I've had my marga hills kit for about two years now and it needs to be returned to body shop again for the fourth time. Now shes got a crack symetrical on the bumper on the either side. The cracks are in X form and suggest that a bolt underneath pushed up or the bumper settled down too much. I'm getting sick of repairing and spending $$$ on the body work. I know I know...get rid of the kit but I actually love the way kit looks. So the questions (and I know this has been visited before) are:

Where is the best body shop in Maryland/Virginia? (and I mean the best)
How can I prevent the body from cracking? (never hit or scraped once in itz life)

I don't know if they are "THE BEST", but I've taken my car, my gf's car and three of my friends cars for body work, paint and body kit modification to Body Shop Bob's in Finksburg, MD.. It's right off Rt 140. They guarantee paint matching. They definitely take the time and do the job right. Go see Bob DeBow (the owner)... You can mention that Evan Gittler with S2000 sent ya.

A bodyshop that knows to use a flexible additive on composite body work would be the best.

 

The BEST body shop in the DC metro area is Wagonwerks in VA. The are extremely expensive (on average 3x higher than other body shops) but when they are finished with your car is will be perfect. There is a long wait to get your car in too. They primarily specialize in German cars but will work on others as well

 

Do you know if the body work, after they work on it, would actually crack? I heard that the fiberglass shrinks and stretches depending on the weather. Not to mention with the hard TEIN suspension, the bounce it would have to go through on just everyday driving. I just want to get this body thing solved once and for all. I don't want to have to go back to a body shop unless I did something stupid.
