Default Zen Motors

I went to get my front and rear fenders rolled today at Zen Motors here in Atlanta. It was a fantastic experience to say the least. It was interesting to find out that one of the guys there knew my brother and had done some work on his STI in the past. I was impressed with the work and also the services offered, which are pretty much anything you could want done to your car. I will be back again for a possible brake upgrade and detailing.

Sorry, but no pics from me. The shop took pics and may be posting them on their site or even here if they become a vendor. I don't think they had any issues at all, but I am not certain about the yellow tabs you mentioned. Great equipment, very clean work.

Here in Houston everyone is pushing me to just shave the rears. I can't find a reputable place to roll fronts and rears.

Gato, which yellow tabs are you talking about? Maybe mine were painted when I did the color change.

It was a pretty low key job since I was not rubbing to heavy in the front and none in the rear. Precautionary in the rear for the most part. As far as the front, I would get a REALLY tiny rub on certain inclines and major dips. Zen Motors felt like it was primarily due to the spacers in the front, so no major surgery was needed. Pics don't really show what was done, but I can certainly feel the difference with my hands and the rubbing has been eliminated thus far.

After talking to you about carrying a full load, I decided to get a slight roll in the back.....just in case!
