Default Getting some work done in November

I'm going to be in some money in November and plan on getting a few things added/fixed on the S. I was hoping you guys had some recommendations for where I should go.

Body stuff:
Shave front emblem
Fix fender (I dropped a ladder on it, creases and dings. A friend who's an insurance guy quoted $600ish)
Install OEM rear spoiler (lip type)
J's or ASM rear overfenders (I want them painted and installed)

Non-body:
Koni/GC install
Toda clutch flywheel

I was thinking MRD (Millennium) in Portsmouth for the clutch and suspension.

If you guys know some good places, I'm quality>price but I don't want it to go overboard. The clutch and suspension stuff isn't a hard install, but I'm not capable of doing the clutch and honestly don't trust myself doing the suspension.... I've done it on half a dozen cars. I'm in Hampton Roads and prefer to stay near by.

I just want the stuff dialed in right.

The reason I'm spending and not saving is because I have a guaranteed job (assuming I don't hurt myself) in 19months, I'm paying off all my debt, when I get out law school will be paid for, and I'm putting a chunk in a CD at 4.5% for five years.... for when I'm done playing army. They'll also pay for school. So I'll have some money working for me, be getting paid, and have school paid for. So I think I should reward myself with some stuff for the car....

I've had very good experience with Knox automotive center for body work. I've used them about six times now. Talk to Robert.

For mechanical I would either go to All Aspects Motor sports or Accuracy Automotive. The clutch job is not easy and definitely won't be cheap.
