Thanks again Neal, for installing my splitters & fixing my lights the following day! Amazing service, again I highly reccomend anyone who needs help with installations to go to TheRacersLine. Super friendly, pays attention to detail, and gets the job done right away!

Neal has been working on my car since 2014 and I've had the honor to watch him grow his business from a small garage in Santa Rosa to his own shop in Concord. The biggest reason for me coming back to Neal time and time again is trust. He's a mechanic you can trust not to upsell you on useless mods or services and his expertise on the 86 platform is unmatched.
Over the years, Neal has helped prep my car to be a fun street and track car, building it up with the essentials. I told him what I wanted to do with the car and we planned a list of mods that would make the car better, and not ruin it. He has actually talked me out of several mods that would have made the car less pleasant to drive on the street, which I appreciate. Most recently, I experienced an axle seal leak after tracking my BRZ at Thunderhill West. The seal had turned oval and was letting differential fluid leak out. Neal diagnosed the problem and fixed it for me in no time. He also noticed that my throw out bearing was about to go and helped me replace it with a 2017 throw out bearing and upgraded Verus forged clutch fork. Neal continues to be the only mechanic I take my car to because I trust him. I value his expertise, honesty, and work ethic. If you have an FRS/BRZ/86, he's the one you should go to for work.

I've taken my car to Neal at The Racers Line a couple times now. First a few weeks ago to get a cat back exhaust installed, and then again today for some more extensive work.
Spent a few hours there today getting an APR Performance front air dam, APR side skirts, Velox front wheel deflectors, Gorilla mud flaps, and clear JDM side markers installed. In addition, Neal custom-made and installed a mesh grille for me, complete with a hole for the tow hook. Quality work and a comfortable atmosphere make it well worth the drive to The Racers Line. |

Not planning to part with it immediately, but if I ever decide to I'll be sure to get in touch with you to see if you're still looking.
I like the way the crash bar looks here, makes the grille stand out more. If it was painted black that section of the grille might blend in. |

This is the mesh I used (flat black version of course). I thought the wide brick pattern was a better look for the car than most other styles and it's a very open pattern for good air flow. https://www.customcargrills.com/prod...rod=Brick-Mesh |

I'll see if I can get a pic of the deflectors in the morning, don't think I have any yet.
