Default Suggested paint/body shop in SGV?

Can anyone suggest a good paint/body shop with experience on the 350Z in the San Gabriel Valley area? I'm looking to put a blitz spoiler on my 07 soon and I'd like to get the paint and install figured out before I purchase it. Thanks in advance.

Just DO NOT go to Expo Auto in El Monte. I took my car there for some work from an accident and I had bad overspray on my wheels and all over my car. I also found my suspension was not correctly installed.

Whatever you do, do not go to JT Auto in Rosamead...they suck *****. The bodyshop that i go to is called 2020 autobodytech off the 60 freeway and azusa. It's in the city of industry. They do a fukcin good job...trust me. They also painted the falken g35 drift car. They are good stuff. Call them, and ask for David

According to DTM, they've never worked on that black G. They've only had in one black G35 in 2007 and they did a color change on it.

I've had great luck with McCurdy's in Pasadena for painting and crash repair, but I don't know how much body kit work they do.

Thanks for the input everybody... some research turned up an Evo-R replica that comes painted in the OEM paint... does anybody have any experience with it or any other Evo-R products? Might save me some money and time...
