body shop for wing repair?

Anybody know of a body shop in New England that could do a solid job with the repairs (strip/clean/re-clear) on my CF wing ('03 VIII) that Mitsu will not cover?

I'd rather not have to ship the wing for fear of shipping damage (plus the drama that goes with filing a claim against a shipping company) and the costs involved beyond the repair work.

Shoot me a PM with suggestions about a shop or post it here for everyone in the same boat I am currently in.

Thanks in adavance,
Coach

Someone throw me some info please.

Thanks.

There is indeed a thread in the "How to" section but unfortunately, I have neither the time (I work in higher ed and school is starting now), the space (my complex is uber strict about working on the car on site), the gear (my tools and such are still in storage from my last move), nor the skills to do this job right.

sp00lin2g- You have pm. Let me know.

Any one know a body shop in the NJ area that can re-clear a wing? All the shops i went to say they can't fix it, but they also have never tried before.

Seriously, I'd hate to see some of the work coming out of those shops. Any body shop worth 2 ***** should be able to fix a faded without a second thought

They basically tell me its down to the carbon fiber and cant do it, but of course they offer to just paint it black for me, no dice.
