Wide bodie frs in San Diego?

What’s up guys? I’m wondering if there are any wide body frs in San Diego that ya either installed it themselves or at a shop. I’m currently bought a wide body but not sure if I want to do it myself or not. If there’s a good shop that y’all recommend, that would be great. If you guys have any positivity on doing it yourself, I’m more than interested in knowing. Thanks guys!

If your not sure, get a shop to install it. (Especially if its a replica, as the kit WILL require shaping)

5532 Motorsports, Jen does alot of body work herself. thats just about the only one i would choose. or rather, ask them if they got anyone

also, Jen comes across as crude. just imagine how many cheapsakes they get through their door. if you want it done right, theyd be the ones to talk to

Havent gotten any work done here but was planning on having stuff done at this shop (el cajon) autofashion uses them and have said that for paint matching jaymer is the best.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BeJrhWcBsKr/

they have pretty good reviews on yelp and that red frs in that ig link was what sold me.

have also considered 2m autowerks off miramar rd. they've painted and repaired ryan tuercks red gt4586

https://www.instagram.com/p/BdgZMb0hmdD/

i've gotten work done at chapparone autobody in kearny mesa after a minor collision. they did a pretty good job replacing my front bumper, pass front wheel and minor suspension bits. i think they currently have the highest rated yelp review for sd autobody shops and you tend to see fancy bmws, audis, lexus getting work done there as well
