Body mods in Los Angeles?

[barbados]

Hi everyone,

I'm brand new to the site. First time Honda owner, I have a modern steel metallic 2016 EXT coupe...loving it so far. I want to do some pretty simple exterior modifications, I was wondering if anyone here has recommendations on where to get these done in Southern California.

Here's what I want to do:
1. Replace the hood with a hood with scoop ala the type R ( what can I say, I like hood scoops but can't afford a type R
2. Replace my chrome grill with a black one
3. Add a rear spoiler

I know these aren't very difficult, but I have no mechanical skills, so would need a shop that could get the parts, paint them to match my car and install them, without overcharging me too much. There are tons of places here in Socal but don't know where to start.

Thanks for any info!

sadly the type R hood will not fit on our cars

OMG, really?! I had no idea that the hood wouldn't fit my Civic coupe. Well, that definitely changes the plan a bit...thanks so much for that info.

ProCivic has few carbon fiber hoods for the coupe, if you're into that.

There is a Type R CF style hood for the regular range. I think Seibon makes it. You can find the black grille and a spoiler to suit you on EBAY or one of the vendors on here.

Hit up Tommy at Music Box in South El Monte. All the ClubLexus guys go to Tommy for all kinds of installs. He’s quick and relatively cheap.

Thanks to everyone for the info and suggestions! Hope to do these mods, at least the grille and spoiler, in the next month or 2.
