Default Good shops in Socal to fab UCA box??

Hey guys,

I know this might be hard to find maybe but Im trying to find any reputable shops around socal 310/714/562/909/949 area that can fab a box up for me for my UCA clearance. I dont want to just drill a hole and leave it as is, I'd rather cut the square and get it boxed up prepped and painted/color matched.

There's this fabbin shop not too far from me they say that can do it but might require 4hrs and their price was ranged at 275-375 4hours just to fab? I can cut the squares out myself I just need it boxed weld and if available prepped and painted.. any help or thoughts appreciated!

Thanks,
Dara

Call Driftspeed: http://www.driftspeed.com/index.php?...age=contact_us

562-342-9000

Whoever picks up, tell them what you want done. They should know what you're talking about because I've explained to them my problem with my UCA when I lower the car and they told me they could do it.

Tell them Jon Pham sent you and you'd like them to beat $275.

They have a third party paint company next door do it, the paint company that does it does an excellent job. If you want I can ask on Monday.

They work on the cars like as if they were their own cars.
