You want a good reputable body shop and price is not a factor than just open the yellow pages and look up a bodyshop that is liscensed and insured. Take plenty of pics. It isn't hard to find someone who will do a good job, they will charge you though, especially if they know you don't care how much you pay.

No you couldn't have. You would be cutting it close to get a nice system for $760. Let's say you get an intake for $150 and headers for $200. Those prices are fairly low too. That would leave you $410 to buy your "nice" system. $200 for a middle of the line CD Player with decent outputs and good sound quality, then you find a deal on eBay and get 1 mid-to-high level subwoofer for $150 shipped, then you're left with $60 to buy a decent cheap amp and a speaker box. Maybe you build a box for $30 and it looks like crap, unless you're shopping at Wal-Mart or Pawn Shops, you won't find an amp for $30. This is all figured without any tax, shipping(except the subwoofer), and parts to install everything. These days it's hard to build a "nice" system for less than 1G unless you buy everything at Wal-Mart, Garage Sales, Pawn Shops, or ghetto equipment off of eBay.

I would rephrase your quote to say

Shoot, I could have gotten headers, intake, and a blow job for that money...

Let's be fair, That would be 3 great blow jobs with the amount of money left over.

ahah alright i'll retract my statement. buttttt this one shop is telling me to go there, AND they will blend in the door/hood so when they replace and repaint the fender, it will be 100% unnoticeable. $750, i think thats all baloney.
