Gt motoring and touge factory is who I would recommend. Dont go to someone who hasn't done an s2000 before. Also don't be surprised if there is paint chipping.

A good job will look oem from the outside.

If they don't use a heat gun on the paint before they start rolling the fenders stop them and make sure they do, or go somewhere else. You can't let them go crazy either or it will burn the paint. It will greatly decrease the amount of paint chipping.

There is a mechanic in Milwaukee, WI that has done a lot of cars if you're intersted in making the drive I can get you his contact info, no idea what he would charge.

^yea, they will all chip no matter how much heat. Just make sure to touch up paint after.

Also have your alignment setting done beforehand and bring your rims and tire with so they know how much to roll.
