If I wanted to get some HID kits, daytime lights, and fogs installed, do I have to buy it first and bring it to him? Or does the shop carry these products?

And I tried calling 626-823-2853 and got a voicemail. Is this the correct number?

You got the right number - Tommy's out of town this weekend. He doesn't really "stock" much of anything in the shop. You're better off buying and bringing it with you.

Thats the right number... Leave a message.. He will get back to you!!

You can either buy them on your own...

OR

If he can, he will get some for you, dependeing on what exactly your looking for.

just wanted to give my for tommy. saw him over the weekend to do the install on my sl2vi. great workmanship, and he did all of the hacks, including the nav hack switch, which he place along the seam between the plastic and carpeting right by my right leg in the drivers seat. it would have been nice to have the switch in the blank spots to the left of steering wheel, but no big deal. he also convinced me not to put the ipod in the center console as i had originally requested, b/c it would require putting a sizeable hole in the console as opposed to the glove box already having a premade hole.

between the vaistech group buy and tommy's rates, i saved a good amount of dollar than the ridiculous $700 quote the stereo shop my dealership referred me to.

btw, 09 IS 250.

just got my headunit and speakers installed by Tommy over the weekend. Great guy, great service, and great pricing. The only drawback is that the driveway is quite narrow, so going out i had to back out.

Would definitely go back to him.
