I need a recommendation for shop(s) that will install my ACS replica roof spoiler and maybe lowering springs. I've contacted numerous BMW dealer recommended body shops and most of them don't do mods. Can you guys please provide me with some places?? Thanks a zillion.

Sonic Motorsports formerly known as CarLab Motorsports. Ask for Darwin. Located in Santa Clara. I've had work done there and many others here. Highly recommended.

Thanks. Do they give discounts if I mention I'm a e60.net member? If not, is it possible that I drop your name because "some" shops are sharks when they deal with new customers. :thumbsdown:

I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with their pricing. Darwin is a good guy. I was a new customer once too. Drop my name, Mark. Or you can mention Tony or Van. Whatever you do, don't drop the name Joe (VegasTrashed). Just kidding, mention Joe's name as well. Here's SonicMS latest work on VT's car: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=438657

Here is his latest work on member delje08: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=444021

My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M

Darwin's a great guy and did most of the work on my 545 as well as my M5.

The only problem is that dude VT occupies all of Darwin's time with mods for this car and what's worse, he keeps changing his mind. I'm surprised Darwin has the time for anyone else or hasn't gone insane yet trying to satisfy VT.

HAHAHA....I hope you can tell Mark and I know VT very well.

Where are you located by the way?

Tony

I was just at SonicMS this evening ironing out last minute preparations for this weekend's Malibu Meet. It's the same story all over again like it was right before Bimmerfest 2007.
