Help please.

Hey everyone,
So I am new to the forum and I drive a 2005 STI. There are two things which I must have done to the car, both of which require me taking it to a body shop. I've seen the sticky thread which lists the body shops in the area, however I would like to hear some testimonies from you guys from things you've experienced or heard about them.

The first thing which I want done is to have my car painted metallic black. My car right now is silver.

The second thing is I want that big stock spoiler removed from my car, however I've read that if you remove the spoiler it leaves 17 holes in the trunk. So I need a body shop that can fill these holes and paint match them to the rest of the car.

So can any of you guys recommend a quality body shop that can do these two things for me? Thanks everyone. Any feedback is much appreciated.

Bump.

Really??? No one on this forum has any experience whatsoever with any of the body/paint shops in the Tampa area? I find that a little hard to believe. Please, if you know anything about the surrounding shops please let me know if your experience was a good one. I HAVE read the sticky thread regarding paint/body shops, however it doesn't list anything about the actual shop. All it lists is the shop's name, address, and contact information.

Thats me. Both of those things are things that can be done at the same time. I would remove the spoiler weld up the holes and then paint it the color that you are wanting. Do you know exactly which metallic black you are wanting to paint it? If not its not a problem we can find one.

PM me to talk about this further.
