Try Marco's Auto Body. Speak to Steve Villanueva or Rose. Phone # 626-309-9100. They are expensive but craftsmanship is first class.

Scott,
I would recommend you spend the money on a camber kit, only because I believe that is the only way to do it correctly. Then you could have Bear Alignment in Monterey Park electronically align you car.
I thought adjustments could not be made on the stock set-up?

thats it bear. Arnold (blkmjk) said they can do it w/ the stock setup by bending something a little bit. ANd then when you go back to stock height they bend it back. I'm not sure exactly what it was. If they really bend it or not. BUt he had it done to his teg and they didn't use a camber kit.

Scott,
If you want the take your chances on bending something that is not suppose to be bent to correct camber, then be advised. Don't do that to your car. That's half ass and your suspension geommetry set-up won't be correct and will never be the same again! It would also void your warranty. Save your money and do it correctly. Your car is too nice to half ass it.

Scott,
In regards to your scratched rim call Truwheel. Not only do they fix rims, but they can paint them as well.

Any serious camber work on the car should be done via a camber correction kit. The car's alignment doesn't have an "adjuster" for camber.

Scott,
We did it to a lot civic's and accord's all the time fifhten years ago, because there were no aftermarket kits available back then. So I know it can be done. Who ever does the job on your car see if you can get a warranty on their work. Good luck.

Scott, just bring it to Bear in Glendora, its right by your school. On Arrow Hwy. between Glendora and Grand. Bear-Monterey alignment charges a lot more, like 2 bills. You can get it done in glendora for like 140 for all 4 wheels. Monterey Alignment charges 2 bills just for the front. Just ask for Gary he'll hook you up.
If you want to bring the wheel to tru-wheel they would have to repaint the whole wheel. It costs about 75 dollars. Just ask for Mike or Sandy. They do good work there, they fixed my racing harts before.
I also got a place for your inner fender shaving. My buddy does a lot of custom body stuff he'll hook you up. I already called him for you. See? Now we're even.

you can also try sprewell racing in the city of san gabriel...right at mission and valley blvds. www.sprewellracing.com
i shaved the rear fender lips on my last two cars, which they did for $100 (including what i am about to post about the fronts), but prepping the front is fairly easy (if it's like all hondas). you basically pull out the plastic pins (save them), relocate the wheel well liner to the top of the metal tabs spaced evenly on the wheel arch, and then bend the tabs upward with a flat and wide instrument.
if you don't want to go to bear, you can try tucker tires in azusa. i was recommended my a honda accord member at sho. i don't recall the cost but it was not that expensive.
