    Default body shop recommendations wanted

    I'm interested in getting rough estimates for some conversion work I want done. Nothing that hasn't been done before to some extent, although possibly not on my model. I'm looking for recommendations for shops that people have had good experiences with personally, that can do custom sheet, glass and fiberglass.

    Important issues for me are quality of workmanship (obviously), and professionalism of the staff (ie job is done close to the eta given, good customer communication etc). Price is a factor, but would only be used to make a final decision if the the best choice isnt obvious from the above criteria.

    Thanks for any help you all can give me.

    I did. And if I wanted rust repairs, dent repairs, or a fresh from the box body kit installed, I would have had my answer. I only asked because the previous questions weren't what I needed to know; I certainly didn't do it to tick anybody off.

    If I missed a thread that already dealt specifically with custom-from-scratch body fabrication I sincerely apologize as I know how irritating it is to read the same sets of questions and answers over and over. I honestly didnt find anything relevant by searching.

    RPM's had my friend's WRX in their shop for 2 months already

    They promised him that it would be finished in a week
    He was getting a cf hood, headlights, radiator and a kit.. a month after he brought it in they told him that they coudln't get those parts..
    My friend told them to just put it back to stock and they told him it'd be done in 2 weeks
    We went there on tuesday and all they had done is taken off the front bumper, nothing painted
    and they told him it was supposed to be done that day..
    now they're saying it'll take another week
