I just use some 3M quarter inch or 3/8 thick tape foam stuff that I put on the edges after I do the final mounting and that's it

it really is, I wish I had the mental capacity to learn tuning lol but I know my limits and even tried with tuning school but yeah that ain't happening. So I stick to what I know and what im good at, learning more along the way.
 
made these panels a while back for a trans am, that's been a big hit at car shows. I don't have the time to build a lot on my CNC table these days but this was really cool to do.

The light must be doing funny things and that finish must look better in person because it looks pretty erratic in the photographs. Fit and shape of the panels looks good though.

How do people find you / your shop? Is it all through FB or something else?

Facebook lol its all I use it for, the only marketing I do. but word of mouth brings in 50% or more. NY, CT, FL, GA KY customers and everywhere else out of state is all from Facebook posts.

It is really cool believe me I was super shocked and surprised the first time I got my out-of-state customer from Connecticut 3 years ago and it's just grown since like this Grand Wagoneer that I just showed pictures of he was from Florida. To give an example in Florida he was quoted 48 to 56k to do a gen 5 6.2 swap with a 10-speed through me he got the whole thing done parts and labor out the door for 28k. And I'm no Pro for by no means the best but people are getting quality work for a very good price and that's what keeps me going

not for sale lol, 1 owner fully restored and with this Gen 5 swap now that thing would be worth probably 65k lol. but he won't. You're not the first person to have asked LOL I've had many other customers in the shop ask the same thing

Tell him I will give him a bucket of rusty nails, and crisp $100 US Bill and I can come pick it up tomorrow
