Good person / place for body work in the Seattle area? I am in need of some minor body and paint work on my car. I was wondering if anyone knows a good person or shop to do this in the Seattle area. I know a good collision shop in Bellevue, but since this won't be an insurance job I'm wondering if there's someone else out there who people know and does good work.
What I'm looking to have done (and don't give me an opinion on this) is have a set of the Y3f ground effects painted and put on my car. Additionally I have some damage from a hit and run that I'd like to get fixed. In all it'd be the front and rear bumpers needing work and then the Y3F parts. If that helps.
Any suggestions welcome.

So an update on this. For the body damage any shop will do that work, but the issue for me has been finding someone willing to paint and put on my Y3F pieces. Most shops won't because the part is used and they can't warranty it. The one place I did check out in Bellevue, which I won't name, that specialized in body kits and custom paint seemed like a good option. That kind of work is the shop's specialty, but the guy pretty much told me I didn't look like I had the money for them to do my work, so rather than getting an idea of my budget he just blew me off. I guess if you have M6's, Lambo's, and Ferrari's parked out front you don't need business.
