Need something done to your car?...let me do it!

title says it all...if you're in/around the San Antonio area, hit me up...

between my '03 EX sedan and my roommate's '02 EX coupe, there's not much with our cars that we haven't done...and thanks to a nice bonus from Uncle Sam, i have just about everything i need to do just about anything you need...

i'm not going to sit here and try to blow this up like i've been doing this for 10 years or say that my car wins all the car shows or anything like that...but i AM very confident in what i can do, and i am very confident that you'll be satisfied with my work...i know one of the main factors that keeps people from taking their vehicles to shops is the fact that you can't know for sure what's being done while you're not there...so if you want, you can follow me around my garage and i'll show you step-by-step what i'm doing and why...

alright, so that's the sales pitch...i'm just looking for something to do in my spare time (which i have alot of) to help pay the bills (which i also have alot of)...here's a list of some of the stuff that i've done, and if you need any more info or pics or whatever, PM me or e-mail at the address in my profile...thanks!

i can install springs, shocks, camber kits, intakes, headlights, taillights, body kits, exhausts, etc, but I.C.E. is my specialty, from basic head unit, speaker, etc. installation to full-blown multi-amp/multi-battery systems, amp racks, speaker bracket fabrication, switches, relays, LEDs/neons, etc....in one of my previous systems i had a 5.6" LCD monitor in the glove compartment and a DIN-size DVD/MP3/etc. player in the center console, which you can see in the pics below...



i also spent a month working on a 2-piece false floor for my car...it sits on 2.5" risers to clear the factory rim/tire combo i was using as a spare, and it's made of carpeted .75" grade-A plywood so it won't warp, sag, etc...it fits perfect from wall-to-wall, front-to-back, side-to-side...i still have the patterns that i used to make it, so if you are interested, i can have one of them made up pretty quick...

if there's something you're interested in that's not listed, contact me with your idea and i'll see what i can do for you...thanks for reading all this, and i hope to hear from somebody soon!

eklipz: sounds good...the one in my car was for a 5.6" monitor, and it was made of white pine...i made it during hurricane season in FL a few months ago when the weather wasn't good enough to 'glass, and the pine turned out great...easy to sand down for the perfect fit, easy to paint/sand/etc, but strong enough that even when wedging it in the glove box during the trial fittings, it didn't crack or anything...just let me know what you want...

teampointless: sounds good...i still have to pick up a couple respirators, but other than that, i'm good to go in the 'glassing department...hit me up with some ideas and i'll let you know what we can do...

here's some old a$$ pics of the first edition of the false floor that was in my car...the camera and the carpet were really dirty, but you get the idea...the main piece is busted up a little in these pics...due to the tight fit, it was a pain in the a$$ to remove, so i just jigsawed the corner off while it was still in the trunk...haha...and the carpet in the last pic is kinda ghetto looking on the bottom...but i promise if i do one for your car, it'll be clean and seamless...

depends on what kind of amp rack you had in mind...the one i made for my car fits right where the rear seat folds up, but i can make yours however you want...i had my amps mounted to the back of the seats, but after a friend's car got broken into, i redid everything to make it a little more theftproof...

the materials are cheap, and they don't take too long to make, so price is negotiable...we'll see how much everything costs, and then just round up a little bit to make it worthwhile...

the pic kinda sucks, but it's the only one i have left...this was taken during the test fitting of the old Hifonis BX1500D, tweeter amp, BatCap, distro blocks, etc...the seats folded up fine, and even with the KX1200.1 that i had, the seats went up like normal...

i was thinking somewhere near the spare if it fits. I know heat will build up but i was wondering can you install mini fans to keep air flowing. right now i have it on the seat.

you want the amp mounted in the floor?...it can be flush mounted, and i can install fans in the recessed part to keep the temp under control...just tell me what you had in mind and i'll draw you up a diagram...
