Looking to install front air ducts on my car which requires removing the bumper. Any shop recs in the bay area or should any regular mechanic do this?

Silicon Vally Bimmer is a great shop. They installed a full cat back by Valvetronic on my g82. I recommend them as well as SVBimmer, they did my m performance lowering springs. Can’t comment on the other shops as I haven’t used them before. Both are great shops.
