Shop in Vancouver for minor mods?

Mannysrt8 · 04-18-2012, 12:01 AM

Hey guys,

Picking up my Mag Black Z on Thursday at 1pm,I plan to do some mods however want to start off slow.

First on the list

Swift Springs installed,can anyone recommend a Indy shop that would do a good job?I was quoted $300 for install alone from one Indy shop

Paint door handles to match the car,was quoted $150 for both,however this price would be not removing the handles from the car..good idea?

Unfortunately I got the Base with Sport Package,No Nav or Leather,got quoted $995 to do both seats in leather from ACS(well known shop).

Also looking at a aftermarket exhaust and intake from a local member,any good decent places for a install?

I have never been into modding much so dont know what shop to go to...on the flip side if any local members can help with any of these mods I would be more then happy to compensate them.

Future mods,wheels and possible Shine kit...thats all for now...wheels and kit will have to wait till next summer.

Thanks in advance

You can always get it shipped to point roberts if you are buying from the states. Fast Intentions exhaust and HFC or Motordyne exhaust and art pipes would be my suggestions. If you have the money check out amuse and meisterschaft. For intakes go for stillen G3 or post MAF tubes and drop in filters. I got my mods installed at Drivehard.

i've heard good things about garage 5, i only bought some small stuff there like shift knob and oil cap.

i think they are good for honda's.

seems like drivehard worked on quite a few 370z and 350z so i went with them.

you can try installing intakes yourself, saves you an hr labor they charge at shops.

I believe drive hard charges 200 or 250 for spring or coilovers.

intakes is a very easy installation. Provided that you don't drop any bolts into the engine bay and be forever lost ^^

if you need an exhaust i friend of mine is selling a T1R CBE.....i bought the same for $1400 about 6 months....he's selling it for $570. you should buy it off him, it sounds simply beautiful. like i said i have it on my car so if you're curious to know how it sounds i can meet up with you somewhere one day and show you.
