Yeah I have always used A&L Autobody in Palatine, IL. They are known nationally, cars come from all over. They are decently priced. If you go, tell them Mat with the Black C350 and white G35 coupe sent you..ask for Anthony (the son).

or you can go to Autowerks in Northbrook, IL.

I went to them to get my HID kit from DDM installed. They are also a distributor for DDM so they might give you a good deal. A buddy of mine goes there with his Porsche to get work done.
