Question Body shop in St. Louis

You guys who've had or are looking into body work done in STL whats the best place to go for installation/painting of body kits?

I've been to Fantasy Coachworks in south county, they don't do body work, but I'm looking into them putting in my springs and exhaust. Can I do better than them?
Eibach sport kit installed they quoted $600

Is there a cheaper place, or should I just check out Maaco?

BTW for tint I reccomend Tintcrafters on Manchester, got a coupon from Dobbs got my 15% tint in for $210. They did great work, have a great guarantee and service was fast.

I have had work done there. J.C Painted my entire hearse for a VERY fair price. He does a ton of body kits on the local imports. What I like about his is that he doesn't just slap on the body kit and paint it. He takes the time to line up all the components so they fit right and match the contours of the car. The extra steps taken really does make a difference in the finished product.
