Body kit install and paint
I recently purchased a WALD kit for my 97 black sc300 and I'm looking for a good reputable shop to put on the body kit (I hear the wald kit takes a little work and effort to get on to fit right) for me and also get a exterior paint job.
I'm located around the Northridge area, but don't mind driving down to the Irvine area or anywhere between since I'm in Irvine basically every weekend.
I'm sure there are many threads on here about autobody shops, but I'm looking just for any body shop around the area. I'm hoping that a CL member will help me out with a great place with a great price that he or she is affiliated with.
So who has the hook-ups?
Thanks in advance.

Sixteen Customs does good work. They stay relatively busy, so you'll need to schedule a time for your car. Their prices are relatively higher, but so is the quality of their work. They specialize in many types of cars, but they have their roots in lowriders. Any lowrider paint shop is usually top notch...japanese lowrider paint shop =
Y&S, also in the South Bay is very good as well. They do all of the paint and body work for most of the South Bay luxury car dealerships. They were able to accurately color match the paint on my mom's old jag when it had an accident. (jags have a very rugged painting/coating process compared to other cars, so they can be hard to color match for metallics)
