    I have a friend who needs to have some work done on their truck, and I cant get down there. I need to know of some good shops near the Redondo Beach area. Not "Good" as in you dated a gal that knew a guy that worked there, or you have a drinking bud that works at one, but "Good" as in do top quality work, at a fair price. Any help would be great!

    Tell the socal peeps to set up a mod day for your friend. Plenty of us have installed them before. Don't know any shop in that area but i'm sure somebody will chime in.

    I'll be in the next town over from Redondo next weekend. I've installed my own Icon leafs and I need to do a little work on them anyways. If it still needs to be done then I'll be more than happy to help.

    Another thing to consider! Thank you!
