Is there any performance shops left in Northern California that can install parts/mods?. I did a google search and see nothing. 15 years ago when I owned my last mustang cobra, there were 5 in the Bay Area. WTF?! Thanks for the feedback

AED outside of Sacramento is one of the best shops in the country... Drew recently moved back to Idaho but I believe may still be coming back during the work week. I would contact Drew or Shaun first to see if they can help.

If not, I would try to dig up Daniel who used to work at Nextgen in Hayward... I believe he started his own shop many years ago, but I lost touch with Northern California after I moved away back in 2012. Good luck!

TPS motorsports is probably closer than AED.

Is Mike Mac back in the business of modifying cars? He sold this portion of the business when I was still in NorCal, around 10 years ago. After that, TPS only sold parts. Either way, I won’t start drama from the mid 2000s about Apex Motorsports!!

I can speak from personal experience that AED is worth the extra distance.

I have no idea honestly I just knew they existed in that area and was simply trying to help. I had no idea they simply sold parts now and don't pay much attention to what is happening with shops because I do all my own work.

Drew at AED Racing doesn't come back to SAC during the week. He has his fully operational shop in Idaho now.. Shaun at AED (not racing) is still in SAC and might be working on cars.

TPS Motorsports will only work on Smog compliant car. They opened up their install side again a while back ago.

Zmod Motorsports does installs in Sac and is a good shop.

Chris, great update- thanks! I read a post from Drew on Facebook that led me to understand he may be coming back some weeks, but thanks for the clarification.

Another recommendation for anything suspension related- Custom Alignment in Mountain View is excellent.

I remember APEX LOL

AED does not do any parts install because of new Cali laws Shaun told me

Thanks for the feedback. I tried Shaun but no dice on install. He is only tuning
