Anyone know the story behind the name? Everytime I see this thread, I think of a music store.

Actually Tommy has been talking about a BBQ meet at his shop for a while, I guess he is just either too busy or too lazy to set it up...

Haha.

He does Euros too. I'm telling you - if it has wires, Tommy can do it.

Cuz my 3GS he worked with and lowered was the first one he did. He also did my nav hack and install a module box that allows unlimited time for address input. He knows all the trick and know the car very well already. I'm glad you like his service. Afterall i referred you to him

i know, thank you again. im getting my wheels in a couple weeks and may have to get my coilovers tweeked for fitment of the wheels so i may be calling Tommy soon. i already have the Nav hack done but i have to hurry up and input the addresses in about 40 seconds. it'd be nice not to rush it. i'll probly hit him up on that when my cars in there.

yup, he's an audio guy.(just put a box in my LS) and from what I know, a couple a guys from cl spread the word and now it's like the unofficial "so cal cl" install shop. Great guy, easy to get along with and quick as hell. everytime i've been, I've met a member of cl.
He installed my tein cs in under an hour...

I actually had tommy work on my VW GTI about five years ago when he had his shop in Monrovia next to Kansai. He installed my turbo timer and stereo at a very good price and did a great job. Never had any problems with the car. So the answer is he can do Euro cars because he was doing millions of M3's when he was next to Kansai.

Tommy @ MusicBox is a stand up guy. I recommend his work. He's done work on my cars and does it pretty quickly.
