JDM friendly body shop?

Hey guys, got a buddy who bought one of my JDM vehicles I imported in, but sadly some guy backed into him at a light and messed the front bumper a bit.

He needs a body shop, the car is a subaru legacy GTB, it has a tommy kaira front bumper. Looks to me as its fiberglass, so it could either be repaired or replaced maybe.

Anyone recommend a shop that deals in jdm body repair and is knowledgeable?

Thanks guys!

Basically what you looking for is a source for the parts you need. This is probably going to be a source yourself ind of project, then have the body shop of choice do the repair.

tommykaira parts are hella expensive to replace. knowing icbc and their love for RHD cars they would use any damage as an excuse to declare it a total loss. i would say try to fix it but that depends on how bad it is... any pics of the damage?

ask tofu how it turned out for him when his lancer EVO got rear ended... i think he went to fasttrack.
