Fender rolling on the front and rear is complete. From what I saw, their work was flawless.

The detailer is here and is about to do his thing. I'm not really sure what to expect since I've never had the car detailed before, but Tray has assured me that I won't be dissapointed. I neglected to bring my camera so I'm forced to settle with just after pics.

[jktripp]

awesome!! at least after pics will be good... good news on the rolling

[ZenMotors]

Here are a few Pictures of the Fender Rolling.

And Here are the pictures of the Auto Detail. Sorry I didn't get very good pictures from before. But I must say the detail was a major improvement.

I'll be straight up, I was a little apprehensive about driving 2 hours to get a detail and have my fenders rolled, especially since they're fairly new and I've only heard a little bit about em around IA and EvoAtl. So here's my review:

From the time I pulled up and was greeted by Tray and his techs, the service continued to get better. They immediately got to work on the fenders while I chilled inside the office and watched what seemed like every episode of Top Gear! The owner, Dan, came in around noonish and was equally as professional, courteous and a little on the goofy side like Tray. I had a blast talking about random bullshit with these guys.

Shortly after Dan came in, the detailer arrived, introduced himself and wasted no time getting to work on the interior of the car while the techs finished up the fenders. To be honost, the detailer pissed me off a few times. He reminded me on two seperate occassions how bad my car needed to be detailed....I kept thinking to myself, why the fuck do think I drove 2 hours and paid $90 to get the shit done.....cause it needs it! When he was done and I actually got to sit down and talk to him, he turned out to be a cool guy.......a good ole boy, but cool nonetheless :)

The owner, Dan, is funny ass dude. He had me rollin with his goofy ass antics! At the same time, both Tray and Dan are very knowledgable and are pretty well connected in the tuner world.

Tray is a former TopSpeed employee (not sure if he wanted me to mention that or not) and Dan is well known in both the Evo and Lexus communities. They're currently building Dan's Lexus IS which is subject to put down somewhere in the 700HP range. They're building 2 600+ HP Evos, one of which was featured in S3 Magazine.

Anyway, would I recommend em, absolutely...give em a try. Their customer service, quality of work and dedication is on par with or even exceeds that of most shops I've been to....and I've literally been all over the country and even had work done in Japan and Germany.

Keep in mind, this is based soley on the work I had done.

[jktripp]

wow!!! nice work Zen motors (as usual) !!!!!! the detailing job looks great!

Sorry man if I rubbed you the wrong way! Also "good ole boy?" WTF! :( But hey about your car, sorry but I am a perfectionist, and if my style of car care kinda pissed you off, then I am sorry for that! I am the type to just say something to my face then and there. After I finished I just wanted to give you a heads up on your car, what I saw, and would take to make it better. Did not mean to put your car down, because well its an evo and red, best of both worlds for me! I just point out alot of the more severe things and what it would take to fix it. To make the sure the car was to your satisfaction, and what it would take to bring it back to almost brand new! Plus some recomendations on the future to keep what you just paid for in that condition!

I mean good ole boy in the best possible way bro. If you look at my post in my local area forum, you would see that I was comparing you to two of my closest personal friends :) And like I said in the latter, you are a cool ass dude and a damn good detailer. I apologize if I came off as insulting in any way...that was not my intention at all.

And I took your advice and sprayed it down when I got back. http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/anthonyb4y2k/100_0181.jpg?t=1247794792

Superb job on the fenders....zero rubbing

Thanks again.

Dont worry I took zero offensive to good ole boy! Wouldnt be the first person to call me that! Hell I drove off in a loud ass mustang...what more do you need for the title! :p Wasnt hard to dry it after you sprayed it was it?

Bruh, night and day difference from before. Took a few wipes and I was done. The wife already wants me to drop off her SUV. You thought I didnt take care of my car, she absolutely refuses to do any type of manual labor :eek: Needless to say, we did just buy it a few months ago, so its the interior you'll have to worry about the most.

[EVILutionVIII]

Hey Evil, what are the specs on the rims? size and offset please!

18x9.5 +23

[jktripp]

weird... from one picture set to the next, it looks as though the offset and concave got a bit different....:D

both look great. turned out fantastic.

[em1toevo]

Looks great! Makes me want to detail mine.

[em1toevo]

Btw, how many sets of rims do you have? Both are sexy as hell.

[Evolvedgti]

18x9.5 +23

Nice. I have 18*9.5 +20. I was trying to figure out how close they were to mine. Thanks.

P.S what tires, size that is.

[Apex i ITR]

weird... from one picture set to the next, it looks as though the offset and concave got a bit different....:D

It looks more concave because of that wet wet. LOL

Detail job was nice....I plan on going back next week or the week after for the full monty.

[ZenMotors]
