Default Philadelphia/Philly Tuner Shops??

I'm going to be in the Philadelphia area temporarily and wanted to know if there are any worthwhile tuner/audio shops around...

Interesting, I had never heard of this place and I used to live right near it. I just looked through their myspace page and I'm not really impressed with any of the 350z's they've done, although I suppose they gave the customers what they wanted and the quality of the work itself seemed OK (just the customers' taste that I question). I may have to look them up for my next body kit project for fit-up and paint.

Aw sorry man - just nothing there that was totally eye-catching to me. Yours isn't the orange with the V2 front bumper by any chance, is it?

EDIT - For whatever it's worth, it's not like my Z is a nice piece of work at all....I was just expecting more from a custom shop I suppose. Again, sorry for offending.

No mine is the black one. I drive the car ALOT so I didn't really want something insane as far as the exterior goes...the interior is getting done next month and that is going to be CRAZY lol. They've done some pretty sweet stuff. The owner has a Z himself and is building a fully molded veilside widebody. Stop by the shop sometime if your in there area they've always got some sick stuff in there.

I really don't understand what OP is looking for.

if you are looking for a tuner/performance shop: R/T Tuning in Lansdale PA is great so far and the only shop I know of in the area.

if you are looking for audio shops... I don't really care or know of any. Good luck.

yeah thats it. I wanted to do something to kinda protect the CF since I drive the car so much and dont have a garage right now, but I didnt want it completely painted. You cant tell its CF til you get up close to it or it catches the right light...gets alot of double takes

I would recommend R/T Tuning for any performance, suspension or tuning needs. They FI my car a couple months ago, installing and tuning my Turbonetics turbo kit, and have done my suspension mods as well. I just got my car raised and aligned yesterday by them. They work is superb.

I know Mike from Exotic Customz as well, and he does awesome work when it comes to interior and exterior mods. He actually wrapped my headliner and visors in black suede and painted every piece of plastic black. It turned out great. I was not aware that he did tuning, did not see a dyno there.

Did you end up boosting your car? Mike was saying he was going to do it. The kit looks nice by the way.
