Not sure yet. Somewhere like Overland Park, KS / Lee's Summit, MO

 

Yeah I've been there quite a few times now. My wife is from there and would love to move back.

 

Bout how far is that from FLW or Springfield area?

 

I really have no idea. I think Springfield is 4 or so hours away.

 

Hmmmm, if you like to hunt and fish you really cant beat that area! as far as shops,mmmmmmmmmmm none....

 

Ouch cause I hate hunting and fishing.

 

Well deer and fish love you for it...

 

There are shop around here....just sell wheels and audio installation. That our "mod" shop, yeah its lame.

So, what i do is getting parts online (Intense Power) and have Nissan install those part. Yeah, it can get pretty expensive but atleast you know they do a good job. As far as the bodywork is concern, I just look for a really good bodyshop that repair highend cars (Mercedes, BMW, Porche, etc.) to do the paint and installation. This kindda place charged a lot but the quality is the same if not better than OEM.

If you wanna do engine tuning,..you pretty much out of luck here. I wanna get a Utec install and tune, so i need to drive to Chicago (GRD) or Arizona (Intense) this summer.

YOu people in big city are lucky 'cause you guys have so many shop to choose from

 

haha, if you wanna set up shop make sure you do it in Overland Park or Olathe. That's where you will get customer...it's the main area in KS. So far, I have not see any mod Z other mine around here yet. Actually, there's one with JP aerokit running on 19" Chrome driving by 40 years old guy. And a "couple" of Z running around.

 

Hmm...I guess I'll just have to sell my Z and get a Vette right? haha!

 

we also have no emissions testing, can have tinted windows, and cost of living is alot cheaper.

 

Yeah I found out about that today. I would consider that a plus on other cars, but not all that much on the Z.

 

about 3 hours from overland park, ks to springfield, mo

 

you wont get screwed for having test pipes, turbo's etc???? to bad MO still makes you run a front plate, HA HA.

 

I don't run a front plate no matter what state.

The other thing I wanted to ask was about winter. Do people stop buying parts and modding during the winter???

 

Speaking of front license plates, yes, Missouri does require one but I don't know if that is grounds for the police to stop you. There are some offenses which they can ticket you for but only after they've stopped you for something else-like speeding.
If I'm not mistaken,Kansas does not require a front plate UNLESS you have personalized tags. Why? I have no idea.

 

there arent too many import shops...well there are quite a few...but none known for their outstanding work and great customer service...they are mediocre but do good work.

I buy all my parts online

 

i like in north west arkansas buy online and do it yourself

 

yes a police officer can pull you over for not having a front plate on. Arkansas doesnt require a front plate period.

 

Police - we don't have any in MO.
For the Tech - I moved from Long Beach to MO. No performance shops - but they do have this: http://www.partycovexxx.com/ And the culture shock is a little tough. But you don't have to carry a peice with you anymore .

Performance shops - if you own a stock car - well ya - this is redneck country

The cost of living is cheap so you can afford to live in KC, Overland park, Olathe and have a house in southern MO, on the lake, near party cove :

Now for The Professional and Idwin - Marbles in there mouth - I never thought of it that way - but OK! And I thought you guys liked me

After my discussions with Idwin - I'm guessing I won't see you this year in Branson -
