Many would probably recommend JT Autostyle down on Garvey in Rosemead. They are probably the most known, and reputable custom fab bodywork shop around, and much of their work is seen in a lot of cars you see in like Super Street mag. But be ware, I have seen some pretty sh!ty work of theirs along with the good work.

They're expensive though. I'd check out Auto Explosion in Gardena.
www.autoexplosion.net Auto Explosion has been doin ALOT of nice show cars lately and they're pretty reasonable.

20/20 Autobody in Industry...they're expensive too, but they're real good. They did my car. www.2020autobodytech.com

J&S Xtreme in Covina

Oh yeah, forgot about 20/20 auto. :) Good looking out!

Hey Silver, have you been to Kreative? Just wondering since they're right down the street from JT. Well, maybe a few miles. I'm getting my body work done up here, but if I was going to go back to LA, I would DEFINITELY go to Auto Explosion. I like going to JT just to look at the cars thoughs. LOL The last time I went, they had a civic with the IS300 headlights and the Mercedes taillights. Pretty crazy:)

I've heard of Kreative, but I hear you can only get their work if you let them stitch their logo into your seats. :( I also hear Apollo is good as well. There's a place in La Puente called Garza's Upolstry which is the place Silverbolt went to, to get his interior done at. Isn't Kreative up Garvey over in El Monte or something?

have u guys heard of monkycustoms i got a hell of a price form them
:D

Silver-yeah it's up Garvey...like if you come out of JT and take a right, it's up past I think San Gabriel. I got my interior done there and they didn't do the stitching of their name. Apollo is hella good too, but they're a little more. It was kind of cool; I went to check them out one time and we're at a stoplight on Valley. I see this yellow hatch with an intercooler and when we get up closer, we could see that it was LJ's. I just thought it was cool seeing it parked out on the street as opposed to seeing it at a car show.

jdpfman-Actually a friend of mine up here in NoCal...she's originally from LA...is really good friends with the guys there. Hmm...Is there a guy named Angel that works there?

ya the owner is named angle. hey maybe she could get me a better deal:D

LOL...yeah maybe. What did you get a price on?

i want to do a conversion on the front lights and rear lights. i want to put the rsx lights on it. im thinking about doing the bumper also.

You wanna put RSX headlights and taillights?

yup thats what i want to do. :D

You're gay:rolleyes: Hahaha...just joking man:D Hmm...They do the body work there too? What was the price they gave you, and was it for the parts and labor?

damm lol
its 800 for labor and i need to get the lights. what do u think about the price ? what do u think about the lights ? :bandit:

$800 for a headlight and taillight conversion?!?!? If that's the price they gave you, that's hella cheap!!! Most shops charge about $1,500 for a headlight or taillight conversion. The RSX headlights should look hella tight, but I'm not real big on the tails. I mean, I'm not saying they'll look bad, but they're...well I don't know. I'd have to see them again. Anyway, where do you plan on getting the lights?

damm thats another thing:confused: i need to look for a good deal. u know any one or place that has them for a good price. i am thinking about the jdm ones.

Well for USDM ones, I'd just say the dealer, but I might be able to get them for a better price. I'll check tomorrow.
