Fiberglass work & Bondo Work

Does anyone do or can recommend someone that is very reasonably priced in doing such things? Looking for So Cal area preferably in LA or OC.

I basically need to determine if it's worth doing my custom bumper. I have to fiberglass bumper, pretty much the same, one MAY be wider than the other, but I was planning on cutting them in half and use bottom from one and top from the other and glassing.

Other thing I need done is smoothing out my fenders..they have dimples from hammers so just needs some bondo to be smoothed out.

I'd prefer someone on the forum that does it themselves to help them out, but I don't mind if it's a shop.

If it costs too much to do my custom bumper if someone repairs fiberglass bumpers, that works too...i'm gonna take a stab at it myself but wouldn't mind someone that has experience doing it...it's cracked in 4 places :pat:

Yeah, yeah, Tony is cool people. If you go that rout tell him Kris said what's up.
That covers you for LA, if you want somewhere in OC give Miguel at AZ Customs a call at (714) 557-1716. If you go that rout tel the fellas there that I sent you. They'll take care of you. You can check out some of the stuff there on site. Pretty crazy stuff, mostly DUB inspired but that's OC for ya. That bumper shouldn't be too much for them to handle.

Cool...i'll try em out. So far I was quoted 5 bills for the bumper. Understandable. If I can get it for 3 bills fug it, I'll do it..if not no worries, just gonna stick with what I got n' get it fixed. I wanna get a good deal but at the same time I understand it costs money and requires lots of labor, so im not complaining if i cant get it for what i want to do it for.

500 is cheap, especially if they are going to fix it, and paint it, not to mention custom work as well.

Unfortunately it doesn't include paint. With paint I'm look at 750-800. Still good...if it was 500 i'd much rather do that if it included paint. That's what I'm looking at to spend to have my current bumper repaired, adding some housing for the fog lights and getting painted.

cool, tell big bro that Kris said what's up. Tony is cool people. When I got my bumper on there he chopped it up w/ me for like 4 hours there at the shop. That's where I got my skirts too. He's got some rediclious rides (Marble painted NSX, Benz, Lotus, etc.) Strait baller, modest too. You're in good hands... probably gonna need to use 2x4 to get your car back into the body work area and out hehe.
