Cool Anyone in the NYC area

I bought my first car in august. it's a 94 Camry V6 LE. It has two small dents and needs a paint job. I was wondering if any one know of a good body shop in the area that's not that pricey. I was also thinking about puting a bodykit on the car. can someone give me a price range if you have done that to your car in the NYC area.

Thanks.

Well, I'm originally from NYC and don't live too far from it now, but I don't know of any places that you can take your car .

Here's a link, however, to a site someone in these forums put me onto, NOPI.com

That link will send you directly to the body kits for your car. I don't know what you're looking to spend, but they don't come cheap and you will need to paint them.

About those dents...

I recently took two dents out of my car, and I did it with a plunger. I know it sounds stupid, but it works, just stick and pull.
For reference, the dents I had were about the size of a cantolope.

HTH, good luck!

Thanks.

I know were to get the bodykit, as a matter of fact I was thinking of geting the VIS kits from NOPI.com. I want to get an idea of how much it would cost to put on. The plunger might work on one of them, but the other was from a 2x4 landing on the edge of the passager side fender.

Thanks for the idea.

If you come to the Island (Long) there is a really good body shop, all the car dealers send their customers to these guys. they are good and fast. email or PM me and I'll find out the name of the place.
