Lexus of Austin uses Berli's Body Shop up north and Autocraft Bodywerks down south. I take my car to Autocraft Bodywerks and have been satisfied with the results.

Shoot with everyone moving to South Austin, we could almost have our own meet haha.

Turb, what kind of food do you like and I am sure I could recommend a handful of places. As for that guy, yeah, I got a kind of squirrelly look too when I passed him. And as for body shops, the only recommendation I have is to stay away from AMM and Caliber Collision.

Glad to hear there are more people in this area now, I am sure we will see everyone more often. My buddy runs that car wash right next to you and have run into Mike up there before. With all this rain, I haven't washed and waxed in some time though, but will keep my fingers crossed for some sun!

To all,
Lets try to set up something for the weekend of the 20th and 21st if that works?

I vote for 21st @ 12:30pm! weather permitting

Suggestion for location? Trudy's South Star, has plenty of parking, but just a suggestion, can do other stuff as well.

Damn that's not good, my insurance company had me take it to AMM . I dropped it off today and waiting to hear if it's totalled or not. IF it is, I'm going to try and get another one, either BO or GGP. Hopefully I can get my exhaust and intake back. I like all kinds of food, going to a culinary academy kinda makes you expand your taste a bit lol.

For one of these meets, I say we meet at one of the garages in the domain and have lunch/dinner at one of the restaurants there. Domain has a lot of pretty swaggerific (albeit expensive) restaurants .. Jasper's, Joe DiMaggio chop house, Gloria's (mexican), maggiano's (italian), North (italian), there's another steakhouse (chain) as well, I'd like to say finn and porter but I may be wrong.

Gloria's actually is pretty reasonable on the price, the rest are pretty expensive though.

Awesome. Haha I'd really only be going to check YALLS rides out. My TP IS 350 is bone stock, unfortunately. I did take the front license plate off though, if that counts! Also, being an '09, I have the '09 tail lights and the OEM "lobstar claw" '09+ rims. That about does it for my car's novelty, though, haha.

I have just had no time to spend towards my car, being drenched with other responsibilities. One of these days though...
