Default Looking for Maryland DC VA mod shop

I have just taken delivery of a new 5-speed manual vista blue 2007 GT and I want to make the basic appearance & performance modifications and I'm looking for a reliable shop to do the work in the Metro Washington DC area. I'm looking to make the following changes:

Lower suspension 1-2 inches
basic intake/exhaust breathing equipmnent
ducktail spoiler (ordered spoiler delete option from factory)
Foose or Cervini or Saleen style grille/bumper.

Well for the Body work I use is Gary Best Kustumz
Web Site Address

Here is a pic of Garys car:

And what he did for mine:


As far as what to do I would recommend the foose, there seem to be quite a few saleens and more and more cervinis cars poping up (unfortunatly), foose for the moment is one I have yet to see localy, if not foose then Cervini.

For the performance there are a few places I would trust, HBH (Horsepower by Herman) which is in the Crofton area, Piper Motorsports in Sterling area, and I use ProMotion Tuning in Fredericksburg Va (a bit south of DC. Best place INHO would be to take the not so bad trip to Evolution Performance in Aston Pa. they do great work and have a great deal on the intake and tunes.

And if you do the Cervini kit you will not wanna lower it trust me mine is stock height, and a lady I met who put the front sides and rear on a vert tried to lower hers, rgeat for show sux for a driver but tooks good without it.

Where exactly are you from?

I can second HBH in Crofton, MD. I had them install 3.73 gears in my 06 GT and they did a great job.

This one was recommended by a fellow Stanger, although I have not been there or use their services yet..

If you don't mind my asking, what did HBH charge for the 3.73 gear install?

I believe it was $700 and that included everything (gears, fluids and etc.). From what I understand that is a bit more but the quality and the results were worth the few extra bucks.

friend of mine uses B&T motorsports in Lorton, VA. Its right by Ft Belvoir. My friend has a 2000 z28 camaro and has had the entire motor pulled and replaced everything(cam, pistons, bottem end, heads, etc...) and added a blower, no problems as of yet. I had my roush dyno'ed there. Seem like a good group of guys.
