East Bay / San Jose Body Repair

Anyone know of a paint/body repair in the East Bay (Union City/Fremont) or San Jose are. I read in the forum about some places in SF but just wondering if there were any good places East Bay or San Jose?

Want to get a lip painted and maybe installed.

Also got some damage to a pillar on the passenger side that I want to know if it's fixable.

Thanks.

B-Line body shop
in San Jose does great work. They're not cheap but you will get quality. They specialize in BMWs and are the primary body shop for Steven's Creek BMW, but they have done their fair share of Gs.

Stillen Splitter... Debating about getting it painted or not... but I don't know crap about cars so drilling holes into my ride scares the SH*T out of me.

but I do have some damage on a pillar so I want to see if that can get fixed.

What's your opinion? paint the splitter or leave it black?

Thanks

it all depends on you really! does the black splitter matches your car's color? most people just leave it as is, painted looks pretty good too. so, i can't really offer a opinion on this one.

as far as installing this lip. it's very easy, if you don't mind driving up to SF i can help you out on the install.

do you have a pic of your damaged pillar?
