Hi All,
I've relocated from the Bay Area to Annapolis and was looking for any recommendations for a good area shop to work on my C6Z. I'm planning to get a tune in the spring: Nothing too aggressive, just looking to pick up a few horsepower GM left on the table. Also, a good shop for clear bra and window tint.

Thanks!

Take a look at Tony's Corvette shop in Gaithersburg Maryland. A lot of club members had work done there. I am not sure if they do window tinting.

Welcome to town

Tint shops are on every corner. Stay legal because the State troopers will make you take it off.

If you haven't done so already, try calling Behe Performance in Beltsville (301-595-3280). They worked on a friend of mines Trailblazer SS (installed a cam & blower), another friends Camaro, and also have done several friends GTOs. They also dyno tune as well.

Welcome to the jungle!

Closest to you is Tony's Corvette Shop in Gaithersburg, MD. They're expensive but do good work.

Farther north is Rick Kim at RKT Performance in Frederick, MD. Very knowlegeable re: Corvette and does great work. His personal C5 Z06 is insane.
