Hey guys - I have been working on my own car for quite a while now and am pretty comfortable doing simple mods that some shops will charge stupid $$$ for.

This is just a feeler but for those of you who are interested in doing some upgrades but don't want to do it yourself I would be happy to help.

Few examples:

Piggyback Installs
Intake Installs
LED/HID Angel Eyes
Kidney and Mesh Grills
CF Hood Installs
Minor Cosmetic Mods
Bumper removal/installation
Fog Light HIDs
Sub/Amp installs (trunk sub only - I don't like to mess with the factory Subs)
Trunklid spoilers

The list continuously grows. Will post up pics of my car to show the quality of the work. For more complex work - my friend who is a certified technician may assist.

PM Me if you're interested.

P.S. - I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this lol. Let me know if I'm violating any rules so I dont get banned haha.

i can vouch for this guy

he installed my JB4 and DCI's on a Sunday in a parking lot - took about 30 minutes

then, 4 days later, he un-installed it because i had to take my car to the dealership for ignition coil failure.

now, hopefully tomorrow afternoon, he will be re-installing my JB4 and DCI's again

They get cars in daily that are much more expensive than our petty 328's... so we're kinda just "easy money" for them. I do know one of the team members is a major BMW enthusiast, though.

BillLee · 03-25-2011, 01:44 PM

The guys at MotorWerks are cool to me. I think the guy you're talking about is hunter.

Did you ever go to Tire 59? It's literally down the street from Motorwerks, but be careful! They overtorque every time and might scratch wheels. I get good tire prices from them, though.

I did actually, got a pair of Bridgestone RFTs in like new conditions for $350. They left some minor scratches on my 189s though....
