Default One stop shop?

I went through the posts already and know about 88 rotors, 168 motoring, etc... Just trying to figure out which shop can install exhaust, front splitter, rear diffuser, wheels&tires, foglights and do alignment in one visit if possible. Wheels, tires and alignment can be done another day/elsewhere if needed. Thanks.

Kennedy at Platinum does great work. Very knowledgeable and would take very good care of your car. He's in the 626 also.

Can't go wrong with 168 though.

another vote for Platinum VIP but may take a bit of time since he always has a ton of work.

Where are you located by? Give Best Care Auto a try. They are located in Garden Grove if you close to there. www.facebook.com/bestcareauto

From my personal experience, most mechanics have strengths in certain areas. I recommend going to different ones, and getting the best price possible.

Tommy @ Musicbox is good with suspension installation, and some electrical work. I would not have him put on new wheels or install splitters. He's not the type to torque your wheels to spec, he'll use an air tool instead. He charges too much for splitter installation. He'll also not admit fault if he damages your stuff.(Not good if you got expensive wheels!)

If you're installing splitters/lips find someone who has experience in body work with modified cars. They will usually have better insight and technique if it's custom work.

Wheels and tires I recommend Tire Central, or K&E(better prices). These guys know what to do.

Alignment at West End only. They will be the guys to corner balance and adjust your suspension work. Darin is the man.

Exhaust can be put on by tommy.

Don't mean to bad mouth but people gotta know this stuff!
