Default I need a good body shop in the Tampa Bay Florida area

I have a couple of small scratches that are too deep for buffing or scratch remover, one on my door and one on my front bumper. I can't afford to have both panels re-painted right now, can anyone recommened a good body shop in the Tampa Bay area that will do an ultra high quality touch-up job?

I got good service at my dealer of all places. Ferman Nissan on Fletcher Ave. I scuffed my lower front bumper (at 73 Miles!) They fixed it to the point where I couldn't tell anything happen. Cost $200 but was worth it.

Contact Lynda Farmer. She and the crew did a good job on my Nismo wing install also. (their first).

BlackFLZ: That sounds a lot more reasonable than the $841 estimate I got from Salemi's. I know that they're supposed to be the best shop in Tampa but IMO that's ridiculous!

I ordered the Langka kit a few days ago... I figured for $40 it's worth a shot before I lay down all that cash to fix two sratches less than an inch long. If anyone is interested, I'll post before and after pics of the repair.
