Personally, HP Performace in Mundulein (right around the corner from you) is a really great shop that has done great work on my C5.

When you get around to the "Performance" stuff go see Dan Bills at Finish Line Performance in Naperville, Il (630-717-0824) he ends up
"fixing" a lot of the work done by other shops. The FLP reputation for doing quality work has been around for many years!!!

Chicagoland has many good shops!!! We are sooo lucky!!
If you looking to have a supercharger installed there are many shop's in the area that can do that. Also most of them can tune with the exception of a few.
Most have in house Dyno's and have many satisfied customers
As far as powder coating i dont think any of the shops do that
Stripes can be done by most however I think only a few do it or want to.
I have used Speed Inc and FLP so I know they can deliver
Good Luck and hope it all works out for you.
My advise to you is call the shops and get a comfort level and price then check references and make you decision

There are plenty of shops that will put the strips on it does not have to be a Vette shop, As far as lowering you can go to just about anyone, If you are going to have a blower installed or any engine work done try FLP, He is a heavy hitter in the FI family and he has fixed alot of the other so called good shops problems. Talk to Mitch and let us know how it works out, I don't think he does the strips and lowering stuff as he is more into the performance stuff but you can call, 1-877-357-2946. Good luck
