Install the CAI yourself and keep the $100 for your other mods. It can be done in 15-20 minutes if you take a beer break and have to pee.

Several guys took there cars to a place in Santa Clarita for side vents and painting and all of them came out great! I can't remember the name of the place but I'm sure Chitto or TCat can give you the info.

You guys in CA have West Coast Customs in Corona...his show is on TV. I knew Granatelli was a "more or less" speed shop that catered to Mustangs until maybe a couple of years ago when they expanded to Camaros, etc. Never heard they did the kind of custom work you are looking into.

try getting wcc to work on your car. They sales guy never answers and when he did answer, he said they were filming so they won't work on any other cars.

Exotic Custom Cars and Design in Huntington Beach does some great work. Russ runs a small shop but is very personable and cars about cars. He's worked on my car, and I plan on going back to him at some point for some goodies.
