Mike at IPS in Boston did his and it looks great. I bet you could get it into his shop and have it done.

I know Victor told you WagonWerks...they're really good but you're gonna pay $$$$. I got mine done at Autobody world and total I paid was $2,200. That's paint and installed. No problems whatsoever.

Whoa Mark chill dude...what did I do to you??? He just asked me places that are not that expensive... I have no problem with the conversion. I think they did a good job but the painting is not. I'm just trying to save him some $$$.

I know they're not flawless...

Oh and also, this is my 2nd conversion, the first time i got it done at T&T autobody and they did a better job then autobodyworld. It wasnt perfect but it was still pretty clean. But, as victor said you get what you pay for.

The conversion is not hard to do, i helped my friend do his this summer. The only thing that we didnt do was paint the actual parts as well as welding on the radiator support. Here are some pics before the car got its fresh coat of paint...

rad and paint the panels gonna install the rest myself! (hopefully everything
goes smooth)

Wagon Werks (VA) or possibly some other place that "knows" what they are doing is the best suggestions!

Keep in mind... You do get what you pay for... and shady work could cause you more headaches down the road!
