Default My car was resprayed by Alvin's (Atan888) body shop

I figured if it worked for Alvin ... Anyway, I can't say enough good things about United Auto Collision Center in Burlingame, CA, 1 block from Rector Porsche at Broadway and Rollins Rd (1 block off of 101). (650) 548-0954. Two blocks from a CalTrain station for those concerned about dropping off their ride to have work done. Here are some pix (and, yeah, I may revert back to black for the lower rocker strip).

Before:



After






Enthusiastic recommendation for nice guys and great workmanship.

VERY NICE! Glad you went back to the stock rockers but lower that thing!

JMHO, but it looks MUCH better with stock rockers. Beautiful!

I'm going to do the same thing with the front bumper cover when I get my car resprayed (it's got almost 100K on the odo and is black, so you can imagine how it looks) and I was curious what clear corners you used. Factory Euro ones?

Very nice!

I would vote for a new set of black plastic rocker covers - I believe they are around $80 per side.

There is something different with your mirrors - what is it?

Very nice! That car looks soooo familiar....

+1 on the black rockers. Body color matched rockers make the car look "fat" on the sides.

Love the split grill and the RS splitters!

Why on earth was there a big hole in your lower rocker panels? I can't even guess the purpose.

Beautiful car. I'm torn between the more aggressive rocker covers, and the cleaner stock look. Both look great in my opinion, especially in white.
