Default Hey Chicago

Hey Chi Town. I was just wondering if you guys could recomend any good shops that do system installs, or performance installs. I know of Abt, for sound, and Drivers Image, thats pretty much it, any recomendations?

Look forward to seeing you guys at a Chicago meet sometime

-Mobile Tel - decent shop and decent prices has other location but i have only experienced their Carol Stream shop located on North Ave near County Farm Rd.

-B.B.G.S, small shop, but ill tell you now, the dude knows his stuff Hanover Park/Barrinton Rd

-Import Shop, small shop, but i heard they can get you almost anything, Roselle, IL, but also has a Chicago Shop too

-Grafix Zone, is one of the best places to get Graphics for you car, located in the same plaza as Import Shop in Roselle

They just installed H&R springs/Koni shocks and a short shift kit on my A4 last week. Great work and good prices.
