Yeah, let me know how it goes. I know a bunch of people who have used them and had great things to say about the quality of work.
I'll have to contact them sometime soon because of my 1 small curb rash.

Ive seen a quiet few nicely modded benzos in the area, just the other day i saw this silver 'renntech' coupe with a 3 piece spoiler, some rims, exhaust, and a chick driver! (Prolly was her bf's car
) Usually im so focused on not getting hit that i only notice the modded benzes at the last min, people drive like a$s around here. I ended up going to tru wheel because the guy i called at UWT told me to call another guy and that guy told me to call another guy, it sounded shady so i decided not to go with them, ill be picking it up on monday so by next weekend my wheels should be back on
If you see me honk, my car stands out in the sense that i have my name on the license plate the Islands here has horrible service
for food options, you should try Mulberry Street Pizzeria, katsu-ya, Yamato, and Stevies for dinner and drinks

Does anyone know any shop in SoCal that would repair curb rash? anybody know an estimate to a minor rash? The damage is only a little bit. Nothing major.
