Hey I just moved here from J-ville, FL and I was wondering if there are any performance shops here in Colorado Springs that are reputable or are they all in the Denver area? Somethings like fine tuning my coilovers and my camber kit I might need a lil help with.

You may have to take it to different places for different jobs.
For suspension, I recommend Hurricane. They've always done good by me w/ me vehicles.
For exhaust, I say Frontrange muffler on Cascade, or Catfish in Security. Both of those places have shown great customer service and quality.
For engine mod'n: Learn yourself, or take it to Tobi (Denver). Otherwise, there are none I know of in the Springs.

My brother takes his Civic to Hot Boys or Boyz. I think it's in the area of I-25 and Circle Drive. I live in Denver but I can get a contact number from my bro. He's been happy with everything they have done for him, from body work to engine mods, and the prices are reasonable.

First welcome to the Springs. I'm down in fountain. I just moved here myself and haven't heard of any shops in the Spring area. Maybe we can hook up some time and check out these shopd together. BTW: What type of car do you have?

I've heard good things about ZCspeed as well. If you want to look around, here is a contact number for Hot Boyz Customs. (719)4714388. Shawn has done excellent work for my bro, so check them out too.

One thing about Jack is he's always busy, but if you can wait he's well worth it, I don't know if he even has a name but his shop.

talk to civictypr, great customer service and knows what they are doing
Yeah..I know it's an old thread.
Anyway, I wouldn't recommend Hot Boyz Customs. Took them nearly 5 months to fix some minor hail damage and put on a body kit. My big mistake was paying them upfront. Once they had my money, they were in no hurry to get the work done. Car after car came in AFTER mine and was worked on first. I knew a guy who was "friends" with some of the guys that worked there. He kept me informed of what was going on. I kept going in there and bugging them and they had a new excuse every time.
Once the car was done, the paint was peeling, the bodykit was breaking off, etc. Terrible work.

Are you trying to be a Hot Boy? Whyd you go there in the first place rather then a reputable body shop?
