Dave Powell Customs in Nazareth would be able to do it easily... He did the orange IS-F with the bodywork for SEMA. It has the Fox Marketing logo on it. You might have seen pictures....

These guys did my TSX a few years back and if I was still in PA I would absolutely have them do my F hands down.

Be extremely careful with whoever you take it to. I had a shop do mine, cracked the paint. 400$ later it's fixed but makes me wish I would have spent a little extra time and taken it to someone who i was certain could do it right.

Well I called around a couple of places and it seems that the going rate to do this is about 50-60 dollars a side. No one could guarantee me that the paint wouldn't crack which i expected. I'm still on the fence if I should/need roll my rear fenders. I will be running a 11" wheel with a 275/30/20 tire in the back and I will be lowering it on BC coilovers. Slight drop in the back maybe 1/2 inch. I guess I will wait to see once installed.

50-60 dollars a side seems really cheap to me. The guy I talked to was more like 150-200 a side but he guaranteed his work. If he cracked the paint he said he'd repaint it for free.
On an 11" wheel wouldn't you want at least a 285 even 295....
