lol yea! Headies are off because they are getting HID foglights put in place of the OEM. Tails are getting changed to the TL-S conversion kit ones.

Update with pictures of finished work??

*rondog* · 12-04-2009, 8:46 PM

Damn, that bodyshop definitely knows how to do good work. They dialed that kit in perfectly. Nice job!

princelybug · 12-04-2009, 8:48 PM

Lookin' good so far.

TimTim · 12-05-2009, 1:41 AM

Yeah, I'm really jealous of that rear bumper fitment. I need to figure out whats wrong with mine, so I can fix it, or replace it.

edit: Just out of curiousity, What are you looking at for labor costs?

2Morrow · 12-06-2009, 12:06 AM

How do you like your tsudo exhaust ?

I got a ASM TL 6MT with a K&N and Im about to pull the trigger on a Tsudo kit but would like a lil feedback first.

The car will look good when done, Ill roll out to a bay area meet to check it out some day.

For the kit, fitment, paint and labor was about $1k.

What body shop is this?

I'm looking to do a base aspec front lip to my Type S.

I just want to look for a good shop that I can trust and your car is looking so good. They must do a great job!

It's about 1k because i had other things done as well all at once. Hit Paul, the owner, up. He does the work himself and is very proud of what he does as the workmanship shows in the final result. Tell him Eddie sent you.

no no, we'll just say it doesn't line up very well!

meesheddie · 03-29-2010, 12:27 AM

sorry for the late update. With the weather being bad after the mods, didn't get a chance to take pics till recently.

TimTim · 03-29-2010, 12:37 AM

Your body shop did an awesome job! Looks absolutely amazing! If I still had my TL, we coulda arranged a SSM RonJon meet and do a shoot together!

Anyways, nice work man, love those wheels!

A SiQ TL · 03-29-2010, 3:30 AM

Malayalee King · 03-29-2010, 12:14 PM

that looks really good

Batosai · 03-29-2010, 6:13 PM

that kit looks great on your car! Kuddos!!

JOSER408 · 04-02-2010, 11:11 PM

nice shots eddie it looks alswome

Denzil · 04-03-2010, 12:12 AM

The TL looks great!

ILLustriousUA6 · 04-05-2010, 2:39 AM

i knew i shoulda went to APEX. FAACK.

they did a really clean job on your car man.

ILLustriousUA6 · 04-05-2010, 2:39 AM

paint and labor sounds pretty legit pricing. Sounds like they only charged you for the paint itself.

how is the quality of the paint though? Did they blend?

meesheddie · 04-05-2010, 11:26 AM

yes. The color match was on point. Paul at APEX is a pro when it comes to body work and paint. Plus i would imagine he'd get the silver right since his car is a silver Porsche! lol. It's in one of the pictures above.

ILLustriousUA6 · 04-06-2010, 5:40 AM

is he running HRE or kenesis rims?

what problems? I didn't mention there were any issues. Very happy with the work. The only problem i did have now that you bring it up was that Paul at apex had Winston's shop (not Winston himself but the shop he's at) do the install of the muffler and Teins. In doing so, they fucked up my back seat's clips that keep the bottom cushion down to the frame and they left the right passenger's seat belt in the back instead of looping it back over. Other than that, all was good.

chris80i · 06-10-2010, 9:35 PM

These problems you listed is not from Winston Chan Auto Services. I don't want anyone to get this mixed up. Their is also Another Shop Owner there and they run seperate business. Please don't get this mistaken their has been plenty of memebers here that got their cars worked on from Winston. The guy who worked on your car is not with Winston Auto Service in anyways. Thats why I am recommended for you next time to go to Winston Directly Not who ever else worked on your car at that shop. Once again he has his own business.

Thanks again
