Hey,

Anyone have experience with paint shops in the GTA without any problems? Looking to get my headlight housing done professionally.

Heard lots of ppl on myIS have good things to say about Velocity Autobody, in Markham I believe

 

been a while since i heard about that forum, i used to own a IS300 before the G, but anyways about velocity, know a few people who also have is300's who went to velocity, ive seen their work from painting front lips to bumpers and they are pretty good and the pricing is decent. btw Velocity is literally near Speedstar.

 

Do you think Velocity would be able to paint the chrome housing in our headlights?

 

LOL, former IS300 owner here too, guess we both got good taste

 

Ive never inquired about painting the headlights but you can call and ask. I wanted to try that on my ex-cars but never had the ***** to oven bake my headlights then glue it back together, scares the crap out of me lol

 

Nice, man..i spent way too much money on that car, had everything from headers, ws2 catback, cai, altezza bumper (went through 2 bumpers from the cwest to oem with a wald lip) lowered it on eibachs, and i almost contemplated swapping out the nonturbo 2JZ to a 2JZGTE...need a deep pocket for that LOL..what made it all worth it was the fact that i work at toyota so basically free parts LOL.

 

Velocity said they dont paint housing...........sigh*

 

LOL, damn, sounds like you had a sick ride. What was the discount at Toyota? Just curious, at Honda it was 30% off parts for employees (I used to work at Honda back in the day, lol)

 

LOL damn nothing like that for me, not for a while i have only been with toyota for a year so hopefully in years to come better discounts lol, ohh and i get 10% off.

 

What i love is being able to work on my car so i never had to pay any labor or not know what i was doing lol, instead of paying the door rate of 100+ an hr i always worked on my lexus or had help from my coworkers. plus i took advantage of oil filters and warranty parts lol so thats where the free came in lol.

 

Haha, good stuff bro. Shocked how stingy the Toyota dealer is with discounts (10%). Yea, kinda similar, my frd is a Acura tech & does all kinds of installs for us, we just buy him nice dinners, haha
