Best shops in OC

Anyone know some shops that do a lot of WRX work in South Orange County? I'm looking to get a FMIC installed and dont want it done by someone whos never touched a WRX before.

South Coast Subaru was my first choice, but after a quote of $1500 to install it, I think thats a bit of a joke.

I actually called a few other shops and it seems like the cheapest price to get a FMIC installed is about $500.. I went to sears and bought a mechanics tool set for $100 and now I can do my own installs lol.

BTW, I'd like to go to a scoopless hood since I'll be using the FMIC, does anyone know if they are available in carbon fiber? I can just get a 2.5RS hood, but I believe they are made of steel and I really dont want to add unwanted weight to the car.
