Exclamation [AZ] Recommended Shops?

Hey everyone! I live in the Gilbert/Chandler area of AZ and was looking for a good shop you guys can recommend that would paint and install a body kit for my IS300 and repaint my faded plastic parts. I can't seem to find any on Google and i'm not connected enough to be able to ask around.
Thanks!

Also, when's the next AZ meet? I'd really like to meet some local IS owners.

You could try elevens paint and fiber. I always get my stuff painted from them.

If you cant make it to the wednesday meet, you can go to the pavs meet in Scottsdale every saturday. Theres some IS300s that come out once in a while.

Default finishing touch

For body work, kit installation and finishing, and paint, I highly recommend finishing touch in fountain hills. When I got sanwiched in my rx-8, I went there because they mostly work on high end cars, lambos, ferraris and the like. I had a racing beat fiberglass front end cover installed and they did a perfect job with fit. And fiberglass is a bitc* to fit. Matched paint exactly. My car was the cheapest car getting work done.

How I found them was that our car club had a visit there. They wanted to know members rides and paint color. When we arrrived, they gave us free touch up paint, that they mixed. I have a velocity red with metallic flakes, and the paint matched perfect.

Reasonable price and attention to detail, quality work. I am not affilated with finishing touch. Hope this helps!

I'm currently looking into Finishing Touch, I've liked what I've seen from them so far, I'll report back with how everything goes with them. I'm replacing both bumpers and a front liner.

No kidding? I'm in a SFP 09 IS250, I might have met you the other day then even. Getting the front bumper and rear bumper + some liners replaced...

They're ordering from Bell lexus (shiver...) right now, so as soon as the parts come in you'll get her!

really want to get the roof done in black, preferably vinyl or painted if I must, they think it'll cost $500 to do there..

by the way, my car will be the only IS250 in there with TX plates, 6sick6!

yes sir, we met the other day. Im Drew with the flat green IS350. Good deal man, im glad your fixin her up and i cant wait to get started on her. A black roof would look really nice on there as well. $500 sounds about right to do it. I just got done fixing all the rock chips and re spraying a front lip for an SFP 09 IS250 with air bags that comes out to the meets. You should really come check out the meets, every 1st and 3rd wednesday of the month in the best buy parking lot at tempe market place.
