Looking forward to meeting Tommy today at 10am. I will be installing my megan coilovers and HID fog kit. Unfortunately the right side fog connector burnt due to my nokya 2500k bulb, I assume because that's what happened last time to me =( . I wonder if he can fix that?

Just came back from Music Box. First off, Tommy is outstanding with his work and is very friendly. He was able to install my coilovers and HID fogs within within an hour and a half, He then asked me if I wanted to install LED parking lights because it matched my low beams instead of having that dull yellow bulb, so I said sure. I was then chit chatting with another IS owner who came in and then next thing you know, Tommy's like "Hey come check it out," and I said "Holy crap! done already?". He is very detailed with his work and asked me to check everything out before it was done to make sure I was satisfied. Great fellow to chit chat with, made the time pass by very fast! I would go back to him for future installs.

I needed some spacers at the last minute right before the President's Day Meet.

I called around on Saturday and most shops were closed. The ones that were open did not stock the ones that I needed.

I called Tommy and he somehow as the exact pair that I needed used: 15mm and 20mm.

Tommy waited for me and got them on my car in no time despite my rusty hubs

I am not familiar with that lip but that is just part of life when it comes to aftermarket fiberglass parts

he's installed enough of them to know and be able to tell you that.

Yea, I'm going to order the CF from Aerotect but prefer to get hooked up on installation price wise if someone local can do it just as good, why not right?
