Just an FYI for anyone local that is looking for a fair price on high quality body work and painting... I would recommended contacting R/TBrian from up in Oconto, WI.
He created and painted my custom front end bumper for the stealth earlier this winter, but unfortuantely the paint didn't match the car. This was NOT his fault as he had the bumper, but no car to match the paint to so we went off the factory code. We knew ahead of time it was a complete gamble, and it didn't work. Again, not his fault. So...
I recently took my car up to him to re-do the bumper, and paint my new fiberglass 575 hood and blend everything into the fender panels. Aside from the painting, he mounted my aerocatch pins, and even went out of his way to create me two seperate hood props that were designed in such a way to not wreck the paintjob in the engine bay that Aaron and I did last winter. In addition, he also fixed up some other small issues with my side skirts and took care of my car like it was his own.
I cannot express my thanks enough for what he did. If you need body work or painting done, consider him. It's well worth it and the price is definitely fair. He redid my front end for much cheaper than the place that re-did it for me two years ago and the quality is just as good. He put a lot of time into fixing some design flaw issues with the 575 and while they were once noticeable, the freakin hood looks like a factory metal hood now. No waves, flaws anything. He really touched it up.
Thanks again Brian. I'm extremely impressed.

Brians work shows in both his car and Christine's as well (black 92 TT and red 92 base stealth). There's nothing extordinary about his car (no body kit for example), just rims and a 97 mitsu spoiler, but the detail of his paint job really grabs your attention. He's also a very standup straight, fair, and honest guy. I'd also strongly recommend him for any body work.
Wish you were closer to PA Brian cuz I have a fresh 3" scratch on my fender I need repaired.

Curt The was the old non-matching paintjob. Since been re-done. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but the body work and construction on the bumper were just incredible to me. It looks OEM. Many moons ago, in a galaxy far, far away -- another dimension in fact -- I had talked with Brian about simply adding a scoop to my stock hood, but he reminded me that is really, really good -- just not a magican. I haven't seen the new paint in person, but the pictures of the hood installed with bumper are incredible. I wish he was closer too. But, if my hood shows up with the same issues that Jesse's had, I'll need directions. Keep up the great work man, you make us all proud. Best, SJ _________________  Racing is life.

Saw it in person yesterday, with the hood and bumper freshly painted.
Outstanding work Brian. That car looks "evil" with that combo...
I've talked to Brian about a few things the past couple years, and he has always been VERY helpful.

Brian's work... Wouldn't you know it. I take it out tonight, drive past a guy cutting his grass and what do I hear? CRACK, BAM! Sound of two good sized rocks hitting my car on the drivers side.  Joy.  _________________ Best in Show - NG07 2010 - 6G74/3.5L E16Gs - 688awhp/679awtq (Race+Meth) 2011 - 6G74/3.5L 68HTAs - 740awhp/762awtq (Race+Meth) 2013 - 6G74/3.5L MTC Stage4 - 908awhp/832awtq (Race+Meth)

PS - I would disagree with your comment Greg about Brian and Christine's car being nothing special. Brian's is one of my personal favorite TT's I've seen in person. It has so many subtle touches that just make the car a level above most others, and Christine has by far the nicest SOHC I've ever seen.
Just my $.02
