Well, I agree that their work is crappy. I havent ever seen anything they did that I liked. However they are smart as hell. They are doing work that you could get done anywhere (ie rims, systems) but catering to rich people and charging out the a** for it. I mean, it doesnt really cost 5k to install rims on a lambo, but when its some stupid pro athlete that has more money than they know what to do with, who is going to complain. Its genius.

If that is indeed the TV show that I was refering to, I am not too impressed. I have seen shows in which a NBA player brings a Ferrari or MB and all they do is to put some stupid 24" spinners with No limit bling bling crap.

Seriously, many of the jobs they do is just putting ugly aftermarket rims that cost like $8000 a set and the Unique Whips owner comes out and hugs the customer and typically tells him: Ya Dog! Do you like the rims?

that shop looks like it's going to ish (based on the last episode I saw)

remi is the lead installer who does all the good work and without him the shop is NOTHING

most of the other (new) installers appear to be b*****'s and whiners
