1306 callen st.
vacaville ca 95688
chico lara is the guy I normally deal with.
when I use to live in the penninsula I would take my car down to mt. view but I forget the name now haven't been to the shop in a long time but they also do very good. It takes about a week for them to paint the lip I normally just leave the stuff with them since I don't have an extra car the lip will actually be done this friday. I do the install myself since it's a really easy install. Just two bolts on each side of the bumper and thats it. I think the shop in mt. view is called sams autobody. But it's owned by a viet guy so show him cash and he will give you a hella good deal.
