Well I had my TRD lowering springs installed to take that damn 4x4 out of the sky...lol. Unfortunately the shop somehow pierced the CV boot on the passenger side while installing these. I was not a happy camper. Fortunately, after showing them my business card (from the law firm I work for) they decided to pay for the repair. Anyways, I am extremely pleased with the results. Here are a few pics from the show I attended on Sunday. Hope you enjoy.

Hey Shawn....how did you guys do in the show you all went to a week ago? Well anyways, yea I went to Custom Autoworks...mainly because they could work around my work schedule and b/c I've done business with the before....but that will change. Definately not going back there. Oh well...you live and learn I guess. Must say your Cam was looking awsome when I saw it with those new 18s...definately keep up the good work.

whats up Tee, your car is very hot right now. i thought you got those springs installed at the car store. i've heard alot about autoworks too. The car store installed my 18s and after you left that day they broke 3 of my studs on the front drivers side.on top of that they lost the paper work to my purchase of the wheels. they wasn't going to let me pay for the wheels. it just so happen i had my receipt. if i didn't have it i would have to take them off. i didn't have to pay for the install and they replaced the studs so i'm happy but they pissed me off with their additudes and the way they handle their business. the slammsessions show was a sucess for our club. we took 1st place in ford mild, 2nd place accord mild, 3rd in both suv mini and neon mild. they had me in with supras, celicas, and corllas which made it hard for me to win. i'm still happy at my new look camry but don't go to the car store for nothing if you live near Charlotte N.C. i'm out but holla at me soon.

Boy....that sucks...but man I can relate. Had to take a day off work to get this all taken care of. I won't go to the Car Store for now on. They had some good deals on rims...pritty tempting I must say. Oh well. Well anyways...congrads on the club's success....and damn these shows for only having 1 toyota category. I faced the same thing this last Sunday in Farmington at the Spring Slamfest by OutlawImports.com. Those Supras and Celicas are hard to beat....but I found out I got 3rd....too bad they only have out 1st and 2nds. Oh well....life goes on. Well keep up the good work and talk to you later.
