Default Installing front OEM GFX at GOOD SHOP in L.A?

Hey guys,
wondering if you guys knew a good inexpensive shop to have install my front gfx... i want to do it myself but dont have a lift or rhino ramps to use, and dont want any gap issues with the fittment ... heck if any of you've ever even done it locally and wanna help out a newbie with suggestions or actual help, that would be tight.

It's a real simple installation really. I thought I couldn't do it but I was too lazy (and cheap) to go to a shop to have it installed so I just put it on one Saturday afternoon.

If you really need clearance, just jack up one side of the car and go to work - just basically screw the OEM one out and clipped/screwed the GFX lip on. Shouldn't take more than an hour even if you've never installed anything before.

Good luck and you'll pat yourself on the back when it's on and looking sexy!
