Welcome to Houston! I don't know if I'd consider it the Midwest though!
We're located here, make sure to stop and say hi if you see any of the iSS Crew at local events. There is lots of events and meets to hit up locally and in Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio.
Performance shop wise: I recommend D3 (pricey but amazing) or JTran. I personally go to Deviate Autosport for all my maintenance, wheel mounting, alignment, etc. CVT if you're bagged. Any of those shops will take good care of you!
