Ask for Fabio tell him Jon in the Silver Maxima sent you. If he dad Vito picks up just ask to speak to Fabio anyways. He dad is getting rather old at this point. Fabio is a great guy. Shop doesn't look like much but he sprays lambos to pintos. Good price, great guy, good work. If you are in Waltham then you might as well go to him. I've brought many of my cars there and recommended plenty of people and never heard of a bad experience.

He knows me as Jon in the Silver maxima as I havn't had an accident and needed to bring any of my BMWs there. Otherwise he will know me as Jon with the BMWs.

New Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 - The finest non studded winter tire! - YouTube

I've been running Nokain winters since 2008 (First RSis, now R2s). Tremendous speed rated snow tire. Wouldn't recommend anything else.

Anyone here running the alpina transmission tune that wants to help me reprogram mine? I am sure I could do it myself but I'm a little gun shy and havent gotten the software set up yet.

Just met with Fabio, dropped of the bumper. I got quoted for 250$ which was sounded good to me. Took my headlight washer tab though so they can color match better.

He usually chargers around $250-$300 per panel/part which I think is fair.

Fabio should be in sales, he just makes you like him. Very friendly.

I'll probably have Fabio do my spoiler and other stuff next year, he isn't close to me anymore but I know I can trust him.

Extremely friendly. Gives off a very good vibe. Probably have him do my fenders if I do decide to get m3 reps.

It looks good overall. There was a drip or blotch at the bottom where no one could see unless you were under the car and a small drip near the vent which was also not visible unless you inspected it by touch. Overall for the price it was worth it. Pictures up later.
