Where's a good body shop in (or near) Orange County?

Topic pretty much explains it... I got my ABK Ken Style Kit from StradaUSA, their USA distributor... looks beautiful... but now I need someone to put it on without ripping me a new butthole, which, I'm aware, body shops like to do.

Does anyone know of a good body shop in the OC area that could give me a good deal on this? Or has anyone here locally installed their own body kit that would be up to doing it with me?

Thanks a lot guys!

do it yourself...as long as it's painted the same color as your car then all you have to do is install it...

i did my entire install in like 2 hours, very simple with the right tools.

now THAT'S the kind of motivation i need to do it myself!!!

chris... could you give me some pointers, or point me towards a walkthrough that someone may have already put together?

i imagine i'm going to have to 1) primer (don't think i'll have to sand) 2) paint (do you know someone with an airbrush gun? is that what i should use?) 3) drill holes for fitment (got any pointers on this aspect? maintaining structural integrity and assuring a good fit?)

... it really seems a little daunting for me... i've never undertaken a project like this, and i don't have the tools to do so.

I'd love to do it though, if someone were willing to do it with me! Compensation would surely be in order!!!
