Finally got my car. Just bought a 05 G35 w/ Nav.




Can anyone recommond a good shop to get my stuff install at? I just ordered some ZEAL V6 Coilovers i need installed. Also, anyone know a good stereo shop i could go to? i went to tweater and myer emco and they both refused to install the Nav/Dvd adaptor =o

 

First of all......CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Now, install issues..you have several options...Altered Atmosphere in G-burg, Evolution in Chantilly, Ultimate in Dulles, Atlantic Motorsports also in G-burg, they could all do the job for you. Coilovers are nothing complicated.

For stereo stuff I'd check out Kartunes in Dulles. They put in Brent's stereo and I think he was pretty pleased with their service.

 

Evolution installed my coilovers a few weeks ago.

Congrats, nice user name.

 

Thumbs up for both Evo and AAM

 

bee-u-tee-full

 

I just had my system installed at Tommy Customs in springfield, excelent custom work and reasonable prices. Evolution has done all my aftermarket installs Steve and John are great guys.

Thanks for the recommendations, ill check them out this weekend.

 

anyone know how many hours of labor for the coilover system ? 2? 3? I had someone quote me $400 just to install the coilovers, that seems kinda high to me or is that normal?

 

called evolution a few minutes ago to schedule a time to install the coilovers They open from monday-friday w/ saturday being by appointment only, i dont get back home until 6pm on the weekdays so i tried to make an appointment for saturday and the guy that picked up the phone was pretty rude and had the whole " i'm doing you a favor" type of attitude so i didnt schedule anything. Guess they dont like saturday installs? heh. seemed kinda weird since so many people recommended them.

 

Did you talk to Dave or Jason? If it was Dave, give him a break, cause I've been pestering him all day long.

 

Didn't get a name but he was like, " if you make it for tomorrow then *I'll* actually have to come in since we arn't open on saturday, do your car, then leave. So i guess it was whoever does installs.

 

Hi,

You called me not too long ago and ask for an installation time for Saturday.
Our saturday schedule is appointment only so I asked if you like to schedule an appointment to get your zeal coilover installed.

I would be glad to open the shop on saturday for my customers with an appointment so I wouldn't have to drive 40 minutes for nothing. I hope you understand.

One other thing was: Saturday install schedules are drop off only which means the shop is closed but the install goes on. I wouldn't want anyone roaming around in the shop while I'm working on the car.

Give me a call and we can redo this conversation if you still up for it.
