Erik,
I know nothing about the shops you listed, but...
Make sure that what ever body shop you use is familiar with
Lotuses. Not all fiberglass is the same, and just because a shop
does fiberglass (i.e. Corvettes) does *not* mean that they can do
a good job on your Elan. As for the differences, Lotus uses
'glass that is relatively thin (thicker where needed) that
actually carries stresses, whereas most other 'glass cars use a
strong frame and a relatively thick unstressed body...
Talk to the shop, and make sure they know the differences before
you let them touch your car...
