I bought a body kit , fenders and a carbon fiber hood from http://www.raceonusa.com for my Nissan 240SX VERT.. this is going to look sick, but I need a good / cheap body shop to install this stuff in southern California! I'm thinking of a dark red pearl maroon color... House of Kolours.

i agree. the worst thing you can do is to go to maaco and pay some schmuck to just spay a couple of coats... just do your research and save up for a really good job... you will NOT regret it. you can clearly tell the difference between a cheap job and good quality to say the least... dont rush and you'll get your money's worth.

all body kits need fitment, before installin, they will never sit flush, you have to spend some time on them, i would sugest to put them in your car first, then take it to the body shop to get painted.house of kolor paint it is not cheap be ready to drop 2000 if you have a hook up,on my car i took everything apart, prep it, give it to the painter to get it painted, and i put it together.

cool, I will wait then.. Doesn't make sense to get a non pearl regular paint job when I can wait another month or 2 and get something I really like.. I will wait... thanks for the advise
