Body shop in Los Angeles to install Spoon mirror glass

I'm looking for a recommended body shop in Los Angeles area (SF Valley ideally). To install Spoon glass in mirrors. Any recommendations let me know.

How comfortable are you with DIY projects in general? I know a few within this community have installed this glass themselves- I'm hoping a few chime in. I would personally be nervous with a body shop doing this given the cost and rarity of the Spoon glass.

I'm pretty comfortable with diy projects. I've just never worked with glass aspects on a car.

I found a shop in the SF valley (Los Angeles). A really cool guy who is ok with custom work. If it turns out good I will post his shop's name here.

Awesome, I'm happy to hear.

I was thinking if someone had the Helm body repair manual this scenario should be covered- but I do not have that piece.

Ok got the mirrors back today. They look pretty good. I got spoon glass installed in 2 sets of mirrors, and a rearview mirror. The rearview glass sticks out in the middle a bit, apparently b/c the OEM glass has an convex shape to it. It should look ok with the Mugen mirror cover that I got painted satin silver.

Interestingly one set of the spoon glass has the Spoon logo at the bottom, the other set did not.

The shop is pretty good and willing to do this type of stuff. I recommend them. RNJ Customs and Collision Repair in Northridge, CA.

The side mirrors came out really well. I recognize night driver leads to a key pet peeve of annoying headlights.
