Looking for a shop in Florida for Saturday installs

I need a shop in between Miami and Orlando that would be willing to install a few things for me this Saturday. (i'm located in West Palm Beach)

I need a Perrin Catback exhaust installed, hotchkis springs, as well as a vortex generator installed (cake)

Billet Designs wont be able to do it this weekend and Japtrix does not work the weekends. Other than those two places I don't really know of any other decent shops that have Evo experience.

I know Orlando has some decent places from what I have read on the boards, but i'm not sure now.

If anyone has any input please let me know. Also include phone numbers and/or website address if possible.

Thanks.

Exhaust is simple as hell to install, go buy some ramps and put the exhaust on, vortex generator is the same...find the write-up and do it as for the springs just wait for billet to do it for you. I know marco there and he is amazing with the work he does. Any specific reason why you need it done on saturday?

I would rather pay a professional to do this for me.

This has to be done on Saturday because I have 0 time during the weekdays.

No offense or anything but exhaust is probally one of the most easiest things to install on this car, you just unbolt and bolt. My exhaust was the first thing i've ever done on any car EVER. Maybe instead of having a professional do it since you don't got time pay some EVO buddies in the area to help you out, i'm sure they'd maybe do it for free. If I was still at home in parkland i'd help ya out if you needed it, but i'm up here in jacksonville now taking classes at UNF. I'd say to keep trying for billet if nothing else works.

It does seem simple but the guy at JSC said this perrin catback might need some "custom rigging"

i'll do it all in my driveway for a reasonable rate this is all really easy stuff. most shops prob wont do it cause its so low-end. try a tire shop or general muffler shop or something. its just labor you are looking for.....nothing custom.

even if you take it to a reputable shop and get charged $100/hr in labor, none of the experienced guys will do it. they will have one of their 18yr old HS dropout lackys do the work.

Custom rigging so they can charge you more, sweet.

He's right aswell, they'll prob have somone do it who isn't anymore experienced than you because it's an easy job. You might aswell do it yourself and have some fun doing it, I was skeptical about doing it all myself at first. I put my exhaust on and i've done everything myself since and I love it
