just wanted to drop everyone a line and let you guys know my situation. i have recently opened a complete custom shop in the area. i have spent many hours and many thousands of dollars into this business. realizing my passion for customizing cars, i decided to take it to the next level and go into retail and custom work. so until i make my investment back, i will be pretty busy, finishing my cl, making a body kit for caspers cl, and modding the hell out of the cars in the area.

its been real. i have been on many forums and this has to be the one with the most mature, open minded people of all of them, except for veilside cl, which we all know wrote those posts. either way who cares. i just want to be known as the first person with a complete custom full bumper kit on a first gen cl in the world, and hopefully looked at as a pioneer on the import forefront for taking our car to the next level.

i can modestly say i was turned to alot on this forum for advice on custom work. let me give you guys some advice. i learned everything i can do to a car by simply trying it. even if your car is your only daily driver, get a junker and practice. its easy. read the directions and use the internet. its a valuable tool. oh yeah, i am still open to any questions too.

for all of my customers, again, thank you. the site will still be running, but i will be concentrating on the shop more. i will keep in touch every once in a while and hopefully all of you can make it to NEPA next year. we had 96 cars for our first year, and hope to triple that next year. this is rmstoico, first gen pioneer, signing off. take care fellas. ***raises car off ground, pops GoodFellas into DVD player, drives off into the sunset***

 

Damn man...Hate to see you go. But its understandable. Give us a headsup whenever you get a chance. Good luck with the new business.

Hey man no need for farewells, just drop on by when you get a chance...even if it is once in a blue moon! Great job on your CL and for always modding away on the 1st gen!

Oh yes, and not that you need it but Good luck with your new business!

 

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors!

Please let us know how the CL turns out (and include pics)!

Until then; take care.

 

I be looking forward to seeing a chain of your custom car shops.

Good luck!!!!

Peace Out.

 

We've never met or spoke, but good luck on your new business!

I'll remember you as the one who proved that the Comptech SC can fit on our 3.0CL's! And hopefully soon, I will put one on mine!

 

Damn Ross.. that's good news (shop) and bad news (leaving here) all at once. We'll miss you on here as you definitely provided a lot of information and insight to the members here. Hopefully you won't be a stranger and I'll catch up with you at one of your shows, or up at Casper's.

Good luck with everything and keep us up to date!!

 

Good luck with your business man....your car looks phat as hell...make sure to post pics of it when its all complete..

CL'S

 

Goo dnews about the shop man, but I don't see why you would have to leave completly... you could still chime in from time to time...

 

for real!! Please keep us posted witht he cl. I always show my friends your car when i try to explai what can be done with our fine piece!!! Anyway, good luck...KIT

 

sorry to bust your bubble but, i don't think u were the first to have a complete full custom bumper kit. you didn't even make a custom kit. u took a black widow kit and chopped it up. its not your own design. i did the same with my car i used a jt evolution bumper and invader sides and front. but its all gone now i took it all off and went to stock. my car was finished in the year 2000 yours was finished in 2002. your not the first so don't think your a fucken bad ass with your cl. the kamealoen cl kicked your ass with the paint job too. n e ways good luck with the business maybe u can make lots of money and be the first for another car.

 

Must you act like a child...he's merely saying his farwell...let it go and grow up!:thumbsdn: :flamer: :shakehd: :whocares:

 

you are a fucking tool man




and ross, good luck, the shop thing can be a stressfull business, i've seen alot of friends succeed and fail w/ it. Good luck to yoU!

This isn't a good bye, this just a way for us to see you more, as long as you stock as many parts for our cars as possible.

*Takes a swig, then pours a little out for his homey, then passes the bottle*

We'll see you down the road Ross, and good luck with the shop.

 

Thanks for all the help, and all the parts I got from you. We'll be in touch because I always seem to be needing more mods.
If you deceide to mass produce a kit, you know I'm good for the $, just let me know. Good luck !!
