Default Los Angeles Re-Spray and deletion options

With delivery of of my new Turbo R SLOWLY approaching, I'm starting to plan for my respray and anything else I would do at the time. Any recommendations in the LA area for the body work and paint? It really needs to be top notch!

Now the fun stuff... I'm definitely going to delete the washer nipples, and I'm debating deleting the sunroof as well. My previous TT had the sunroof delete from the factory and I loved it. Pretty sure at this point it's customized enough to not lose any resale, but???

So what to do? Am I missing anything else???

If you're going to delete sunroof, get rid of gutters at the same time. I would love to lose the rain gutters but can't afford it. If you do, make sure they have alot of experience doing them. Really clean look but very hard to get done right.

Nope, taking delivery of Mickfluff's RUF Turbo R hopefully this week. My old TT had been chopped up by LA dismantlers and sold not too long ago. They swapped out the hardbacks, seat belts, wheels, and silver gauges with crap and charged top dollar... not going to lie, that hurt me a little.

OverBoosted28- gutters were already done a few owners ago, so thats a big +, still debating the sunroof, but wither way, need a good paint/body shop.

Ill check out Premier shortly... any others?

Thanks everyone!

I had already mentioned Ed Palmer (EPR) in Camarillo. They did all the body/paint work on Waldo and Rufus, and really know their 993s. They also did Scott Mellor's GT-2 conversion. Top Notch. Highly, highly recommended. Again.

Thanks Steve, I have them on my list as well. Want to have at least 3 to choose from. Got to keep everyone honest around these parts.

Please note that Ed Palmer no longer owns EPR. He is at Kudensport also in Camarillo. PM me if you can't find a phone number for them etc. He also does great work. He Resprayed my front bumper when I did the bumperette deletes.
