San Antonio Body Shop Recommendations
My front bumper is a little banged up with some spider cracks in it that need to be fixed and repainted. I am still on the fence as to doing a wide body (maybe widebooty only?) conversion so I need some recommendations on a good body shop in San Antonio.
I went and got a quote from Caliber Collision and they wanted $850 to fix my bumper alone. $200 of that quote was to remove the clear bra which seemed like a rip off to me considering I went home and removed it with a blow drier in less than an hr. When I mentioned maybe doing a conversion kit the lady didn't give me warm fuzzy feeling about doing aftermarket conversions even though it would likely be GM parts made to bolt on.
I figured someone on here would have some good recommendations.

I have mixed opinions about Lethal...they did a great job on the install of my mods (headers / CAI) but their dyno tune was a joke. They charged me $400 for a 30 minute engine tune which I had re-done by a way better tuner. The new tuner basically told me I got ripped on the tune and then went through it line by line in EFI Live with me as to why it was junk. The other tuner spent over an hr with me on the road making sure I got what I wanted; did engine and A6 trans tunes.
Both tuners / shops are forum vendors here to be fair. If all else fails I will give them a buzz.

I understand yall like LP tunes and that is fine with, no need to start a flame war just told my own experience with them wasn't too great on that one thing. I know they have put out some nice cars at their shop and maybe when I want to get a Supercharger I will call them up.
Thanks for not turning this in to a meet me at the track war.
