Default Good body shops in SoCAL?

I just got a lip kit: front, rear, and sides. Just wondering if anybody knows of a good and cheap reliable body shop that does painting and install well. Thanks

I'd be interested in knowing also. Just scraped up the side of my lower front bumper and was thinking of getting the front lip.

Longo Collision Center! Best service and quality. I was referred to them by T-Rex06. I had my front bumper, lip and side skirts painted there. color match was great.

Give Makito a call over at Shine Auto. His pricing is very competitive and his work is DA SHIZZZZ. He's a one man show so it might take a little longer than other shops, but worth the wait most definitely.

His number is 310-972-8529. Tell him Vinh sent you. He's usually at the shop till 9ish so feel free to call him at until then.

Thanks for that. Do you remember what you paid and did you get it installed there?

I agree with Vinh on this one. I had my kit fitted, painted, and installed by Makito. Quality work when he was independent out in Norwalk! He knows what he's doing for sure.

Oh crap, I didn't know Tommy installs kits too! Tommy never ceases to amaze me with the stuff he knows!
