parts installation in Korea Town area?

hey all,

I was wondering if you knew any reputable shops in Korea Town area where I can get the Akrapovic Slip-on, Arkym front lip, Hannan Rear Lip, and steering wheel installed for a reasonable price. I could probably do most of the stuff by myself, but I dont have the tools to do it right now

I know EAS or LTBMW could do it, but I'm trying to get it done locally. If you know a place, please leave their name and phone number. I will be installing them this Sat or next Monday, depending on when I receive my car


thanks in advance.

Ken

all of those are mods you can do at home with simple tools and some space.

if you really want a shop you should hit up platte form ag, gintani or other local shops that have experience with this sort of thing.

There arent any shops I know, or have expereince with, in koreatown....

I would have done it at home if I had a space, but I no longer have any tools nor any space to work with

i could assist with the lip an diffuser but never done an exhaust so i don't want to touch it lol
or steering wheel...

also with the steering wheel, IIRC, you need to disconnect the battery? otherwise you'll get an airbag code

Go to Platte Forme a.g. in Alhambra. Not too far from where you're at. One Hangook Saram to another.

1135 Westminster Ave., Alhambra, CA, 91803
626-768-0005 ext. 102.

Orrr, if you want to drive all the way down to where I'm at (in Diamond Bar Calif. area) then TWS is great and is open on Saturdays. It's a 35 minute trek though.

^haha thanks
I just hate the fact that I have to pay for these installation
I would have done it myself if I had the time and tools...

maybe I could install the front and rear diffuser myself LMAO

let's DO a Korean BBQ meet

I decide to install the lips myself since it would be few screws and 3M tape..my question is..where do I need to apply the 3M take on an ARKYM front lip?
