I'd like to basically alter the outside of my car. Different headlights, taillights, wheels, altered hood, custom body kit, and suicide doors. Trouble is, where do I take the car for these kind of things? Do I go to a regular body shop? Are specialists for this?

First thing you should do is some photoshop work to see what you'd like to do.

why mess with perfection? i agree. draw out what u want (photoshop) so u dont spend thousands of dollars on something u wish u would have left alone.

I've tried to photoshop it. I'm just no good at it. My drawings come out like a blob.

gimme some pics and tell me what to do
