Looking for GOOD CUSTOM body shop in Los Angeles

People have said Autowerks was nice, but they stopped doing custom work. I'm looking for someone to help with a mild widebody kit in the rear... just a bit beyond fender rolling. I had a couple places flake already, and I don't want to play games.

I'm actually in the valley / 818... but would go where ever it took to get a decent job done!

Thanks for any help!

Loren

Check w/ Mike @ MVDesignz in Santa Ana 714 554 2728....awesome work. Many NSX guys (mine incl.) have custom work done there.

yeah, no, they were the worst flakes of all. Took pics of my car and everything, and forgot to get back to me for a MONTH (ignoring my calls too). And I was a referral from the owner's friend to boot...

They seriously suck rod, no matter how nice their high end car inventory might seem.

What about LA Rims? They are off of Highland Ave near the 101. They do some good work there.
