Hahah yes bit crazy, but good guy and great work, he's very straight forward!
I found myself surfing google for a quick fix to a bent rim right before a car-meet. When i pulled in the lot I happened to be the only car. Skeptical to say the least, I wasn't anymore convinced once walking inside and meeting Al. Within minutes another 4-5 european cars pulled in the lot for wheel repairs. (Each owner with something good to say) I was out in under 2 hours and have been going back ever since.

Welcome to the club! Use it in good health

My side markers were wrapped in gloss black 3m vinyl wrap.
I have since got tired of the "blacked out" look and had my bodyshop paint the side markers white to match

Where did you pick up your exhaust tips?

Since my car is a lease i had the exhaust shop leave as much of my original exhaust opening as possible. Ive already made a second trip to the shop to have them fixed
Where did you order your exhaust tips? Did you have to do any mods to make them fit?

Anymore pics of the black pano from above?

I don't like what they did to the 2015 with the exterior changes! Why in the world did they change the headlights?
