Default Just came back from Rod Millen Motorsports

Hey guys, took a day off and went to check out Rod Millen today. Was pretty impressed with talking to the guys over there. They seemed to be very honest and loyal. They were checking out my car and giving me some ideas too. Anyway, I also got some prices on some of there items plus install...

RMM Front Brake Upgrade - $1050.00
Slotted Rear Rotor Set - $230.00
VeilSide Rear Bumper - $646.00
L Sportline Front Bumper - $760.00
L Sportline Side Skirt Set - $500.00
RMM Front Bumper - $650.00
RMM Side Skirt Set - $420.00
Paint (including repaint on the RMM Grille) - $705.00
Body kit installation - $450.00
Brake kit installation - $250.00
Tax - depends on which kit you purchase

Do these prices seem reasonable?
Anyone done business with RMM? Heard anything good/bad. Let me know...

hey, I just realized that the prices they gave me today for all RMM stuff is cheaper than what is on their website. Maybe they are giving me a deal?

The prices that they gave you are good. I have nothing but good experiences with them. I have trusted them with MY GS's and my Supra's. Craig, Blair, and the rest of them are honest and will not steer you wrong. Here is pic of my GS that was done with the RMM kit at RMM. Oh..and the fact that they kit is urethane is definately a big plus!

Thanks

Will

LXOGOOD,

Glad to hear that you are going with them. Craig is a friend of mine and I know that he will take care of you.

a1exus,

Mr AE86 =) said it right, RMM = Rod Millen Motorsports. There are a ton of pics of the GS with the RMM kit in the gallery section. I have some more if you want to see them too.

RMM might have straitend out I guess since there getting such good repliese I only had bad experiences with, there intake that I bought from them awhile back actually slowed down my car!!, the strut bar is starting to rust, and I had to mess with the grill alittle to actually make it fit right. But on ther bright side there bodykits do look very good and are built with excelent material I just hope they got there $#@% together and are pleasing there customers and not mess around like they did with me

I have RMM installed the torque converter for me. They got the job done in the promised time and took me for a drive before they let me take my car back. Thumbs up.
