Any shop to install an Alta FMIC around chicago burbs?
I'm looking for a recommendation on a place to install my ALTA FMIC and hotside pipe.
I know there's slight trimming of plastic and I have this bad thought in my head that some place that has no prior experience will just guess and cut way too much and cause issues or something.
I'm in the Arlington Heights area but any places east toward the northshore burbs are fine too.

Just wanted to update...
got my Alta FMIC, Alta hotside boost tube, and NM lower torque arm insert installed today at Hubbard Woods Motors in Winnetka.
The owner Bob is super nice, and service was great. Rich did my installs and is really nice and seemed to care about what was going onto my car. Gave me a call just to make sure I knew about any downsides before putting on my mods. I appreciated that extra customer care shown.
Provided a loaner to me though I didn't even ask about it when I made the appointment and was prepared to just camp out there.
The shop is highly recommended by me.

Hubbard Woods Motors, in Winnetka. They are MINI (and Volvo) experts, and are great people.

edit: whoops, guess I forgot to read all the posts. Glad you had a good experience at HWM. I used to drive by there everyday and seeing that nice grey R53 (besides the taillights...) made me want to get a Mini.

Hey... That's my MINI you're talking about!! .. and the only reason I am running the clear taillights is because a yellow truck with a hitch backed into it... Did I mention that I own a yellow truck?! oops...

But anyways, your car is flawless besides that. I actually went in there one day to ask if it was for sale. Are you MINI Rich?

AH ha... Now I know who you are! I heard about someone wanting to know if it was for sale. And trust me, with the amount of work still left on that car, you dont want it.
-- Sat in an impound lot for 8 months with sunroof open.... Thats how I bought it..
And Yes, they do call me MINI Rich, we have 2 other Rich's here....
