I am so jealous right now. I'd love to be able to get coilovers installed for $60 and valves adjusted for $40. I'd probably give him more because I thought the price was to low. How much to fly out to Tampa and install for me, do you do nationwide service.

just so I know, what is a wire tuck? I'm assuming that's for show cars that want pretty engine bays where you go around and try to hide all the wires from view so your engine looks pretty. If y=so you probably have to get a bunch of new wires since they're already custom fit and when you try to hide them you're probably gonna need longer wires, am I correct?

now and days most show cars jdm style have wire tucks. it gives a nice look inside the engine bay instead of having wires haing all over the place
