Shop for wheels, tires, and front bumper fix in Bay area?

Hi all, I'm visiting from the dc area and am looking for a shop recommendation for the things in the title of the thread.

I decided it would be a good idea to push over a chain link fence with my car... It was not. The bumper is generally fine, but is a bit loose on the left side of the car.

Thanks!

That's normal for the bumper to be loose. It happens to most owners. Don't worry the car is still strong enough to chop a deer in half.

For wheels and tires recommendations, I'd hit up Elite Performance in Burlingame. They may have wheels in stock and tires could be a day's turnaround depending on the werehouse. Full tire mounting/balancing as well as alignment (if you want to OEM settings and/or recommend one for your use of the car).

As for bumper fix, body shops are a dime a dozen however, have you looked at the bumper quick release system? If you don't have substantial bumper damage, it could be an inexpensive option. DIY system as well. http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/move...l#.Vy4H3BaCOgE

for visiting.
