Good body Shop in LA???

I know someone else had a thread like mine, but i need ur help guys!

My 8's back left fender has been ruined, no paint damage.
I parked my babe in the street, someone must have something against me, I think i know who. They beat the **** out of my back fender. That *******!!!
I can't exactly point fingers without anything. But who knows what i might do to his car later on... (just jk)

Anyhow, I need to repair my baby, where can i go to have it worked on PERFECTLY! Mine is pearl white, paint work needs to be perfect or it will show..

I know Anthony's on Pico and somthing, but I know how they do the bodywork.
My friend had his 8 done over there, he said the old Culver City Dealership advised him to go there. Anthony's worked on his door and front fender.
They came out almost perfect, but lil tiny bit of color difference, and body difference. It's really hard to tell the difference right away, but if u look harder u can.

I really don't wanna be in a place where i can tell the difference of colors on mine, cause mine was soooo perfect until that ****** ruined my car.

Will you guys please help me and find a good place to have my 8 worked on?

P.S. is there such thing as fender flares for 8? maybe i should just buy fender flares to cover it. I just know body work will not be too perfect the way i expect.

I just got mine fixed at Buerge's (BMC) Body shop on Stoner and Olympic in West L.A.

AAA paid for it (another person hit me) but when I saw the receipt, it looked costly for something very minor (got hit right on my right fender but it was a small dent).

Anyway, Tony @ Buerge did a great job and he finished it in less than a week.

if you are that worried about quality, then maybe you should visit broning collision in cerritos. browning collision is owned by the same guy who owns cerritos acura, browning mazda, and cerritos dodge. they do really good work, but kinda expensive.

Talking

I live near to Beverly Dr, and Whilshire Blvd intersection. on Charleville.
Are u coming to show me ur car???

I went to Browning Collision Center
Woahhh they ARE expensive, but are they worth it?
2400$
At Anthony's it was
1500$
And at that place on Robertson and Venice, Old Culver City Mazda's ex Collision center.
1200$


At Browning Collision Center,
they are gonna cut and replace the whole left body, and all the plastics inside the body parts even though their not damaged. And they will blend the color of back bumper, left back door, trunk, and the part that replaces the old back left part. Seems like a lot to do for sorta lil damage in my op. but what do u guys think? ill post my damage pics later tomorrow.

Anthony's said they'll do some bodywork, and blend is all.
So did the Robertson and Venice one.

I wish there was some sorta fender flares to cover all.
