M Sport Bumper Conversion in DC Area?

Thinking about doing the M Sport front bumper conversion on my '11. Anyone done this in the DC area that can recommend a shop to do the paint and the install? Since this is a conversion, I'd prefer someone who's already done it at least once vs. a first timer.

Sorry I can't offer suggestions about east coast vendors, but if you are planning on getting the parts on your own, here's a link to a thread with a list of all of the parts that this modification will require. When I shopped for a place to do mine, I found that high-end collision repair centers seemed to understand the scope of the work the best, and their proposals to do the work where all within $100 of each other.

I also replaced the rear bumper with the M Sport version, but that was much easier.

What parts beside the rear bumper and diffuser did you need to replace the std. bumper with the M-sport?

Here is a link to my parts list for the rear bumper upgrade to M-Sport version. Please be careful that one of the parts is for 535 and 550 cars with symmetrical exhaust, and the 528 has a different part number. I'm sorry that I cannot remember which one of the parts it is...I think that it's one of the underbody pieces.
