Fellow Virginians?
checking to see if there are any other people from Virginia in here.
I see how people have mod'ed their cars (wraps, wheels, mechanical, tunes, interior, exterior, etc.), but I don't have the guts to DIY.
Would be cool to find a fellow Virginian who enjoys (and has experience with) this stuff and would mind showing me how to do some of this stuff...we can do it over a few beers or I can pay you for helping me.
Or if you can recommend some good (trustworthy and reasonably priced) shops...?

THE C350
Okay so mostly cosmetic mods the only part I have actually messed with is Interior trim. Had to remove a few trim pieces on my w211 and on my w203 I took out the entire dash.
My w203 was the only car I really did much modding with such as changing out suspension (shocks, struts, sway bars, control arms ect.) Also changed out the headlights and installed a factory nav unit. Also did basic maintenance such as brakes, water pump, hoses, transmission fluid and spark plugs.
On my w211 I had to do the oil cooler seals which are in the V of the engine which required removing of the intakes, turbo, fuel rails and so much more. Have some pics of that job in my bluetec thread. Took forever to do but saved so much money.
