One Stop Shop in the GTA

BaneGrievver · 04-20-2011, 04:10 PM

So my Zed arrives in a few days and I'd like to take the opportunity to get some work done on it while I still have a separate car to use.

Are there any places in the GTA that you would recommend to do wheel powdercoating and painting of the fangs and diffuser? Ideally I'd like to drop her off and let them do their magic instead of going from place to place. I've rummaged through a few pages here and on google but nothing concrete has come up.

Any suggestions?

IMO, Vuk is a great guy.. but he should stick to the z32 platform.. as his knowledge & experience is very limited with the z33 & z34..
-I gave him the benefit of the doubt back in the day with my z33.. and it left me stranded on the side of the highway, with my coolant hose detached... This was after he had installed the AMS pullies for me.

The 2 top shops that I have dealt with have been Speedstar and APH... Their attention to detail and meticulous nature are what set them apart from the rest.

GL OP!

Being "Lucky" has nothing to do with a Straight-forward installation.. Rather, poor attention to detail and lack of platform knowledge is what caused this accident to occur. (I say accident because this was not intentional on Vuks behalf.. As I said, he is a good guy)

Anyhow, I was simply trying to provide some insight into my previous dealings with Vuk@AMS.

GL with your car

When the day comes to pick up your car.. Do a VERY thorough investigation of how everything was put back together.. take it for a healthy test-run, before heading home. This way if any issues do arise, you will be able to take it back to his shop.
Check all areas that may have been touched during removal & installation of parts.... and if anything else.. be OCD about your Z.

GL !
