Best modification workshop - bodyshop in CA

Hello everyone, I am not sure if I am in the right thread, I am just trying hard to get some help from all you Rx-8 Lovers.
I am planning to purchase a 06 or 07 Crystal White Pearl RX-8, Touring Package with all the basics.
What I want to do after that is to total change my Ride, here is a list of what I want to do, but I really need help finding all these parts and MORE IMPORTANTLY a good workshop that has a great reputation and is not too far from where I live.

Modification:
1. Body Kit & Bumpers
2. Exhaust
3. Lights
4. Side Sill & Rear Spoiler
5. Hood
6. Wheel & Tire
7. Interior, DVD, Navigation
8. Windows
More...

Yes I know I will void my warranty, but I cant wait to start building the car I want. I live in southern California, anyone body here had the experience? please give you 10 cents here, it might helps me a ton, I am a totally noob, but I love RX-8 more than my GF.

I just registered today, I know I dont deserve all the help right now. I will try my best to help others, too bad I didn't find this forum earlier enough, it is a very help community. Thank you all for the input, hopefully I can get the answer I want. I want to know where I can locate these workshops, please provide more detail information. Anybody here own or work for a workshop?

this link should have information about performance stuff such as exhausts and intakes: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-aftermarket-performance-modifications-23/
the stickied threads at the top are helpful for a lot of info on parts from different companies

This link should help with body kits and such: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/

This should help with wheels, tires brakes and suspension: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-55/
There are useful threads at the top that tell you lots about different wheels

Good luck with your car, be sure to post pics once you get it and start with aftermarket. I'd recommend spending a good amount of time on this site reading around. There's a lot of great info that will help you out a lot. Welcome to the forums
