Paint / Bodykit, Best Place To Go?

[Sonuku]

Hi thar,

Welp, picked up a S1 R33 GTST, pretty happy with it.

Needs work, but thats what I wanted. Buying a perfect car would of been boring.

I'm new to cars... infact, I drove a Magna around for the last 4 years (... i know, but like, it had racing seat covers!), SO, Now I have this awesome hobbycar to blow my paycheques on.

What I'm looking to do is get a new bodykit for it, and get some detailing done at the same time. Probably looking at a JUN bodykit atm, dont really want a fake gtr/failside... I kinda like the Do-luck, but not as much as JUN. (Don't want rice, like, some nice matte rims, get the engine modded some more... but anything is progress atm)

ANYWAYS.

Where is the best place to get a bodykit painted up/fitted in Canberra?

Is it going to be cheaper to... say buy the bodykit from PSI parts, get it delivered, then get it painted/fitted?

While im getting this done, wouldn't mind a professional cut/polish and some small rockchips scattered around the body.

Oh, and while I'm asking around, who does reasonable exhaust pricing? 3" turbo back. I've been getting my R33 serviced at F&F in Fyshwick, but only because its close to work. Really dont think they can handle anything other than basic servicing.

Any recommendations would be muchly appreciated!

Thanks!

With the painting, yes, get the kit then get it painted (I think thats what your asking). It all depends on your budget and how far you want to go with the paint (like show, or just nice or crap). For show or just nice, Tony Farugias on Tennant St in Fyshwick are tops, but they arent too cheap (from what I have heard). But im sure someone else will have some other good places around.

Tony Farugias is awesome (they fixed our Audi when someone ran up the back of it) but they don't like working on old cars and will often refer you somewhere else.

Jracing has done some repair work for me and I've always been really happy with their work.

if you go to Jracing just dont ask for a cheap job cause you will get a cheap looking result but same as anywhere i guess, theyve done some nice work though.

for servicing id recommend trojan motorsport in mitchell (62426277), john really knows skylines.

- David Hand Smash Repairs

- Professional Paint and Panel
