NVD now has an "official" body shop

Re: NVD now has an "official" body shop

Yeah, "adjusting" sometimes involves more than just lowering hangars and stuff. In my case, the tips had to come down a bit. I didn't want the tips to "point" down, so I insisted that the entire muffler be lowered so that it's level with the ground. That's why they had to custom bend a piece of pipe, as well as install new hangars. So, there can sometimes be little work involved in adjusting.

PS - Ryan, I saw your Pwo pieces today and they look awesome! The cutout in the valence looks like OEM dude. They were explaining how you wanted it relative to the picture (the cutout is more to the left) and it lines up nicely with the lines on the Pwo piece.

Re: NVD now has an "official" body shop

Just dropped my rieger stuff off at Rudy's, they'll be able to fix it all and they didnt even charge me an arm and a leg. Their shop rate is amazingly low! Good work Derrick, I'll be using these guys for many years to come.

ps. Anyone have a garage to install this in, and expertise in how to install it?

Nice Simon! Good to hear they set you up well. They phoned me this afternoon about my pieces and mentioned you dropped by. I told them to make sure they give yours and Ryans car some extra love for WoW
If you want, you can install it in my garage (well lit and kinda heated).

Ryan - I saw your skirts and valence all done today. They look sweet. Shiny, shiny bling, bling I took your grill and checked for color matching and it looks perfect.

The rear looks great. I didn't look at it close up though cuz it was still in the paint booth. I wasn't there when you guys talked about how you wanted the hole cut, but from what I could tell, it looked great.

Edit: Your parts are done, and so is Ozzies car (kinda cool looking into the paint booth and seeing Pwo and Reiger stuff together ). But as usual, they're insisting they dry/cure it before we can pick it up. So, I'll be picking up on Monday as well.

Re: NVD now has an "official" body shop

Damn I wish I woulda looked in to see the painted items. Guess I'll have to wait till WoW (if/when we get in).

I might have to take you up on that offer Derick for the garage, I'm sure you have some expertise installing Rieger stuff now so you'll be a whiz

No problem Ryan, glad everything worked out
BTW how well did the color on the sideskirts match up in the sunlight?? No problems I hope.

Also, when I was there today Fraser mentioned that when you install the rear valence, you should use a blow dryer to warm it up first and help it "clip" into place. Then right afterwards, use ice packs to lock it in.

That's also a great deal you got! When I picked up Ozzies Jetta today, they charged me $440 inc GST for reparing the rear bumper, painting and clearcoating it, remounting the sideskirts, painting the 4mo valence, and painting the hood filler thingy!!!
