Any good place that can do a Swap?

I'm saving up for a swap and a place next to mine can get me a JDM front clip but I want to bring it to a place where they did a swap (RS-JDM WRX) before...
do you guys know any good place to bring my car?

I would only recommend Kevin at Garage Tuning. He's timely, up front and honest. He's done over 20 swaps. Other shops either don't know what they're doing, or they'll jerk you around with how long it's going to take.

Suby Specialties is also never a wrong place to go to. They're Subaru demi gods.

Don't listen to sigma pi.. he doesn't know what he's talking about. :P

Aerosim does good work, but a while is an understatement.

Hehe.
From my experiences, I've waited more hours for my turn than hours of work on my car.

Haha, you're talking to the queen of wait.

I've waited more hours for my turn elsewhere than anybody on both i-club and NASIOC combined. At that point, I started calling it neglect.

instead of getting a jdm swap, do the usdm juan


contact LIC motorsports up north. They do a ton of them and they're a vendor on I-club.


smog legal no worries. Job's range from 7500-15000 but well worth it.

Full on conversation from wiring harness, gauge cluster and drivetrain.

garage tuning does usdm swaps as well. they actually have done about 34+ swaps. and for a wrx swap its 5500. not 7500. from garage tuning that is.
