I have a hookup
They do a good amount of body work...
Get lotta paint jobs..
I've seen S550S there...

--BUT

he is a friend..and I know he does a ****** job...lol...really crappy materials...

--BUT

he would probably do a whole car for me for 1000 :-)

so its whats in your budget...and what you feel is worth it...if u think 2200 gets u bang for your buck do it...

But dont get stuck with a low end 1000 dollar job my friend would to and complain a couple of yrs down the line...do your research..all the shops are eager for your business and money!
