Nice, keep us updated. I would rather use a local person anyways.

Yeah that's all I am finding too. Won't the dealer know that my car has been reprogramed when I take it in for service? Well better question would be will they void my warranty becasuse of it?....lol

NICE!!

I just talked to them last week about doing the Osiris standard tune. They have great prices over there.

I was going to make a trip up there to get flash/tune within the next few months, but i may wait and see if you guys get on board.

Yes, they will know, and yes, it will void your warranty with the quickness.

With uprev, they offer to flash it back to stock so u can go in for service, then reflash back after your service at Nissan.

Vivid racing now has a distribution warehouse/install-tune shop in Houston. It's their first branch from the main HQ in Arizona.

FYI for mainly parts, but expect labor/install rates to be high as they mainly specialize in very high-end sports cars.

Default Need a shop for Seats

I wanted to get a red suede insert for the stock enthusiast seats and the bolsters reupholstered to stock fabric because they have worn out. Any suggestions on a cheap shop that does pretty decent work? Im in SE houston but am willing to drive. The last quote i got was for $500 a seat then I got quoted $350 a seat for vinyl insert (vinyl wont fly for me). I'd like to get it done soon, before I blow my money on something stupid lol

Prestige does awesome work, but it's hard to get ahold of them. I had my body kit painted by them. It was flawless.

I'm going to check out Streem Dreams. Anyone have a web link or #?

Is Street Dreams located in Pasadena? I went to their website, and the address is 601 Curtis Ave, which is located at Pasadena?

Is there another reputable shop around Sugar Land/ SW area?

BTW, I mainly need to get my clear bra off the front bumper, and repaint my V1 lip.. Tried to use the heatgun but the top layer comes off, but the glue stays... PITA!

Thanks!
