Default I just purchased my Tein CS need installation store.

Hi guys, I just purchased my Tein CS and I am looking for a tuner store in the Bay Area to install it for a good price. I will also have the Tein EDFC to install in the center console.

I am also installing clear bra on the front bumper. And also Vaistech Sl2vi and tv/navi over ride kit. If anyone knows any palce that can do all of those for a good price please list. Thanks

Pretty much all of the NorCal chapter has either done or regularly does business with Exact Motorsports. It is run by John and Sandy and very easy to do business with, just tell them CL sent you.

A lot of us go to Exact Motorsports. I live just 2 blocks away, so convenience is a nice added bonus for me too.

I just got a quote from exact. they said $560 for installation itself with EDFC.

I might just do it at mach 3. I really don't have extra $560 to shed out for installation.

$300 for coilovers and EDFC? Since you know one of them, I assume you trust them and their skills. That is a great price and I would go for it if my assumptions are correct. Did you figure out where you will be putting the EDFC control unit?

Just to be able to compare apples to apples, can you ask your buddy how much Mach III would charge someone they do not know? Even if they are cheaper than Exact, it would be a better data point. For future reference, when other members search, I don't think it is fair to Exact to compare their price to your "special" price.
