Default looking for a few shops in san diego.

i'm looking for a good shop for installing parts around san diego. i'd really like to find a trustworthy shop around here that knows what their doing, we need a performance nissan down here .

i'm also looking for a good body shop that can paint and install a nismo wing and lip.

and a pace to have my car dyno'ed.

if anyone can help me find any of these i'd greatly appreciate it.

For parts install depending on what the parts are I would recommend a fellow forum member protocav. For body work I know Mossy Performance in Oceanside can handle that...

Hey Dan,

I can second that recommendation for protocav for installations. He is a good friend of mine, so I am biased, but I first went there not even knowing the guy and got top-notch work at half the cost of anywhere else. When that leg gets better come on out to the Tuesday meet and I am sure he you'll find him out there making fun of everyone, I mean talking to us.

IM me later ... I got a few more ideas for amps for you.... ps - I ended up getting that AVIC-D1 after all ... XMNavTraffic and all ... I can't wait

What mods are you getting for the car?

I hate san diego!

Anything that's been done to my car, I've either done it myself or have driven up to LA/OC.

I'm sure there are many places down here but prices are nothing "competitive".

I say we all quit our day jobs and open up a tuner shop with dynos, hunter machines, paint and body, techs dedicate to f/i...the whole nine yards.
