Where do you go to get your mods done

I was just wondering where most people go to have performance parts installed on your evo. Do you go to a private professional, Mitsubishi dealership, or do you do it yourself. Just looking for some feedback, thanks.

Wait, void warranty? My dealer said that as long as I let them install everything for $100/hr, then they will take care of me. Is my warranty voided? =(

War if hasn't voided your warranty yet, they did when they saw your car on the cover!

ajones, if you plan on modding and want to try and hide that from , get to know some mechanically enclined friends or a nice shop.

My cams and clutch were done by Andy at Outlaw Motorsports in Ohio. Header, turbo, O2 housing and intercooler I had help from a friend. Everything else was done by me.

Yeah I did 90% of my own work, I am not paying someone $60 an hour when they will probably screw it up anyway. I just dont like to do internal stuff too much and my clutch was installed by a friend of my brothers in PA who does almost nothing but DSM work.
