Review NNJ Body Shop - Final touch

If you do a search you've seen my posts in search of a good NNJ body shop to do small and large jobs. Yesterday I dropped off the C63 to Robert (owner) and John to get a diffuser installed, fog light rings painted and Grill painted.

For me it's always about how safe you think your car will be and the quality of work. I know I cringe at the thought of bringing my car into the dealer because I just dont think they care. Both Robert and John are car enthusiasts and get it. I got pictures sent to me all along the way (only two days) even though it wasn't a major job. The first thing they did was wrap the driver side so they wouldnt dirty it.

They are a collision shop that also does high end auto work - there were two 911's getting worked on when i dropped off and also a Range getting custom bumpers fabricated - as well as a set of D2Forged wheels getting painted (they dont do powdercoating) - the rest were "regular" cars - like a 5 series and audi A8

Im not putting cost out there - you guys can PM me for it. It wasnt expensive to me and it wasn't cheap either - but im a believer in you get what you pay for. This was my first time here so I know Im starting to build the relationship for future jobs.

Here are some garage pics - Ill have better ones when the M14's go on in a week.

BTW, the Arkym diffuser does fit like a glove. The only thing I regret is I should have had them smooth out the ffinish since I didnt get it painted.

I changed recently to arkym kit. The front lip was perfect fit and finish was ok but the diffuser was terrible i had to repaint it black matte.

yea there are def some blemishes in it - i think its meant to be repainted. Mine wasnt too bad though so I chose to leave it as is. I think its hit or miss
