Looking for a custom body shop
Okay any recommendations on shops that specialize in dealing with aftermarket products, working with fiberglass, not looking for a collision place that just wants oem parts to bolt on and paint but people that are good at massaging parts to make them fit right.
Thanks,
Krystian

yeah it would be on the vette, the rear quarters need to be strengthened and probably repainted, where are you located?

I think the rear quarter panels are SMC (sheet molded compound) not fiberglass?

Actually i looked at a c6 today and they are a urethane plastic, just like the rear cover, the doors are a SMC compound, adn the front fenders adn front cover are the same material. Not too sure i would fiberglass on top of it.

@Tampa Bay Customs ---> I have an Evo VII and would like to make my stock hood look "slightly" more aggressive. I dont want to buy an entirely different hood or even change the look of the hood all together. I just want to add something that is missing... there is a small lift in front of the American Evo VIII hood vent that is NOT present on my car. Would you be able to alter it to resemble this... or do I need an entirely different hood, after all?
Attached is a close up look at my hood... it looks very plain and straight... and I wish for it to look more aggressive... can you help...?
