Yeah, I have finally saved up enough money for my Blitz body kit, and I have no intentions of installing the kit myself for fear of messing something up. I was wondering if some of you in the Orlando area could give me some names of reputable body shops in the area that you have had good experiences with. Nothing but the best will do for my baby! If anyone needs to know what I am going to need done, the installation will require the installation of a front and back bumper, then the molding of a pair of sideskirts. They will also need to be painted.

What do you mean by that jotan82? I don't quite follow you. As for the quality of the kit, I have heard nothing but the best about the quality of the Blitz kit from importfan.com.

By the way jotan, I did a search of the things you have said about the kit and I understand what you mean now I think. I know the kit isn't made by Blitz and that it is just a Blitz style kit. I am getting it from www.importfan.com and I have heard nothing but good things from them, so I guess it's worth a shot as far as fitment goes.

just making sure because i just did one and the quality and the fit were not so good not sure where it was purchased from but some of the pieces did not line up too good, try to avoid knock off kits.....but anyways if you need the paint and install i can do it....

y2k do you work for a body shop and could you show me pictures of previous work you have done? Sorry, I know it is a pain, but I need to make sure what I do to my car is nothing but the best, a straight body is important to me.

Oh, he did your kit? Great. Did you get your kit from importfan.com? If so, how was the fitment. Anyways, thanks for the info, seeing that he did your kit helps a lot since it looks great.

Shawn, when you see this, send me a pm and we could talk estimates and such. I should be getting my kit sometime within the next week, as for how long it will take to get here, I have no clue.

yup, quality of $$$

if you get a sh*ty kit for a good price... you'll make up for it at the body shop, when they sand and glass it to make it fit properly...

Well, jotan, I somehow doubt the fitment of this kit is going to be horrible, seeing how I am going to pay a little over $1k for just the kit. At least let's hope the quality is good. :)
