CA Looking to have some custom work done

I'm trying to have some small custom fabrication work done on my FC. Things like making new air intake piping that leads to a cool air box, and having some thin sheet panels made to route air more efficiently through the FMIC and radiator.

Looking for a shop that will do decent work in a timely manner that would not charge me an arm and a leg.

Does anyone here have any good recommendations as to which shop i can bring my car to the San Diego area?

Not much of the car is stock. The radiator is quite a bit larger than stock and sits at a slightly different angle. I doubt a standard radiator panel will work.

I'm hoping to enclose as much area in the front of the car as possible so air will be forced through either the FMIC / oil cooler and subsequently through the radiator, or through a separate duct to the brakes.

Thank you for the recommendations. I will look them up.

As for LA, its a little too far for me to have work done there. Thanks anyways
