Default Looking for Quality Shop to Install Body Kit and Repaint Car

Hey, I looked through the reviews sticky but most of the suggestions were for dealerships and tuning and performance shops, not exterior jobs.

I'm trying to find a shop that is really good at what they do. I need to get a body kit installed as well as my entire car repainted. There are a couple other things too, LSD doors, Seibon CF hood and Nismo spoiler. I'm just afraid of spending thousands at the wrong place. This happened to my brother. His paint job came out with tiny bubbles all over and he ended up selling his car.

I'm in South Jersey closest to Wilmington Delaware, but I can drive to another state if necessary. I'm looking for the best job possible and will pay to get it done right. Does anyone know anywhere I can take it to get all this done?

Thanks, do you know if they have a website? I don't see one listed on Google Maps. I wanted to see if they have a gallery of previous cars they've done. And if anybody knows any other places, please post them so I can compare them, thanks again!

Metro is way overpriced - and word is they aren't all they used to be.

Did they put your kit on too or just the paint job?

Lol, that's fine. I don't mind the drive as long as they do my stuff right. I'd drive to Florida if I knew it was the only good shop.

^^yes the OP is from south jersey however he gave the impression that he would be willing to drive a certain distance to whichever shop would perform the best work. a bodyshop in the philly area would be ideal and convenient for him but i don't think it would hurt that we provide him with other options since that is what he is asking for in the first place.

DTT may not be the best bodyshop in NJ but i'm happy and satisfied with the work they did for me.
