Where Does Everyone Shop??

[whiteracer]

ok ok ok where do i start?!

Mike, on paper the chick that runs Autolink sounds hot, her name is Kitty Chan. I don't know when you saw her last but she ain't hot, ain't ugly either. Good comparison, she sells the magazines with the chicks on the front, she'd never be one them though.

and Matt, try to test your memory here...while driving on the 10 on the way to Fontana, there's Eastland shopping center with a circuit city, chili's, and BJ's. Right across the street from that is a 14 story Wells Fargo building. Its the only building, you can't miss it. I work on the 10th. Coming from Arcadia, i drive by Rice Motorsports every frickin' day! Everyday its the same question, "why?!". I bet if i look out the window or get on the balcony, i can see that place. But i have yet to visit it either. This area is a bunch of hispanics and white boys sporting the "Rice" apparel. (p.s. i don't believe in the term rice but its just easier to use it there.) I might just go there after work today but i'm afraid. Yes, i'm very afraid. The name says it all. I'll post a review if it's dramatically different than any other shops.

Yup, I remember the building you speak of, and I've shopped at Eastland before. Another COOL shope I want to visit and swing by sometime, is CNC Motorsports in I think it's either Chino or I'm pretty sure it's Ontario where it's at. Eitherway it's off Eighth st. if I remember correctily, Or maybe it's Vine? =\ Well somewhere in Ontario off the 10 freeway, LOL!

[whiteracer]

don't go to CNC! There's two of them, one in Azusa and another of the 10 in Ontario. Never been to the Ontario one, but the one in Azusa just sells cosmetic stuff. No garage. No decent cars anywhere. The shop in the first Fast and Furious movie where he goes in and says the infamous line of something like "harry i need nos!" or whatever it is, is kinda similar to CNC in Azusa. I bought my black housing headlights from them, a few complaints; 1. over priced (later confirmed by someone else on these boards) 2. Didn't have a clue as to how to install anything 3. Couldn't refer to a place that could install anything, not even the few mufflers they sold 4. No brand names of anything, unless you consider APC 5. Ok, so NOS was another big company, but you'd at least think if they could sell a kit, they'd install it or know someone that could. 6. Limited access to the showroom unless you ask someone that works there, which for me were hard to get a hold of 7. After headlights had leak the day after i bought them, they told me i was screwed. 8. If altezza's are available for your car, they have it. If there's a light bulb you want in a certain color, they have it. Performance wise, you're screwed. The suspension mods weren't even a factor, there were none to speak of. Sorry, i have some issues with them. I'm feeling better now. Please, anyone else got any issues with them? Anyone else heard of them?...

and yes, it's true, Rice Motorsports does exist. I drove up to the parking lot this evening, even called them to see when they close, much to my suprise and delight, they have nothing to do with cars. The parking lot was full of motorcycles, atv's, and seadoo's. I don't understand the name, but i'm glad to see it isn't a shop full of Autozone's Aisle 4.

Mike, when did you go to Autolink? I tell her you said hi! j/k. I'll be there a lot this weekend (actually, only sat., they're close sunday's) spending a good chunk of money.

white-lol...I've never been there before...I was just asking if that girl was hot...that's the important thing

Donny-never heard of Vision before...was asking some other guy about Versus in Phoenix...they had pretty good prices...like the dude wouldn't even look them up, he'd just think about it for a minute and then normally come up with a pretty damn good price...

He actually sold me my first kit which was the BW sides and rear I have now with the Streetfyghter II front. he sold it for like $675 and I told him I wanted to pick it up right from Ground Designs so he printed me out a receipt for like $850 so they wouldn't trip about the low price.

I dunno...I shop at WestCoast in Modesto and they're hella cool...never really knew the old owners. Only stopped in there a few times when I was home from the Marines. Normally I'd prefer shopping at PA, but the new guys at WC were hella cool and pretty much hooked it up right away so I buy all my stuff there.

CivicLX: Well I used to hang out there alot when I was part of CreativeImage car club. We became friends and he just started hooking me up with deals left and right sometimes free stuff.
He would say stuff like I wonder what this would look like of work like on your car and just out it on and give it to me!

I stopped going there cause of some negeative stuff that was going down with peeps showing up, I told him about my conflict with peeps & he just said no problems.
Also so 1 lit my Eclipse on fire, so I basicly lost my show car!

Now I go for the sleepers!

[CivicLx]

damn red...I just had this long reply written up and when I went to send it, instead of posting it, it made me log in again...fuckin shit

anyway, sorry about your eclipse...assuming that wasn't an insurance scam
