Default Installations

Where do you guys have all of your aftermarket and performance parts installed? Does a dealership do it or do you have to find another specialty shop. I need some direction here in Los Angeles; we have thousands of car related shops here.

A lot of us do some of the installs ourselves...but I personally take mine to a couple of different speed shops when the job is over my head. I dont go to the dealer...ever. Too expensive. Merry Christmas.

JordanCA Twokingsracer is right most of us do it ourselves, with most good aftermarket parts they come with instructions and if you really look at them they are pretty easy to do, so look at the instructions while looking at your motor or whereever the item is going, try it most item's are not that hard and plus you save that $80.00 labor fee most shops charge down there, as for a good shop i go to Extreme Mustang Performance in Irving Ca. Eric Cheney is the owner and he does an excellent job, give him a call.Thanks Mark.

Look around for other stangs and maybe someone can help you if your not comfortable doing it yourself. I do all my own work, but have four guys who's cars I work on all the time. Good luck.

Chicane Sport Tuning is another good choice and so is XMP. Both shops are Mustang specialists and are totally top notch. I have taken my stang to both and highly recommend them both. Check our West Coast Service links section for links to their websites and other service shops on the west coast.
