If you have the money and want it done properly, then you have one choice. Cecil Beach owner of Bodystyle on Brokaw Road near the Fry's electronics. He will do a flawless job and treat you right. Sandrina his front end manager is very personable and will keep you posted as to every move. He is a multiple Porsche owner including 951 and ex-racer. He has done much work for me in the past and has always been perfect.

LOL
But in fairness, I have never had my car worked on ( as far as paint ) but Tom is a pretty big fan of Cecil....

He is a great guy! If you notice the picture of my Fabspeed install on your recent cat-back thread, was taken at Bodystyle. You can see all of the Porsche's in the background waiting for paint. Cecil was nice enough to let me "borrow" his lift on the weekend to install the exhaust.

Another item I can highly recommend at Bodystyle is his 3-M clear bra installation guy. I was shocked at how good of a job he did. You need to get down on all fours with a magnifying glass to see that it was installed. The protection for the absolutely POS bay area roads is phenomenal. It was worth every penny! It was so nice, that three people from my office went down and had their entire cars coated. Of course, they are much more rich than I and all of these cars were brand new Porsches, short of one new M5. After driving both the M5 and Panamera S, I have to say if I were to want a four door, I would take the Bimmer, V-10 is SWEET!

to the OP...are you pulling the mirrors and carrying them to the shop? Or planning to have the shop remove. I ask because I am thinking taping the mirrors off would be a big job since overspray would be hard to control painting soemthing like that.
