so can noone help me finding a good company/shop that customizes cars or that looks for creative persons (design or something in this direction)?

It's not that no one wants to help you, but we often see questions like this from Stateside hopefuls, and usually have no answers for them either. It is not like we are tapped into Coddington, Foose, or even lesser known shops, and can provide a recommendation for you.

I would suggest you treat it like any other situation where you were seeking employment. Beat the bushes and make lots of calls and sending of resumes. If you are really serious, take in one of the large vendor shows and start asking questions.

For every shop there are 100 aspiring customizers who would love to go to work for them, especially the well known ones. You will undoubtedly have to start at ground zero and work your way up as your skills and education increase.

It may be that folks in other places think there is a vast number of these shops all over America, and that is simply not the case. There are a number of small, usually one or several person shops, that are scattered throughout the country, but they are generally not in a position to take on any member of the team who can not pull his or her own weight and contribute right from the start.

Good luck,

Don
