I think that shop is located between Mongkok and Ho Man Tin. It's right next to the rail road (I used to live around that area). Besides that shop, there're many other car retailers along the street. Man...I missed HK too.

BTW, that silver one looks great.

Would their URL have the exact addy and phone #?

In general.....how are part prices in HK? Cheaper than US for the same TRD stuff? Im sure HK offers more options and brand too. Just wondering.

Toms TRD Shop

http://www.toms-trd.com.hk/

G/F, 82 Shantung Street
Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

(Surface at Exit E of the Mongkok subway station; the shop is opposite the asphalt soccer pitch on Shantung Street)


If something you want happens to be out of stock, then take 10 minutes walk to

My parents went to the Toms-Trd Shop first and it was closed for some sort of power outage problem....so then went to Loong Wah and saw the GS's there and they said it was a large selection of parts inside...

This car mod shop is now refocusing on the Mini Cooper.
Modded Aristos and Altezzas are rapidly becoming extinct species, even this Loong Wah is trying to find an alternative.

Is that because of the movie "Italian Job"?

Actually, it's really just because the Minis are so much more nimble and agile for Hongkong's one-laners...
