I've asked this before...a LONG time ago, but with no answers, so how about we try this again. Does anybody know of any shops in the southern CA area that has proven to do a good job on a a pearl white coat? I need my front bumper repainted. Tahkns for any help. Oh and 91, NorCal is ok too if you know a place in the bay area.

 

Stuttgart Motors in Redwood City did a great job a matching the paint on my bumper. There primarily a Mercedes shop. Richard Ott is the owner, but he's not very nice and he's a full blown kraut. The paint guy is Teddy, and he knows his way around a bodyshop. I know of another one in San Jo, but I need to find the name. I'll post it later.

 

Do you know how much he charged for your front bumper...that's what I need a shop for on mine. I'm gonna add to my first question...if you are able, post how much, on estimate, a front bumper would cost to be painted. Tahkns.

 

It was covered by insurance. I couldn't find the receipt. they're really expensinve. For some reason $700 sticks in my head.

 

$700 sounds about right....man paint shops charge an arm and a leg for a paint job.

 

tell me about it! Especially for pearl colors. Let me know if you guys come across any other good paint shops that might have some decent;y reasonable prices. Tahnks again 91.

 

yeah man...you want pearl???? you gotta pay...but your Z looks very very clean....i'll catch up with you....you'll see

 

Yeah I think you will. And the fronts actually all flaking off, but my buddy photoshoped that for me. The front doesn't have the best paint job, but the rest of the car is really clean.

 

i like it..... i love the nose piece... i am getting that for sure... i just need this job to come trough already...i've been unemployed for the past month....hell two months...my funds are kinda getting smaller ...it's ok i am a student

 

The nose piece itself can be had for a little over $100. Getting it painted is part of the cost that tends to suck.

 

i know man. i've seen them on ebay. i am gonna paint the car myself, so thats not gonna be a problem...it looks nice+it gives your radiator some air

 

I believe it gives more air to your intake than it does to your radiator. But it helps nonetheless.

 

yeah it does....whats this ztrix website??? another sponsor? and do they have any z32 stuff?

 

Looks as if they are...and I don't think they offer any Z32 stuff...mostly just kit cars or kit add on's for the 240-280 ZX. So anyone else know od any paint shops that are worthy and cheap...how about decent and cheap?

 

It also runs more air through the IC's. IMO, it looks much better than stock also. I'm not real happy with how mine fits. Down the road, I'll probably get something different.

 

We're talking about the front ducted panel not front bumper...I think you were referring to the bumper.

 

i like the bumper as well....after the 99 z bumper that one is my fav.good taste emo

 

I thought you were still talking about the bumper. Depending on which ducted panel you have. The one Emo has forces air into the air intake area. The one I have is a bit different. It helps to pull air up into the air box area from below. Performance wise, it doesn't do much. It just looks better.

 

which one do you have 91zxtt?

 

This one.

 

Yea, a buddy of mine has that one.

 

Yea, me!

 

nice i like it...

 

i just don't know why tt's didn't come with that one instead of the louvred kind?

 

haha, yes you got one but so does this guy:
