There was a shop that I went to that installed my exhaust and sways (charged only $90) called Nu Image that closed (they mostly did hondas). A shop in Olathe that I've been talking to get a clutch and flywheel installed is a muscle car place (Muscle Car Specialities) that works on imports. Their shop rate is the lowest i've found $70/hr. There is a place in Independece called Hurst Imports that is supposed to be very good but they charge 83/hr.
The best place to get tires mounted is KC Trends (http://www.kctrends.com/) in Shawnee. They do not have the greatest deals on tires (or rims) but they only charge 22 bucks for balancing and mounting and that's the cheapest I've found around here.
And I haven't found any reasonable body shops most of them want to kill you to have anything painted
The website for the Z club here is: http://www.hazcc.com/content/ I used to be a member and you do get some discounts but I didn't think it was worth it becaus I bought most of my stuff online. They do have a list of sponsors: http://www.hazcc.com/content/?q=prof...nsor_is/Active .
And the BransonZfest is a lot of fun I've been the last 3 times!
We should get an OP/KC cruise together!
