AK is a "high end" body shop and an acquaintance of mine owns half of the shop... they cater to bmw/benz clientele and as a result, they have bmw/benz courtesy cars for their clients to roll in...

ever since the owner/painter stopped painting, their quality of work has dropped... their current painter is good, but the owner still has to clean up his messes...

i have another bodyshop i use and their owner is the bodyman who does all of their difficult work... the pulling, the welding is all done by him... their painter is NOT flat rate... in fact, he is quite slow... but very careful and patient and the final product shows his meticulousness...

not to say AK is a bad shop... i'm just saying that patience and careful work goes down the drain when the owners aren't working on the car, or aren't around to point out mistakes... production volume vs quality... you can't have both... production volume makes the owners money... it's a tough line to balance...

Anyone want to give up their FRS badge if they've debadged?
I broke mine accidentally debadging... found out you can't do that if you want to run stock class in auto-x

Guys; Who's interested in getting winter tires this year for our FR-S/BRZ??

I gave TireLand on Kingsway a call today and they quoted me the price for the winter tire package.

$1000 FLAT (Tax, Environmental fee, and Levy fee all included) for (4) Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice & Snow tires MOUNTED on (4) 16 inch Steelie rims + Lug nuts!

I recommend getting these soon and store them in your garage or something...before the line up starts piling for the winter...
