Default Need a one stop FI/Paint/Audio shop in LA.

Bored with my performance `03... but it only has 60k on it. I'm either going to sell it and buy an S4 or drop 10 -12k into it to make it fun again.

I'm hoping to get close to 400hp (TT?) new paint, better stereo/dynomat... basically make it a bad *** sleeper / everyday driver.

Anyone have a one stop shop in the area they recommend? (I live in the southbay, so more west = more better). Like a west coast customs... without all the b.s.


thx in advance.

You should find shops that specialize in one thing. Make sure you research the shops also. You might want to do the audio yourself shops are ridiculous with there prices and its not that hard to do either.

No problemo!!

TechnoSquare and New Age Sound are both in Torrance and DTM is in El Monte.

If you want a painter closer to the South Bay checkout Auto Explosion in Gardena.

GTM for turbo, do it yourself on the audio (or pay me to do it, I'm hella cheaper than a shop, lol.)
