My name is Rich "Will" Williams with a '00 Celica GTS for a "Charlie" reference. I've seen their work. They're good...and they do a ton a Celica's, many from this site. Charlie may soon get tired of dealing with Celicas since many Main Line Porsche's and BMW's they work on are cooler to work with and better for the place's bottom line.

as everyone else recommended, go to Finishline Collision. they're probably one of the best body shops in the area. (Don Rosen Porsche uses them as theyre dealer body shop). I've had my car repainted there, Willywonka, Tom D, no clue who else but I do know there are more. Talk to Charlie he's the man. Finishline is not the cheapest place to go, but you deffinately get what you pay for and they WILL stand behind they're products. Tell him Eric Bungo, Tom Dixon, or Will Williams sent you. my car was one of the first celica's they ever worked on but obviously now they know what they're doing.

P.S. Oh and Tom, call me once in a while I dont have your new number, we miss ya!!!

[PARed GTS]

Thanxs everyone for your help.......

Im going next week to talk to charlie at finishline,its seems to be my best bet....

Pa,and tom,what are your thoughts on which bodykit i should get,the Kam or veilside?

I really really like the veilside,because it is more radical then the Kam kit but it cost major $$$ And the Kam kit,everone has it... Ummm gotta make up my mind soon....

well thanxs everybody....I'll let you no which kit i choose...

[WillyWonka]

PACelicaGTS,

When I dropped the car off on Monday, Charlie mentioned you were just talking to him. Are you setting up the Cooper S with a kit?

[PaCelicaGTS]

naah i was just stopping in to see how everything was. the kit thats for the Mini is coming on the mini so theres no painting involved.

[WillyWonka]

That's very cool. I've been reading up on the S. That's going to be one cool set of wheels. In a group of cars, it will surely draw attention. I'm excited to see the car when its ready.

[PaCelicaGTS]

you'll see it soon enough, I just need someone to buy my damn coilovers and wheels, other than that everything else on the celica is sold.

[WillyWonka]

How much for the coilovers? Just curious. Money is slim now.

[PaCelicaGTS]

the coilovers? I'm looking to get 1500 for them theyre worth more only b/c they were on the car a short period of time.

[WillyWonka]

Yep, as I figured, the price is out of range. BTW, the TRD springs are great. Occasionally, I'll get a squeak from the right front when hitting a quick dip at, let's say, 30+ mph. That's the only bother. BTW, my ear is to the ground at work as well ;) .

[xangrystylex]

how about Bobby V's autobody in trenton. My friends dad owns it and he is one of the best body shops around. he fixed my aunts car after she got almost totaled and you couldnt even tell she was in an accident. he is also more affordable than finish line.
