Good shop to fix lip in Bay Area

Nition · 04-20-2011, 12:52 PM

Hi guys, can you recommend a good place to fix my Arkym carbon fiber front lip? It has scratches and small cracks visible on the top side, so I want to have the front area painted and leave the sides unpainted.

i take all of my work to RJ's Paint Shop over in Pleasanton. You may want to have them check out the lip to see what they can do. They are right next door to Alekshop.

Actually had them repair my scratched rims while Aleks worked on my VT1. RJ's did a very nice job! They also showed me this job they did where they removed the front amber reflectors off the bumper of another M3 and filled in the holes. The finished job was seamless. Wow! I'd say these guys know what they are doing.

Thank you Nick, I'll definitely give them a call.

Yea,

Give RJ a Call. I am not sure how much he will be able to do with cracks in CF, but if it can be fixed, he is the guy.

While you up there, get Aleks to code and install some cool stuff.

Another +1 to RJ's Paint Shop next to Alekshop.

He's done a lot of work for me, everything from corner reflector delete to custom Brembo BBKs and exhaust tips. He's meticulous and a great person to work with.
