I live in the 626, and though Platinum VIP is much closer, I had a great referral and quote from Diamond Hills Collision. They're located in Diamond Bar area. They do get pretty busy at times, especially with it being car show season right now, so it's best to give them a call so they can consult with you and get an understanding of what you'd like done.

Diamond Hills Collision Center
20540 Walnut Dr.
Diamond Bar, CA 91789

Here's what I wanted done to my ride. They really go above and beyond what is expected.





Hope this helps!

Thanks, Shadow! I really like your SGM on bronze look.

lol I put it back on. I had snapped a pic right after the paint had finished drying and was back at the collision center. I thought about de-badging the entire rear, but I like the look with all the emblems in the back.

The work looks great, but one question. Will they work with polyurethane? B/c like some members have molded lips and even entire bumpers to their 2IS bumper (such as the 4GS bumper) I had a plan in mind and called Platinum VIP about it and they seemed shocked. They told me that they didnt know if they could do it because it is polyurethane and they've never heard of the clublexus people that have done the 4GS bumper. So that was kind of a bummer cause they seemed doubtful.. I was hoping to get all the work done in one place. So do you know if Diamond HIlls will work with plastic/polyurethane?

That is something that they'd consult with you about. They have done quite a few show cars before, and more likely than not polyurethane materials were used. I don't see why they wouldn't be able to work on it. Honestly, it wouldn't hurt to give them a call and find out more.

My car is currently at Platinum VIP. After doing some research, made alot of sense to bring it their for work. I live 5 minutes away and their work speaks for itself. Not to mention, Kennedy really works with you and makes sure your getting what you want. Can't wait till my car is done.

I just had a ton of molding/customization/polyurethane/fiberglass work done in South OC at Laguna Niguel Collision.

Dmitriy is an honest/detailed guy and his team does excellent work.

Is it just an install? As in removing the OEM spoiler, cleaning and preparing, painting the rep spoiler, and mating it with the trunk? If so, I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't. If it's just that, having it painted along with removing the OEM spoiler are the hardest part appear to be the hardest. PM me if you need a quality paint shop in the 626.
