Default Anyone know a good body shop?

I just bought a body kit for my tC and was wanting to shop around for a good deal here in Dallas, TX?

what i do to find good places to bring my car to is look up the names of the businesses on the BBB website. It tells me how many complaints were filed against them or if they are a member of the BBB.

I got one quote for $750 and theres another guy wants to see if the body kit needs any extra work before he gives me a quote...

Is this for installation, paint or both? For our celica's body kit we paid a couple hundred bucks to get it painted and put it on ourselves. Do you have a friend or boyfriend or anyone that can help you put the kit on yourself?

Even if I couldn't do it myself I still wouldn't pay that price. Seems outlandish to me.

Hey Thanks Malina for your input....This is for both installation and paint. There will be some molding and they said that they will probably have to repaint both sides of my car so that the paint matches. I have had a body kit put on (a different car) before but it was just a "lip" body kit attachment....I paid $200 to have it painted and screwed on.

So do you think $750 a good price to pay to have the body kit painted and the fenders molded to my car (and possibly both sides of my car repainted)? I have seen this guy's work and he does a good job. (example, he molded a 99' Honda Civic body kit on to his 02' VW Beetle and painted the whole car a burnt orange color--looks nice, paint in good cond. and the body kit looks as if it was made for it)
