This is the preliminary picture I got from VIP Garage in Sterling. They have one of the best welders I have met. It should be done tomorrow. This pic only shows one side. I am going to have them build me a custom cat back this summer

The are right by Mach V Motorsports in Sterling. Near the Chick-Fil-A. They mainly deal with Evos, Stis, and any other turbo related vehicles... Hopefully I'll have some better pics tomorrow.

Yep its the one by Walmart. Thats where a huge number of different car groups/enthusiasts meet on Friday evenings during warmer weather. I try to go there once in a while. You get to see a lot of cool cars, especially any new cars that may have come out

I think Seyla uses them extensively from what I remember.

I have been to those meet, sometimes I felt out of place. It was more JDM and US car centric. But seems like a good crowd though.

Yeah me too. More Domestic heavy but, like you said, car people so it's good to get diversified once in a while.

but as always now we got our own crew from e90, we can make our monthly appearence. Of course, it benefits me the most since I am a vendor. But I will always look out and take care of you guys when it comes to car needs. :-)

Yep, Seyla used to go to VIP a lot. Then he had some issues and decided the best way to proceed was to do everything himself He is pretty picky about who touches it now.

There used to be a couple there that brought down their hooked up late body M5 for a while. There is also a bunch of Audi/VW guys that show up once in a while but mainly its the domestics.

Exactly! Plus we live around the corner from there. No excuse not to show up now

i didnt know there is such shop near by walmart. i thought it's only bestbuy on one side, walmart on the other.. and then there is the Dulles mall. i never seen this shop b4, interesting. i live like 2 minutes from Walmart..lol

I've never actually showed up with my car at the local chick-fila meeet but looks like fun as i've seen some crazy cars around Cascade on Fridays and 'm sure they were heading that way. i agree it's mostly JDM and Domestic .. but i've seen a few bimmers.. how bout we get together as a local bimmer group and go show off there..lol

i wonder if they still do it since it's so cold now?

Raja- it's a great place for you to go and market your services. my suggestion for you is to hire a bkini girl or two during the summer and advertise your "detailing" service there

I know this is an old thread, but Turk were you happy with this? Thinking of getting it done by someone in the area. Do you remember what it cost?
