Default Performance Car Stores?

I live in Hoffman Estates IL which is a Northwest suburb of Chicago. I would like to find a place that could lower the car and tint the windows. I would also like to find a carbon fiber hood too if that's possible. So far I haven't had any luck other than Car Boutique. I was wondering if anyone might know of any other stores in the area.

Thanks

Yeah, I'll definately be at the meet. I found the springs I want which will lower the car 1.8" front and rear from fujiz.com. I'm just alittle worried about getting them in time for the 23rd. But yeah, I'm extremely excited about getting this done. I just bought the car last week, so it'll be awesome to have it lowered so quickly.

Thanks a ton, and I'll see you guys on the 23rd
