Paint and Detail Question???
 
Hey all, this summer I planned on getting some detail work done on my car but had a few other issues i wanted to square away as well. I have the Viniati fierce lip kit and the front lip is 'nicked' to hell from alot of highway use. I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a place locally that I could take it in and have the detail work done as well as fix that issue with my front lip... Thanks for any feedback!

For the nicks, I know at least two people will say FCR in Weymouth...

For detail, buy a Porter Cable 7424 and do the work yourself. Up front cost is a b1tch but then you have the tools to detail your car whenever you want for free.

FCR? Yea i believe ive seen a couple of posts mentioning that place. Do you happen to know if they are reasonable price wise? And as far as the Porter Cable idea, i will defniently consider it if the price to have it proffesinally done is too crazy.

FCR is good if you have a lot of downtime and what not, they do good work but take a while, your in rhode island and if your just having the front lip/front bumper done id maybe take it to HI-TECH in warwick... but even they arent that great definately dont take your car to them if youre installing a cf hatch... :tap:

Well I guess I will jus keep checkin around.... I work nights and a lot of of details and OT during the day so I can't be without my car for 'too' long. Either way for good work and a decent price I'm willing to work around their work schdule.

dave should give all the details before he goes and throws stones but they will take great care of you in a timley manner provided all things are worked out first IE payment DAVE!!! i will talk to you in person about this dave....anyway disreguard what he said and PM me if you want to contact them and at least price it out

davedavetC 04-20-2009 10:49 PM

lol.

mikes right. sorry. i got a little carried away, FCR is good but like i said make sure you have some time. they do good work.

btw mike, my payment situation was taken care of with t. but things got mixed up, my car still shouldnt have taken as long as it did, same with jeffs. but thats for another convo, and im entitled to say this.

NickstC 04-21-2009 12:35 AM

Its all good dave. You are entitled to your opinion and i wiuldnt have asked if I didnt want 'all' feedback :P

trungchau 04-21-2009 02:12 PM

my car should be done this week
will post up pics for you if you are interested

NickstC 04-21-2009 09:11 PM

Sounds good trung!

davedavetC 04-21-2009 09:16 PM

i hope your car is finished this week, i saw it yesterday and the front bumper was on (not painted or preped just on)

NickstC 04-21-2009 09:24 PM

I sent some pics to Tufan to send on over to FCR so i can get an estimate.... I might check to see if they could paint my calipers too.

what people fail to realize is that sometimes custom work takes a while and that we have given FCR so much business lately that they are backed up with just SCIONS! its incredible how backed up they are just because of us Scions there, let alone all the other custom work they are doing on audis, bmws, etc etc.

for quality work, sometimes the wait is well worth it. also you get what you pay for, so you can go to joe shmo's place and pay $200 to get a paintjob, but let me tell you how frustrated youll be when you park next to a car that got painted and worked on at a real quality place.

hit me up or hit mike up about FCR's work, or just check the pics of my car out that are here in my profile. they do all my work. i agree they may take a while on certain projects, but that just goes to show you how much demand they are in these days.

NickstC 04-21-2009 09:41 PM

zdawg the car is crazy :clap: ! Im not doin anything crazy just basically repainting some chipped and damaged pieces. But quality to me is more important then anything so i hear what your saying.

davedavetC 04-21-2009 09:46 PM

like i said before, they do good work but it takes time.

just giving you a heads up,

also because im being messaged like crazy from different people

I AM NOT EFFING BASHING THEM OKAY!!!!

I LIKE FCR JUST AS MUCH AS THE NEXT PERSON OTHERWISE I WOULDNT HAVE TAKEN MY DAMN CAR TO THEM, SO LEAVE IT BE I HAVE MY REASONS FOR SAYING WHAT I SAY!!!! OKAY!? I DONT LIKE ANYONE LESS BECAUSE OF THEIR COMMENTS, I STILL LOVE YOU ALL BUT YOU NEED TO CHILL, WHAT I SAY IS MY OPINION AND IM ENTITLED TO IT JUST LIKE YOURE ENTITLED TO YOURS.

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE MY MIND SO DROP IT.

OKAY? I LOVE YOU BYE


(p.s. nick that wasnt directed to you, because im sorry to say this but until we meet and get to know eachother i cant tell you i love you :rofl: )

zdawg913 04-21-2009 10:05 PM
