Tony don't go to MOBworks. The job they did on my friends lip was really bad. Good thing he doesn't car since it's going to get ripped apart anyways.

If you need give me a call and I'll talk to PJ personally for you.

MOBworks, just OK quality IMO. They do SUPERB jobs, on show cars, or cars that will have exposure, Or you are really good friends with the owner.

Looking for a body shop myself. reamemiya, I tempted to visit PJ to do some work on my car. Well, more like repair work. Hook up?

Had them repair both bumpers and re-shoot the front hood while they were at it (rock chips and bird bombs, etc) and all 3 pieces came out great for just under $1k. The pieces actually turned out better than factory because there was absolutely no orange-peel, runs, or anything.
