Default New Guy question

Hey all, I'm new on the scene and on the boards. I'm from Norfolk near ODU. I have a stock 91 Accord EX. I'm looking to get some parts ordered and work done through GT Customs (formerly Graphic Trends) and I was wondering if anyone has had an experience dealing with them.

Upcoming mods:
New struts and Eibach springs lowered 1.5"
Injen Short Ram intake (can't get a CAI because Colley Ave floods alot)

Also looking for a good paint shop. I've been recommended to The Paint Shop in Virginia Beach.
I'm looking to get a stock spoiler and paint the car the same dark blue as the new RSXs

Future Mods:
New exhaust (headers, Hi-flow cat, exhaust)
18" rims
new interior (upholstry, gauges, face, shift knob & boot, )
and maybe H22 swap w/ turbo, but we'll see what the wifey says about that one.

Anyways, I hope to see you guys around.

holy shit, tim? whats up man, this is leigh. a little heads up...id go with a NO on the 18" rims...especially on a 91 accord. more advice...go with coilovers rather than springs...youll like it better. the paint shop is good for paint, but hella expensive, and ive heard they take a while. but yeah man, if youve got any other questions, feel free to hit me up, you know the sn.

GT- i tried ordering something from them a while back. i never got the part and i have never been back to the store since.
the paint shop - a buddy of mine had his car painted there. they did a pretty decent job, but there were lots of little flaws here and there. they also took about a month to paint it. so be sure to have a back up beater car.

I'm pretty sure they're not flood proof; just protects against normal water accumulation. He's right, Colley gets pretty deep.

I dont think you can do that on a turbo vehicle.
