Looking for body shop in MD/VA for my E9 Airdam install

[Antar]

Looking for a good shop in the MD/VA area for some light body work to reinstall front chrome bumper & spray and install CS Airdam Polaris Silver. My short term goal is to drive and enjoy the car this summer with recently completed Engine and 5 speed swap and take my time choosing the right shop for body and paint together in the winter. Not ideal doing the engine work before the bodywork but that’s how it went down this year.

Also I need a looking part number or source for the rubber mounts for the front chrome bumper that attach the bumper to the left and right finders. As always I appreciate suggestions.

Thanks,

Antar Johnson

Antar,

Try Auto Dent Care Inc in Rockville @ 5410 Randolph Rd, Rockville, MD 20852 @ (301) 881-8080.

I had my 73 e9 taken down to bare metal at their shop in 2016, solely due to the fact that Lothar Schuettler* takes his vast BMW collection to them.

* His 1937 BMW 328 wins Best in Class at Pebble Beach

* He has a large two story barn https://docplayer.net/33702689-Lothar-schuettler-restorer-and-collector-of-vintage-bmw-cars-and-motorcycles-with-an-incredible-passion-for-originality-and-perfection.htm filled with his collection, easily worth $15-25 million.

Thanks again Richard. Lothar's collection of Classic BMW's is legendary indeed. Auto Dent Care Inc is only 20 mins away I will check them out to for availability this winter for my down to the metal paint job.

Dramatically changes the look of the old girl.

Definitely more agressive.

Got a side shot of the driver's side? Looks like from that angle that the left side of the bumper is a bit cockeyed and reaching for the moon a bit. No?

Thanks, It definitely changes the look of my old ride. I’ll have to take a look at that bumper on the drivers side. I had the installer make some minor adjustments on Friday before I picked up the car. Perhaps, I will have them make a few more adjustments. I was just happy to finally get the airdam and bumper installed , and be able to drive it especially before the holiday on Tuesday.

Rob, checked the bumper fender bolt is missing from the drivers side. I can’t believe it fell out, already, I’ll have to get a replacement to help keep the bumper straight. Good eye on that, thanks.
