Default Any good body shops in VA/DC/MD area????

hey guys, i am gettin my kit soon and i need a good body shop! i THOUGHT i found one.. but they r tryin to charge 1800 for my friends S2000 kit.. and since i have a full bumper more than him i cant imagine what they'll try to charge me! so if anyone knows a good shop that does fiberglass kits i would appretiate it!! i dont wanna take it to just anyone cause im sure it'll need some adjustments here and there.. so anyways... thanks!

Spectrum Collision in Arlington, VA does real quality work. They have a process for coding parts on your car, disassembling, doing the repair properly and then reassembly. They do collision and restoration. The owner will happily explain it to you if you stop by. I'd go there for quality or a spray and mask place if you want quick and cheap. If they were a garage I would trust them to torque things down to spec if you catch my drift.
