i dont.

i've called up there a few times (i work right down the street) but their prices for labor are usually pretty outrageous.

always nice guys though.

i wish i knew of a good reliable shop, with affordable prices. because i really do get a lot of work done, but its a shame i have to hop from shop to shop to get it worked on.

they are pretty good, some of my best friends that work there. They are good thats why there prices are competitive, your paying for quality. The shop is about 20000 squarefeet and they have overhead to pay so. But I been knowing the owner for quite a few years.

Why you trying to start something over nothing?? Everyone has different tastes. Just because you paid 3k for your rims doesn't mean that everyone is going to like them. IMO, Anything above 19" doesn't look good in 5 spoke or 6 spoke. I'd rather a 20" mesh style looking rim than a 5 spoke rim.

Seems like you're just another one of those guys that thinks expensive=ZOMGYOUGOTTALIKEITNOWCAUSEIPAY3000FORIT.

It's called criticism man... Mod the car the way you want, everyone will always have their own opinions.

That's reasonable.. I have a shop and airtools too, JS...

If you happen to need any work done just holla! Only thing I don't want to do is PCDs and timing belts. LMAO

No sir! Walker Acura won't even paint it in house. They told me to call a body shop.

I can always get the sport bumper, but would it look funny if that's the only aero part I have? No sides or rear (for now)?

I've seen a number of low cars in our area with drops like pic number two. A lot of those guys have cracked bumpers. Haha, I'd go for a mild drop like number 1!
