Auto body it is. Woburn ma. They did my Audi s5 a few years back and did a sick job. Even fought with the other person's insurance because they hit me and they got top dollar and fixed everything even better than before the accident. It was in the shop an extra week or 2 because they were getting the extra money but I couldn't have been happier.

Edit, take a swing by there to even talk with a guy for a couple mins and see the cars that are inside getting painted. When I went it was all exotic or modified cars.

Where are you in MA by the way? Haven't met any fellow m3 drivers. I'm north of Boston as well.

Meh it’s ok I actually was surprised I got the two responses. Yea I’ve got a bunch of mods mostly cosmetic. Eisenmann Race exhaust Performance wise I’ve got a BMC filter, turner pulleys and turner tune and BBK. Mines blue too 11’ Lemans blue/ fox red interior I’ll put up some pics later on

I went over to Mike's to get a quote on having my front bumper repainted since it came drilled for a front plate and I don't have one.

I setup an appointment to get it done but later canceled cause I was worried that it wasn't going to match and the respray would not be a durable as the factory. I'm just really anal about my cars and had a bad experience at another shop with my previous car. For now I can deal with a couple of holes in my bumper.

I talked to one of the owners and he seamed really knowledgeable and I would definitively go back there if I change my mind. They were highly recommend.

They also have a Java Green E92 M3 shop car.

Having used Mike's for a few projects, I can reccomend them from true experience. Paint color and texture match have never been an issue and I too am a fussy customer.

Nice the Superman color combo. I had a check for one of those cars but the seller backed out so I would up with my interlagos blue with bamboo interior. Just a borla atak for me on stock zcp 6mt. I am ordering a ess 625 in a few weeks.

Oh shit nice. Yea I def have not seen that car or it would have caught my eye. I planned on driving mine this winter but wound up with another car so mine hasn't seen snow.

Yea I can't wait to get the SC and put it on. I have had a few 500+ hp cars so I have been looking for more power and after being on this forum for a while I made my decision. Have you been in one sc'd? I gotta imagine it's quite an improvement.
