philly guys- custom body work

alright, so ive been to maybe 6 or 7 body shops so far to see if anyone will shave the emblem on my evo 8 front bumper. nobody will do it. does anyone know of a shop in the philly area who is willing to take on a seemingly simple project? im trying to stay local so i dont have to drive aroudn for a long time, or far distance without a front bumper.

ideally im looking to shave the emblem ad then get a do luck style lip color matched. i think it would look sick.

thanks for the help

Matt, I'm thinking about cutting the triangle when the emblem is just like you. The only guy I trust to do this lives and works in Atlanta though. If you decide to go with a IX bumper instead, let me know what you want for your 8 bumper. This guy works on the Tasso Racing (spelling) ferraris so I know he can do bodywork!

I'm pretty sure I have a buddy that can take care of that. I will talk to him this week are you good without your bumper for a couple days cause he would have to work on it at night.

Yea I will check with him and show him some pics to make sure he can do it. He is a old school hot rod guy with 30+ years of experience so it shouldn't be a problem.
