Default Good place to get my 5 Axis kit painted & installed?

Can someone recommend a shop in the Bay Area, preferably from San Carlos to Fremont to San Jose that can paint and install my 5 Axis kit on my 2008 xb?

For example, I know Stylis is the man to go to for exhausts and stuff, but who's the person to go to for painting lip kits and perhaps installs too?

come down to our scikotics meets!!!!!!!!!!! 1 xB2 ISNT ENOUGH!!!!!

i forget where you live but ive had a good experience with Gava's Auto Body in San Bruno. a couple months back i asked the same question and they guess-timated about $600 installed. i am not too surprised as a fellow tc also had his lip kit painted and installed for about $680 at some other place that only takes cash (wtf??)

Thanks for the invite again Mike... I'll see if one of these days I an make it.

I'll check out that shop. Do they do quality work? I know Superior Body in San Carlos does really nice work, but I was just hoping there was a more popular place everyone took their Scion too. San Bruno is still pretty far, but I might check that out...thanks.

I got my lip painted from this guy who works at this chevy collision place. His name is Ron, he does it on his own time but at the shop, you have to pay him cash, but he'd charge you cheaper.

superior body does fantastic work for sure! i think youre going to get a lot of different responses cause people are usually loyal to their mechs. my parents send the delivery vans to superior and i send my xb to gavas. i say stick with the paint guys youre used to. get friendly and try to talk out of paying a too high of an amount
