Default TKO Performance.........

Since I live relatively close to this vendor I made it a point to go see the owner of TKO Performance today, and introduce myself. Previously we had only spoken on the phone.
Ed is a very personable and knowledgable individual when it comes to the Corvette. Needless to say, I saw many trim pieces, Carbon Fiber, Leather Trim, Etc., hanging on his wall and the ones that were not, he made a point to show me on his website. He also explained to me the amount of R&D he has invested in future pieces that will be announced at a later time. He also showed me the Block It exhaust drone suppressor. Nice drop in piece that I will be purchasing once the headers go in.
Needless to say it wasnt hard to spend a few hundred dollars while I was there. Had I not put on the brakes it would have a considerable amount more... He has a nitch for talking about the Corvette. We sat and talked for at least 45 mins to an hour.
If any of you are in a position to go and meet him, it would be well worth the trip. It's a small store but packs a big punch, in the Village of Malverne, NY. Drop by, if you havent already, and say hi. Bring your credit card cause you'll be sorry if you dont...

Ed is a good dude. Half of my Z is all TKO. At this point I don't consider him a vendor, but a friend...
