any good body shops around the springs?

Install isn't that hard yourself...I did my Mazdaspeed ones myself with a friend. Just use a good body cement like 3M Duramix 40/40

Painting, especially the golden-flake Velocity Red on the 8, is a BITCH. Good luck finding a shop that will match it man!

I gotta say that UPP did a great job with mine. I know they outsource the paint but they installed a new body kit, front fenders, removed some hideous dents and repainted everything and it diffinitely looks better than it did when I bought it. The price was outrageous either. One thing about UPP is you almost always get more for your money. CK throws in free stuff a lot.

Thanks! im gonna call them up.
