Any good MB performance shops in Houston, TX? or just TX?

hi all. Yes this board is killing me as i promised myself no more mods and thats why i traded in my A4 1.8t for C coupe but the reality comes and mod bug has bitten. I'm looking for a good shop to do Renntech new 1 pc spoiler (dealer want $1000!), I also will need someone to do pulley+ECU stuff when the time comes. I also would want a professional shop to do the Audio 10 CD and climatronic unit (the instructions seem simple enough but have bad memories of DIY mods going wrong). I think I have a decent lead on a good tint place (the guy seems to know tinting new MB....i think). Anyhow, learning from the Audi mistake I know it won't be cheap for labor on German cars (but $1000 for install/paint/spoiler is abit too much). I'm willing to drive to Austin, San Antonio, perhaps even Forth Worth if necessary. Thanks all.

*Any local Htown MB meets?

Check out Memorial One in Houston. GREAT shop and they sell RENNtech products. You most likely pay less than MB dealer prices.

7955 Katy Freeway
713-683-8605

....or you could just order thru Renntech directly. 1-800-608-5242
Ask for Brian, he will take care of you.

The Audio 10 CD installation is so easy. Session's instructions are spot on. The only thing you may need to buy that you don't currently have is a #20 Torx driver. I installed mine this past weekend and was finished within an hour or so. I'm in Houston if you need any help.

Used to live in TX & bought a used 911 fron Memorial One. They usually have quite a collection of cars for sale and they also invovled in Porcshe racing. I think the guys name was Jurgen or something like that. You should stop by just to check out the cars. I bought my spolier directly from RT as I could not find a dealer here.
