Looking for a good body shop in Northwest suburbs of Chicago

I was in a 5 car accident on the I-294 on Saturday. I'm fairly OK, some bruises, stiff neck, etc (I will get it checked out today). BTW, I was in my little over 1 month old dark gray GSR

Can you guys recommend some body shop. I attached some pictures of the car after the accident. I think it looks like only the plastic parts will need replacement along with the hood.
Thanks.

I think you are right. I have at least few days to research this, since the guys from insurance will not come out till Thursday...

No, I got all season tires after first snow. Advans are waiting for sunny days and new set of wheels.

Country Side Customs does great work. Bump City on Lake street does great work too. I think they are in Oak Park.

+1 , actually the Rush's(you) told me about dennis and he fixed my rear bumper and rear quarter last month....great quality work. My evo is back in the shop this week bc I rear ended someone monday due to the snow.

Anyhow, he does great work and real cool to evo guys. Plus if he can do work on lambo LP640s then I guess it is good enough for my evo.

call them...BTW glad to hear you are OK, most important thing.

Wow, the damage to your front end looks almost identical to what I had on my GG X back in October. I thought I just needed a front bumper and hood, but the adjuster came back with an estimate of $8400! Got mine fixed at goldcoast in chicago and they did a hell of a job. They're pretty expensive though...hopefully, you don't have substandard insurance on your evo and you can take it to a reputable shop...GL

So far my "guesstimate" was around 8K, I will have to wait till Thursday to find out exactly how much they are willing to pay for it.

Did they have to replace your hood, it is aluminum, so as far as I know they can't make straiten it anymore.
Did they replace your headlights, one of my is chipped.
2 of my airbags went off, the steering wheel and the knee. Plus somehow one of the inside plastic door panels have a hole in it, I guess I hit it with my knee when the airbag went off.
