Please let us know the results! I am thinking about doing the top end kit from LPE. I would like to know about getting the job lined up at LPE. Tell about your experience and how it is done. :flag

What I can say, is you'll be all smiles when the car is done. You'll also get VERY professional service...and, they won't let it leave until it's right. Let us know how you like it.

You probably won't like it. Traction will be low and gas mileage will decrease. Also whenever you give it gas you're going to get that pressing feeling in the small of your back. Lastly you'll likely always be smelling burned rubber. How fun can that be? :smash: :lol:

Let us know how you make out.
