My Trip to Vince's Auto Body Works

[NSXRguy]

met joe for a second time after the mt fuji meet. i went there to get a test fit and an estimate for my wings west front lip, stacy side skirts, downforce door panels, downforce 02+ rear valence. im scheduled to go back mid april for the actual job since the shop is a bit busy at the moment. cant wait! :biggrin:

as far as fitment goes, everything looked like they fit very well, and should go on smoothly.

only problem is that i bent my front driver side rim on the way there

As far as the bent wheel goes, for what it's worth, I've heard very good things about an outfit in Westchester that specializes in custom wheels and wheel repairs...

I have no first hand experience but a number of people in the Exotics Rally group have used them and spoken very highly of them.

I'm friends with the owner and can vouch for the quality. He took my Dad's stock NSX rims that were bent and made them perfect. This is above and beyond standard rim straightening, they use computer imaging when fixing the wheel to make sure it is perfect. They also make their own wheels in house!

Yea, I'm interested too, how much to repair a wheel and how long it takes. After 4 years with my wheels avoiding pat holes in metro area, one got me finally and crack a wheel last month. Could not find replacement and got new set of wheels, but would like to repair the old one.

Thx,
Dave

Most cracked rims are best used as garden hoe reels, they cant be properly fixed and most shops wont even attempt it.

garden hoe reels

Got ho's on the brain again? :smile:

John (Anytime) gave me the idea. I sent him one of my bent SSR GT3's, and tried it. I have one in my backyard, actually looks pretty cool.

I'm not sure what they charge because it depends on the damage. If you have stock rims they should have those in the computer from my Dad's car.
