Don't have a recommendation for you, but I would avoid shops in NYC. Maybe there are some good ones, but every one I've visited is, at the very least, kind of filthy and disorganized, FWIW. I like a nice, clean shop—and when I need work I head to the 'burbs.

If you haven't found a place yet:

Check out Kenny Hynes of Audio XTC Inc in Deer Park LI. Tell him Krysy sent ya. I used to work with him at the shop and he has done one of my show cars.
Kenny: (516) 702-1130/ audioxtc@aol.com
www.audio-xtc.com

or

Danny's Auto Body - Ask for Don Peters. Tell him Krysy sent ya. He also has painted a lot for me and my old shop. I have sent a lot of Celica owners his way.

Good Luck with it, I am glad I could be of some help. I am sure you'll be impressed with both Kenny & Don's work! Hope you wind up going with one of them. If you check over on newcelica.org on the NE board, there are a few threads about Danny's and how good he does.

Kenny would most likely do the nitrous set up if he's not slammed right now with work. He's really talented, and backs up his work.

For Danny's this information is really old but this is what I have:
