jocson autobody does some really legit work. buddy of mines been going there for all his body work for years. national city area.

layzhao · 09-22-2009, 09:32 AM

Sinful, by far does the best body work around san diego. In my opinion.

1CLNS14 · 09-22-2009, 02:32 PM

Custom Autobody in Kearny Mesa on Raytheon St. Talk to Carlos.
Luxury Autobody on Aero Drive Talk to Ron
both are top notch no runaround, or surprises.

That depends. If he actually cares about the car, then yes. I've seen some shitty work from them on friends car's though.

In that case, don't bother going there. They charge an ass load for "just ok" work, imo. All the people i know that have gone through them have always had to go back to have them fix something they messed up the first time around. I guess they have a good rep, but from the stuff i've seen, they're WAY over priced. FYI, on my old S14 which had MAYBE 3 or 4 dime sized dings, i got a quote for $3700 for a basic respray of the factory black. Mind you, i i told them i didnt need the door jams, trunk, or engine bay touched. JUST a respray AND i was gonna give it to them pretty much disassembled and lightly prepped already (no lights, bumpers removed, weather stripping removed, clearcoat sanded etc.)

damn near $4k to spray a gun just cuz you're oooh aaah Sinful Enhancements? Ummm, no thanks.

lol! Amen. I too think Sinful is over charged. For that much $$$, I would expect a flawless paint and body work. I had my 240sx painted at Jocson's in National City. $1600 for paint and body work...this included 2-tone, door jams, fixing all dings, shaving antenna & rear parking lamps, dent in rear lower quarter panel, prep Vertex aero. Granted...I ended up installing my OEM moldings and aero kit myself but this was because the shop was hella lagging and I had a deadline for a show, which I ended up missing. I was pretty pissed that the job was not fully completed on their end but it was probably for the best because I installed the kit correctly and overall, I'm pleased with it. Paint and body work came out really good for what I paid. Paint used was PPG. Like I said, Im happy with it.

With that said, Sinful is good/alright...if you know them. Candy's autobody painted my AE86 but their prices are similar to Sinful but I think they produce better end results. Pacific painted my Vertex aero last April. They did a pretty damn good job as well. I receommend them too!!!

Do you just need a kit installed or do you need it painted as well? If you just need it installed...do it yourself. Its not very hard. If I were you, I'd get the kit painted and install it myself to save $$$.

DJ Silent · 10-26-2009, 09:48 PM

I need to hit up micheal, all I need is a new fender and bumper and I am ready for paint

I disagree. I think Sinful is over-priced for end-results of body work and craftsmanship...but thats just my 2 cents.
