Places in Denver to get mods installed?

Anybody know who in the Denver area can do WRX mods? I'm not really comfortable with doing them myself.

I tried Flatirons Subaru in Boulder, but they aren't doing mods at the moment. I also called a few small places, but no luck so far.

Suggestions?

I'm initially looking to get some basic stuff done (sway bar, brake lines/pads/fluid). Later on I'd like to get some stuff like a turboback exhaust upgrade and maybe even some coilovers.

Mike shaw has ppl who worked at flatirons (Bret) who could probably help you.
Dave at Speedy Rupair has great labor rates -tell him Rafael sent you and he'll take care of you. He installed my Perrin Pulley, so I'm pretty sure he'll be able to help with mods

Cool. I'll check out Mike Shaw Subaru, since they're pretty close to where I'm at.

How much did it cost to install your pulley? I couldn't do it for my Legacy, so I'm either gonna have someone else install it (professionally) or just sell it.

Dave charged me I think $30 bucks to install my pulley. It took maybe 1/2 hour and I watched him do it. He's a Subaru Specialist BTW (ie. he worked for a dealer, now has his own shop). I don't trust myself enough to do any work on my car-except the very basic-especially now that I have a really good and reasonably priced tech like Dave to do the work. If you do go to him, tell him Rafael sent you and he'll hook you up.

Sounds good. As soon as I get some money I'll head his way

Thanks!

I got my stuff installed last week at Mike Shaw and I'm glad I did. Yeah, I do feel a bit silly paying somebody to do easy installs; I'm just not the DIY type I guess.

Anyway, they were very fast, though not particularly cheap. But I do dig the new feel of the brakes and the cornering. I'm happy.

Hi Joseph, glad to see you guys hang out on the forums.

I already got my "easy" mods installed by you guys and it went fine. (though it was a bit more expensive than I was figuring)

btw, if I had known about you guys, I would have bought the parts from you guys instead of on my own - your prices were a little better anyway! I am planning on getting some less trivial stuff done in the near future, so I'll keep that in mind for next time.
