When they film car commercials here they paint over all the graffitti on the side of the mountain.

Of course Colorado also has this and a bunch more micro breweries. Colorado lead the nation on brew pubs. (the new mayor of Denver owns one)

Who knew that a little request for advise on the best aftermarket supplier would become a war about roads and beer.

Even though technically I'm competion to Randy and Eric, Alot newer to the Mini performance shops, I talk to Randy on a reg basis, give him much props, I have never talked to Eric, so i cant speak for him, good nor bad, so iwont, But I am much closer to FL, and will gladly help anyone out, and just for note, I do sell some of Randy's Kits, as here in the near future he will be selling some of mine, we have already have had the discussions.......My only point is that there are many Great Installers out there its all in who you know and trust, unfortunatly on this forum, im new so therfore am having to earn trust, but it will come as i am sure of it... So as to the original thread best of luck on your decision, and any help i may be will gladly do, even if it just aswering questions on the phone......

For others out there... The race header is getting close to production, my prototype is done should be back from ceramic coaters in the next couple of days, already discussed with randy to do some testing to back my testing...I's will keep everyone in formed..... Other projects are nearing productions soon to

That's a nice attitude. It will do doubt serve you well as time goes on. I can think of a couple vendors who could learn from that - trust is earned, not given.
