This is funny, because I was thinking yesterday “what happened to all the real tuners?”

I’m not talking about shops who can order parts and put them on the car. These are parts sellers. I’m talking about real tuners. A place where I can take a specific car, and they can give me options for real tuning based on what I am doing with the car. Something to actually improve the handling and power curve of the vehicle, without making it look like shit.

Mugen did that back in the day, maybe they still do, but I havent seen much in the way of that other than aero parts and some higher spring rates for a while. They did have there Superchargers for the Fit.

There are still some out there, but they seem to be few and far between. The only ones you still here about are AMG and MOPAR.

I guess I’m the opposite of you. I really like tuner cars. But I like TUNER cars, not cars with a bunch of crap bolted on.
