Honcura
561 Vine St. (just off the 5 freeway, not far from the Galleria)
Glendale, CA 91204
818-243-1989
Stan runs a small Honda/Acura only shop. Another member had him put in a CAI, for less than $60, IIRC.
Another option:
Gilbert Motor Service
1919 W. Valley Blvd. (just east of Fremont Blvd.)
Alhambra, CA, 91803
(626) 282-0644
Darren @ Gilbert works on any import; I saw him work on a modded TSX a few months back.
Both shops are open on Saturdays.
Welcome to AZ.

Nope, just installation. I searched for like a week, and it was the cheapest place I could find that was reputable. Platinum motorsports wanted to charge me $350 for the same thing.

How about a body shop in so cal? I have enough scratches on my rear bumper that touch up paint is not gonna do it. I went to my local shop but got quoted $800 for a repaint of the rear bumper. Seems high to me.
