I ordered the evo front last week!!! hopefully it'll be in late this week or early next week and i'll have it painted and installed by the end of next week. and i'm gonna be putting some fogs in. anyways, this is kinda off topic, but did you have to do anything with the bumper support when you had the evo front installed? like, did they have to trim it at all or remove it? thanks

There are a bunch of us in the Massachusetts area. I am in Foxboro, Charger71 is just north of Boston, SilverRS (I think) is in Boston, NER947 is in Lowell for school, Squid is in RI, VX-100 is in RI, RIEclipse is in RI, and I am sure that there are more. I just wish that we could get all of us together sometime. I hang out with Todd and Nick (VX-100 and RIEclipse) a lot, Nate (Charger71) every so often, and the rest of them not so frequently. I don't know of a good body shop, though, to be honest. Sorry, though...

i live in mass and work at a body shop. I am getting mine re repainted in may for 500.00. Dont know where u live so I cant tell u where to go. I work in dudley. I cant believe the 1 bill forgot me, not really. But there is alot of us. Just a suggestion but if u ask charger 71 he will now what I am talking about. If every 1 knows where the auburn mall is, Well asog has meets there some times. We could plan a meet there sometime, like a month or two. U almost come before 1 bill, but your clutch blow or something, a while ago but it is in the middle of the state.

there is a shoop in attleboro, it's called M&M Auto Body, they paint the whole car for 1500 or 1000 if you put a sticker on your car, they do great work, and they are always busy so you need to sign up and wait like 2 months to get a paint job and I think they changed the name and the got a bigger place, I could find out the street if you like, and they could also make your car a widebody eclipse or anything else you would like.

I live in CT, but i don't mind the trip out to MA, isn't all that bad. Hell, i'm goin al the way to ohio to hang out with peeps from the board :P. I have a sinsei front in my basement, i have hella fogs, i have to make some slits in my bumper to fit them and fabricate some mounting brackets, but for $50/pair, i wasn't gonna complain. As for body shops, the best in my area is about a 10 minute walk from my heazy :thumbsup

Hey boston 2GNT'ers. We got to get together and go up to NED some night. I'm In Lawrence, but I work in Boston. I'm always up for some DSM stuff...I eat sleep and breathe it anyways ;)

Good luck with the body shop, let me know if you have any luck, maybe if we all go to one guy they'll bust a deal or something. I need some touch ups here n there, mostly chips on the front from the highway.

Hope to see some of you guys soon!

I know a GREAT body shop in West Warwick Rhode Island... The place looks like a dump, but the guy does the best damn work you can ever imagine... He just repainted a 1967 Stingray, looks immaculate... If you want some info on it email me dude (obeahclan_at_yahoo.com)...

RIEclipse, is this Nick from risr.net??
I post on risr.net too as "97EclipseGS" (the red one w/ the CF hood)...

45850, RE: mass..........body shop

true, I mean maybe I could prime it and have him paint it, but that place m&m auto body does some great work, I saw some paint jobs from there and looks like a 3,000 paint job and seems like it will last too.
