Good Body Shops in OC

Can anyone recommend any good body shops in the OC?? PRefer Irvine area or south county if possible... I am willing to pay a little more for a reputable place to install a kit. THanks!

AVOID CARMER. That is my only advice.

Orange coast collision is good, but they were in San Juan Capistrano last i checked

Shot a PM over to Razz1.
He has a nephew that does painting, but I'm not sure if he does body work.
I think he's in OC area.

AL is the guy you want to talk to... ask him about me "NALIN" i know he took pics of my car ask him if you can take a look...i recommend them but be prepared for a high-A$$ price quote.... my veilside didnt fit perfectly he had to make custom fiberglass pieces so it will fit right...

my front didn't fit well the first time. but it was the bodyshops fault. they also jacked my au-to bahn corner brackets.

but wonders what a lil fiberglass + resin could do.. my fitment is like 9/10 now
