I am wanting to do this but i wasnt sure if any car shop would be capable of this or if i should go to a machine shop or what. before anyone asks why not just by a name brand one, none of them will fit with my turbo setup.

I'm not to sure if you would want to but I do know there's a shop here that can make them custom, but the drive(about 6 hours) is up to you. But I'm sure you may find someone closer. The name of the place is called MRD(mellineum Racing Develpoment) 757-853-7771. If you call talk to Brian or Gray

well, i need to have the shop use my car to make them so they know where they need to get around my charge piping. i would drive an hour for a good shop but not 6 hours. thanks though. ill have to check around a few race shops to see what they say.

find someone who can bend metal and weld.........the rest you should be able to do. My friend made a strut bar for his '05 Focus, and he has little skills in anything metal. He also made a custom oil catch can.......neither look flawless, but they look good enough and get the job done.

go to any hot rod shop, its really not a tough thing to make.

i have some card board templates made up right now, when i find some free time i'm going to make my own. its not going to be that hard at all to do.
