    So, I haven't posted on the forums too much since selling my suby, but I still troll fairly often. Hope everyone is doing well. :wavey:

    Anyways, I've had an '06 Acura TSX that I've been using as a DD and was rear-ended this morning on my way in to work. It was at low speed, probably 10-15 mph and for right now it appears that only the rear bumper cover will need to be replaced. Not a major ordeal, but like many on this site, I've very picky who I let work on my car and I expect the work to be pure perfection when done and look like it came straight off the factory floor. No runs, orange peel, thin spots, etc.

    With that being said, does any have any body shops they can recommend from personal experience? I found a few old threads that mentioned places like Artcraft, Gwinnett Collision, Magnum Collision and D&D Kustoms. After hearing what some folks have said about these places and doing some quick research online I'm leaning towards Magnum since they do a lot of high end cars and if it's good enough for people whose cars are worth eleventy times what mine is then it would probably be good enough for me. At the same time, I've seen some of the work D&D has done since they're on the southside near me, and while the jobs look really good I've never inspected their work up close like I would if it was my personal vehicle. Just looking for a once and done type transaction as I don't have time to keep taking my car back to fix mistakes that I find.

    Any help is greatly appreciated! :bigthumb:

    My car is getting painted at European collision repair or ECR in Jonesboro. In the few weeks It has been there I have seen some really amazing work done on plenty of high end merc's and BMWs. I'd say they are worth it of you want to drive down.

    I know exactly where that's at. How did you come across them? Personal referral?

    The owner is a family friend that lives in my hood (neighborhood that is). He has owned quite a few body shops over the years and hires people that know what they are doing.
