By shops do you mean to buy items like intakes/exhast or to have work done to your car?
If you want serious work done to the car try Curry's Auto..very professional people and have a dyno (AWD) as well so if you have any friends with AWD cars.. The have 2 locations. The one I've been to near Dulles.
Altered Atmosphere is another place which sells lots of stuff and they even have a dyno as well. I really wouldnt have them work on my car though.

Ditto to PSM's comments.
Alter is a good place to get stuff and the service is pretty good as well. They're a little picey though. The tried to charge me $400 to install a boost guage and controller. I ended up spending about an afternoon and did it myself.
Lemme know any feedback about Evolution. I beleive they can special order several bodykits but I don't have any "real" info about them. Tried to call them butm the numbers i have are wrong.
There's Han's Autobody in Gaithersburg who does awesome work. They painted and installed a Bomex bodykit on my buddy's Supra. They charged him around $1100, which is a good price since they had to custom fit it to the car. You can see the work in the photo shoot thread under member's gallery. (It's the black supra)
As for Stereo Stuff: Try Sound Solutions in Centreville. THe installer Gabe is phenomenal. His shop has trophies from wall to wall and the price is reasonable. Plus they does custom installs such as motorization and installint playstations etc.
Just me 2 cents.

The shop seems cool... Jeff seems very knowledgeable... Prices on some things are good and some questionable...(just like your momma said..) "you'd better shop around" however, I plan to pick up a few things before I make a large purchase to see verify the ability to deliver and customer service...I'll let you know what happens...

I have gone through a show in Frederick called Absolute Auto. The guy who does paint is named Rick. If you speak with him tell him someone from absolute imports told you to call. He is a cool guy, takes his time but it is well worth the wait.
The is another good shop in Glen Burnie called Aces.
I or my friends have had some bad experiences with some of the other shops in MD so I will not metion them here.
