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.
