the place is called bernstiel's auto body and restoration, its in phoenixville. it cost me 1770. he did some minor body work to it, lining stuff up, painted the jams, hatch, and engine bay(didn't take the engine out, but sprayed around everything).

i like my stripes, lol. i wanted them.

great job on the car for the price! was it a color change, because at that price / quality that would definetly be a comptetitor for Maaco... I know I'd save the extra 500ish dollars for a quality job.

yeah, the car was marron before. went from the marron to black. if you can see the car in person, the quality isn't mind blowing, the striping was done very nicely, but up close you can see a few very minor spots here and there where it got slightly messed up(but i mean you have to be standing against the car and leaning over the hood... or a foot away from the rear bumper). the car does need to be buffed out once more, i think once its buffed again, it will help alot. the car looks very nice, until you get like right up against it, but again, once its buffed out again, should be very nice.

i mean, i've had alot of non car people look at it, and they are like wow, thats nice.... and i've had body shop people look at it, and there like, its nice, but you have this here, and here, and here... little minor things.

i gotta get my iroc stickers on it yet, and i'm not sure if i want to put white pin stripes along the bottom.... i might, i might not.
