355 front spoiler repaint/repair questions

It's time to get my front spoiler on 355 fixed- not only chipped paint but some "dings" in material (fiberglass) and possibly some minor damage to the underneath area behind spoiler.

I have had 328s and Testarossa spoilres fixed several times- but they are different design/materials, at least I think.

Any of you that have had this work done in U.S.- preferably SoCal area, can you tell me approx. what you were charged and how happy you were with the service?

I know this sounds crazy, but the guy that worked on my Benz had a Diablo and had same spoiler issues and told me he has a guy that would come to his shop and fix it right there- sounds like a very "second-rate" job - but I do have respect for this guy. Has anyone had any experience similar to that?

Of course I'd like to use Dave at Premier here in Culver City, but he is so busy with "real" problems that I'm afraid I might be waiting awhile to get the work done there.

Thanks for any "real experiences" you can provide.

Thanks guys- I knew some of you had this work done, but I was getting the "cold shoulder"...

Dave- the job you had done looks beautiful, and really, $1K is less than what I was expecting. Was it exclusively paint, or any little "chips and dings" too? I forgot, you probabaly saved several hundred $$ of labor by taking bumber on and off yourself.

Last spoiler I had fixed was the black fiberglass one on my Testarossa, which has "missing" chunk and was way easier to remove and fix than a 355s- but I'm pretty sure I paid $1400 for fix (might have included something else minor, or flat-bedding).

Any other stories on fixing the front bumper, with approx. price you paid? I am getting quotes all over the map and of course, at a certain point you get what you pay for, but time/distance is also a consideration for me right now.

Thanks again,

Eric
