GOOD BODY SHOP NYC 4 COMPLETE Body Reconditioning

I have a 2005 Titanium Grey 05 which is what would be called "good to excellent" condition. It is a daily driver with only 55K on it. It has swirl marks in the original paint, a few chips here and there, and a minor ding or two. I want to replace the original front bumper and maybe replace front and rear lights with LEDS and have the entire body color corrected, dings and chips eliminated and then have the car polished and possibly Q-Quartzed to bring it back to factory gloss finish, close to it, or better. Although not too bad, I would also love to have the engine and bay cleaned as much as possible. I can do the inside cabin myself. Anybody know of a good shop in NYC ( I'm in Queens ) who could do a righteous job for a fair price? I'm not cheap and will pay for good work, but don't want to get beat. I had it detailed last year by "one of the best" around and was pretty disappointed. I'm original owner and had the car 13 years and want to keep it as long as I can. I still am in love with it. Looking to keep the love alive :D Thanks for any input.

My VR 04 is going in for total respray. I m bringing it to Route 303 auto which is about 45 min from you. They do good work. $5 to 6k if the body is legit.

Thanks much for the advice. Body is excellent condition for the age. No mud, no dents, original paint is excellent save for "swirlies" but otherwise CC is still shiny and it shows well. I'll give them a buzz and see what they can do for me. Thanks again and good luck with respray!
