Thread: Best LA area paint & body

  1. #1

    Question Best LA area paint & body

    Opinions as to who does the best paint/body for early 911's around Los Angeles area and could the body shop lower the suspension as well

    I think you'd be best off going to a place like TRE to have the suspension lowered and then taking it to a body shop like Innovations Design (Kevin) or Brace afterward. Each is a specialist in their fields.

    Be sure to have the suspension done first because depending on what tires you're using a little fender rolling may be needed for clearance.

    I've always considered the glass to be half full...that is until I reached middle age and realized that it is actually half empty.

    ignacios coachworks is very good. while i have not had work done by them (im in ohio after all), i have seen many cars they have done full down to bare metal paint jobs on, and their work is outstanding, and they use glassurit paint, so the color will be dead on accurate for original color.

    as far as alignment shops, many i know speak fondly of johnsons alignment in torence. then again, if i was in la la land, i would consider tre as well as many other outstanding shops in the area.
