Hollywood in California or Florida?

You'll probably have better luck trying in the regional forums.

Unless you're paying cash, there's no point if you are out of state.

Credit card = sales tax, which is 9% of your total purchase price. Might be easier to buy everything from one vendor and ship it, ask for a package price and/or free shipping.

As for shops in SoCal... nothing much in the Hollywood area. You'll know what I mean when you get there, there's ZERO space for a performance auto shop.

Seriously? Just enjoy SoCal. There's no benefit to ordering parts locally here. All the major car shops are all at least 10-15+ miles away from the H-Wood/DTLA area.
