I don't know of any good shops, but if you could list the ones that tried to rip you off, that would be cool. That way, we can avoid those losers.

Also, where in L.N. do you live? I live near the shopping center off Marina Hills and Golden Lantern. Do you happen to work at an Italian restaurant?

I know of a great shop. Go to www.scautosport.com. I usually work with John, he's the owner. He does most of the work with his mechanic, George. Just to give you an idea, I got my AEM CAI in for $260 installed. That's a good deal from what I have seen. Also did all my suspension work and wheels/tires - did a great job. Best part is that South County Autosport's portfolio is extensive. They have modded everything from a Ford Focus to Vipers and Porsches. They know what they're doing so your safe there.

Polarg M6's are bulbs for the road lamps. You know how the stock road lamps don't match the HID's very well? If you replace the stock bulbs with Polarg M6's it is a closer match in color and intensity. (The Polargs are 18w hyper white and the stock bulbs are 5w.) Hope this is a good explanation.

I see you already have springs installed, so this info probably does you no good. But Discount Tire Center in El Monte installed my Comptech springs ($100) and sways ($50) cheap and did a good job. Also, I got a good deal on rims and tires. Look them up in the Yellow Pages and ask for Vic. Tell him Dave with the Silver TL referred you. He might remember who I am.
