Cosmetic work, shop recommendation?

I have a "non-car guy" friend with a 2010 Altima. He wants to get HIDs and a trunk spoiler of some kind installed. Do you guys know of any shops that specialize in this type of work?

Re: Cosmetic work, shop recommendation?

is it a trunk spoiler from the factory? wiring with LEDs? And, HID kit? If so, I can do these. I have worked on cars for years at dealerships, and things like that trunk wing, they give you templates, for the holes to drill.

I do, I did, and will again once this snow is gone. Doesn't mean I'm not fully capable of doing something on the side.

Those seem like fairly easy installs. I am guessing many places/people could do them for him. You shouldn't need a specialty/custom shop to install them.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.

Since when did you become a forum sponsor? Unless of course you're offering to work for beer/pizza

Re: Cosmetic work, shop recommendation?

I just thought there might be a shop or two in town that does tinting or other cosmetic stuff that might be appropriate. This guy is an aerobics instructor and the thought of him wielding a wrench is downright comical, otherwise I'd suggest DIY.

I'll just make a few calls tomorrow.

As far as tinting goes, some best buy locations do it for cheap. I talked to the guy at the one in Blaine and he said they are not able to do illegal tint though.
