Note sure how much of a shadetree kinda guy you are, but I did mine in a few hours (6). Only needed a few hand tools and a jack. Granted I had the tophats installed before I got them.

That's because they charge $85 per hour. They do stellar work, and were able to install my intake without removing the front bumper amazingly. But again, at $85/hour, they charge as much as it costs to me to take my 5 Series to Classic at $90/hour.

Check out a place called Intercrew also, not sure if they're still around but they do decent work also. I just couldnt justify paying that kind of money man

Their website is down but I did call them and talked to Eugene. He quoted me $225.00 which isn't bad. I can get it done next Thursday or Friday. BTW, I got my parts coming from Excelerate next week via UPS. Thanks for the tip.

Sweet man! good to hear they're still in business. You're gonna love the upgrades

ps. a quote over the phone is not as solid as going up there with cash in hand. I'm sure you can get them down to $200 GL

Something in the air?

I swear, something is in the air at our office. On the 26th, one of my employees, and great friend, passed away from a blood clot in her lungs. About an hour ago, I helped our COO into the ambulance after having a heart attack. Both were/are in their mid-forties.

I am not a very religous guy, and know that a lot of y'all aren't either, but please "pray/hope/wish/whatever it is you do" for this black cloud to go away.

Yeah, it's pretty costly, but I don't trust much of the other shops around town, and Jotech does have a good relationship with the some of the high end tuners around. Plus, they seem to be pretty successful in their racing career (not to mention, Kenny's a really cool guy). So, I guess you kind of get what you pay for; quality in their case, imo.

Plus, they love my TL.

Speaking of spotting, were you at the intersection of 66 & Dalrock yesterday in between 2 & 2:30, or somewhere around there? Saw a TL exactly like your's that caught my eye heading towards Rockwall.

Looking forward to having my "stuff" installed hopefully before Valentine's Day. I'd much rather pay an Acura member to install them who knows how instead of a shop but oh well. Thanks Excelerate!!

No kidding. Bunch of silver ones. Don't think I've seen one with A-Spec wheels. Will watch for ya, though.

As far as I also know, there's only 2 CBP Type-S in our area. Mine & another. Fucker's fast though, always out running me.
