Where to get body kit in LA?

Hi, I have my CL for just over a year now, and I hit a stupid pole in the undercover parking lot last year. I didn't think that I will actually bring my car for a body work. Because I run between LA & SF very often. Now, I actually decide to do the body work around. My friend suggested me this place "www.carpainting.com", but since I am going to paint it all over, I wonder it is a good chance for me to get a lips and a spoiler to goes together. Do anyone know where I could find these item in LA area. Also, I want to get some performance mod for the car. I believe I need some advise in suspension system, because I feel the suspension system is kind of too soft for my style, may be because it is just old.... (I bought it at 122K last year and now is already 165K).

LA area, i'm guessing Los Angeles due to the commute between SF, San Francisco i think. WW is located in Rowland heights which isn't too far, but check the...
NOOB GUIDE for easy information, and so ppl don't flame on you. Good Luck!

save your money. there is no body kits out there that even look good to put on. if you want to make your car look clean, go with WW front lip, and for the sides and back. you might want to look for custom ones. but with that much mileage. you might have to save for a tranny. if you have a auto.

Don't know about body kits or lips, but a lot of people in your area go straight to Wings West / VIS to get their lips. Or you can order spoilers and such through ebay or any online parts store, or go to a body shop. As far as suspension and such, please read this guide

I am saving up for a H22 swap....

Thanks for the link to NOOB guide. When I read that reply someone redirect me to NOOB guide. I have no clue and I went to do a google search on that........ The information make me very confuse on what should I do with my suspension now... Anyway, I am actually looking forward to put a H22 with 5 spd there later on.... Because 145hp ..........

Thanks for all your information....

You go and press search button, and type "lip kit", or "lip", or "kit".

If you ask silly questions like these in my home country of Khazakstan, you will be execute
