Good Fiberglass Shop In Act Or Qbn

[hr32gts]

I am looking for a good reliable , Quality

Fiberglasser to install my BN sports Blister kit for my R32

Since the kit is a full widebody kit the rear guards will need to be moulded into the body hence why I need a fiberglasser

I dunno of many shops around so anyone had any good experiences with either a shop or a backyard fiberglasser to do jobs like this ?

Not looking to spend heaps and heaps of Dollars but I want a nice quality fiberglass job that aint gonna cost the world like alot of shops out there ...

some places want like $3000 to install a kit they can get ripped ... as I am doing the paintwork myself I will just need the kit fitted and smoothed in and primed thats all

Haha mate you are kidding yourself if you think adding a fiber-glass wide body will simply stick to your existing metal guards.

If someone has offered you 3k to fit the kit and ready for paint then take it. But dont be suprised when it hasn't been baked correctly or has even been installed correctly. Installing the kit and having it ready for paint is 90% of the work painting is nothing when looking at a wide body.

I've had my Supra in a work shop for 13 months getting this done (TRD wide body) and it has been the most painful experience of my life. I'm now having the car removed from the workshop and sent to Sydney. I would not recomend anyone in canberra...period.

Don't forget you'll need to cut your exisnting metal guards out so you can utilise the wider guard with larger rims.

If you want an honest estimate based on experience you'll be looking at over 5k and that would be cheap. Mine including kit, fitting, paint, new wheels is over the 20k mark

That $3000 above should have been $8000 it was a miss type on my part ...

$8000 is pretty bloody excessive

I have had kits fitted and full respray prior and it aint cost anywhere near this much

yes but your not talking about front and rear bar and side skirts.

Give SmashTech in sydney a call. I can bet you any money that they will be cheaper then anyone in canberra and provide a much higher quality finished product.

speaking of kits etc... Anyone know where I can get a front bar sprayed?? and fitted... The colour will need to be matched since it is a custom colour.

I'll be getting mine fixed up at Capital Collision in Fyshwick unless someone else can suggest somewhere better (was originally suggested on the forums in the first place anyway). Went there and the guy I spoke to was helpful, looks like they do a good job. He'll get paint matched as well, and remove/fit the bar.

greg at Hume Bodyworks is a nice bloke. I haven't had a car in there before but i was getting some help regarding the never ending issue of my car a few months ago.
