I am looking for a comapny with experience fitting fibreglass bodykits, but I'm not looking at spending thousands of dollars (ie. $840.00 to paint and fit a pair of side skirts) at one of the big name crash repairers.

I have a front bar, side skirts, rear bar, side mirrors and bonnet to paint and fit. Everything is currently fitted to my car, however the side skirts and rear bar require some work. Depending on price, I can paint and fit the bonnet and front bar myself. The car was originally two tone, so I also need to have the doors sprayed (as there is a dark grey strip across the bottom of each door).

So, please recommend any places you have been happy with. List what you have had done, how much it set you back and how happy you were with the result.

Oh, and if the place is looking for some publicity, I am willing to wear stickers on my car for a few months (including at Autosalon) in exchange for a good price.

I am also the MD of a web development company, so if you know of any crash repairers who are in the market for a web-site, then chances are we can come to some sort of agreement...

MC doyles at edwardstown has a very good rep, price might be a bit high tho.

Ive had good experience with marion crash on marion road, although they couldnt keep with there dead line but the quality of work was excellent

Ive also used a place called Greg Nelson crash on brighton road, much cheaper then the above mentioned and still pretty good, u get what u pay for, for the most part, but probably best value for money by far.

cheers

Prestige Motor Body Repairs at 226A Bridge Rd, Pooraka 8260 2724 painted and fitted my kit. Reasonable prices and ok quality - not absolutely fantastic but pretty good. I don't know the price as it was a part insurance job with other things too. I think he quoted around $700 to paint, with fitting only a bit extra.

Iam in a similar situation, but I sourced a type m front bar for my r33. It has a bit of damage though, and needs to be repaired.

I have been quoted around 200 to paint and fit plus some more money to repair as it has to be sent off to another place to be fixed.

So lets say around 300 all up. Do you think this price is resonable?

Didnt want to hijack your thread or anything, but it was relating to painting panels.

=p

Anyone want to buy a R33 series 1 front bar? lol

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
