Default Body Shop for Custom Work

I'm looking for a body shop to do some custom work on my SC300 in a month or so. Work will include molding an Autocouture body kit, painting a carbon-fiber hood and installing flush hood pins, and custom flaring the rear fenders.

I'm located in CT but I'm willing to drive as far as NJ or NH to find the right shop. This place (http://www.azevedomotorsports.com/v/body/) looked promising but a google search revealed lots of unhappy customers (some that even took legal action).

Anyone have any place that they have had a good experience with that does custom work?

Just wanted to say thanks for the responses. I asked around a lot and looked at a lot of shop's work. I ended up settling on Dreamakers. My car is there now - I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
