    Good place to get Body parts installed in West LA, Downtown area

    Does anyone know a good reasonable place to get body parts installed. I asked my dealer about installing carbon mirror covers and they quoted me 750. I need a decently priced place that does good work in the West los angeles, downtown, west hollywood area.

    thanks

    Don't know about pricing, but the most qualified R8 collision center in SoCal is reputed to be DC Autocraft in Burbank. They can of course assemble / disassemble just about any body part. (818) 846-5032, ask for Sean.

    I had my SF bay area dealer do it for about $500 and I don't think labor rates in LA and SF are that different. Check some other LA Audi dealerships. OEMPlus also says they can do it but have no idea what they would charge.

    Go to a decent, independent, body shop or mechanic, preferably with the printouts from ELSAWIN in hand showing the relatively simple procedure and get it done.

    I don't see why this should be so expensive.
