I have moved to Houston with my 2006 SL65. I am looking for a reputable, experienced shop that can paint and provide fitment / body work to complete the job.

I will probably be selling the following :

R230 wide body front bumper with led compatible with older headlights

R230 ducted BS hood

R230 rear bumper with valance

All 3 are from sarona.com and are flawless

I think I may have a found a reputable and affordable body shop In Houston tx.

Some of the higher end shops I contacted won't do a widebody. Some are asking prices that blow my mind...

I found one in Houston that is affordable and reputable.

They are also certified by a luxury car brand that I won't mention by name but that should be sufficient enough to stake their rep on.

On a side note...The owner is also a car enthusiast who owns among many...A very well equipped GTR

I was just about to order a hood for my 2007 SL65 from Sarona. Its the BS hood that fits the stock headlights of the 07. withoit doing the facelift. How long did it take you to get your parts and how do you feel the quality is?

Nice. Are the ducts in the front open? Do they have some sort of screen? If water gets in there does it just drain on top of the motor?
