They look nice, but am I assuming that you take the car to the shop to get things installed or is something else happening?

I like the carbon fiber shifter ring...looks nice. I think you're right...matching door handles would look sweet. Can't wait to see the caliper pics.
Is it spendy to have a shop do all these mods for you? I'm just curious if you have them do it because you don't have time to do it yourself, or if you just feel more comfortable having someone else do it.

I go to a professional because I'm mechanically inclined. I wish they had car mods days in Wisconsin but they don't. But I tried clearing my tails last summer on my car and I basically destroyed them cracked the lenses in three spots had expoxy spread all over the lenses in the end I had to go order two new tailights which cost me $369 because I needed them right away else my car wasn't driveable. I do install my own decals I can do that right and I know how to change my backup bulbs but another than that I'm cluless:(

I for one love to do everything myself. Would love to try and tint my own windows. BUT.... there are some things we leave to the pros! I don't blame you at all for taking it to get it done right. I'd do the same thing! :)

It is much better to take it to a professional if you know you can't do the work than take the chance of messing up your ride or possible hurting yourself because you dont know what you are doing.

yeah I like pros doing things too, but learnign is half the fun. And speaking of hurting yourself, when i was taking the ribber off my hvac knobs, the flathead i was using slipped and stabbed my finger, was not fun. All in the the name of fun and grand ams.
