Houston car need some work done!

ShockWave · 02-09-2012, 10:31 PM

I have coil overs on my car and need it rise 1/2 an inch. I also have some light scratches that needs to be buff out and polish... just on the roof and trunk of the car. Anyone know a "good place" around SW Houston that do any of this stuff? Let me know Thank!

Im all for Baker Nissan for the coils, for the paint im not sure tbh, if i was in town id do it myself since i have the tools. You can try contacting NST and see if they know any of the good mobile detailers around who can buff out the scratches. I know Grumbly and a few other pros hang around their shop.

Baker painted my Nismo front bumper and door handles and they are perfect.

I haven't got my paint fix yet. I'm going to try to hit it my self with Meguiar's M105/M205. what do you guys think?

I'm regretting it. Can't get out the driveway without scraping the front diffuser. Only thing is that I'm not sure it wouldn't scrape anyway do to the angle of the drive in realtion to the street.

I had the car lowered and a Nismo bumper installed at the same time so I went from regular nose and ride height to lowered about an inch in front and the Nismo nose.

It does look 100% better, so I'm cool with the scrape I guess.

$100 to rise it, if you have coilovers u can do it your self if u wanna save money. But u have to have to right tools and the know how!! about 1/2" from whatever it started out with. the 1/2 raise helped alot!! =)

Here is how it looked when i first got it.

Not sure if you'd go to Katy - but Andrew at Auto Conceirge does paint correction & removal of swirls and scratches. I'm taking my Z there on Wednesday.
