all i can say is good luck. body shops in chicago suck!
i just got my brand new 05 sti rear ended. and i am just going to settle for a shop that does a lot of insurance work. its just decent work

 

pm'ed joo bout mah experiencez

 

sucks about your car, good luck.

 

It's not the North Shore, but they do excellent work and worth the hassle of getting the car out to Barrington. The shop is Body Shop of Barrington. They work on really high end cars (Ferraris, Lotus, Lambo, etc.).

They have a healthy list of clients in Benzes and Beamers. I got my S2000's cf Mugen hood repainted there along with other custom work. If you want to see the quality of how my car turned out, IM me and I'll be up for showing you.

They are a bit on the expensive side, but if you want quality work, it's the place to go. Talk to Paul, he's the owner.

BTW, I suggest staying away from the "import tuner" body shops (you know, those out in Skokie, Schaumburg, Streamwood, and Chicago). If you want names IM me...if you want actual proof of the work that was done, I can show you as well (on my BMW and my S2K).

 

Like Luder mentioned, Body Shop of Barrington is a good shop. Paul is a great guy. I've had them do both dent and paint work in the past. Nothing but positives from me.
Also, just around the corner from Body Shop is Barrington Coach Haus. It's another great shop. I've had two cars there in the past for paint work and they currently have our S2000. Chuck is the owner and a great guy. Explain to him what your expecting and his response will be that they will keep redoing it until you are satisfied.

Good luck!

 

my shop (paul) lol jk... i called them before.. they said it would cost 3k-3.5k for the conversion...

all of the jdm fronts in this area that i have seen, have flaws!!
