    Raw, as you have probably seen, Deyman from Lux Dent Repair helps out with a lot of our cars. Lucci Elite doesn't polish over dents like other correction artists, we keep it 100%.

    Recently I have shipped two cars with JP Logistics (A Lexus IS-F from LA-->Washington DC, and a Lamborhini Diablo from NY-->Calabasas) for clients. George also handles our local shipping for the shop if need be.

    As far as dyno tuning, we work closely with SP Engineering and I have lots of connections for wheels and tires via HRE, WB, and others. Everything in the esthetics category is handled in house, while everything else is out-sourced.

    I recently realized that the performance of my G37 was not quite where it should be, and I knew something had to be done. I thought of the obvious, sway bars are a simple straight-forward bolt on that totally changes the dynamic of the car. Hotchkis is a name mostly known for their domestic parts but they have started branching out into foreign cars. I contacted my friend Michael Heintz who works for Hotchkis at their headquarters here in Southern California about getting some installed on my car. I got my parts installed by some other friends of mine (Darin and Chris) at West End Alignment in Gardena, CA. They did a great job on the install! Everything went together perfectly of course; Hotchkis included all of the necessary hardware to make the install a breeze. I am a person who appreciates the details in things, a swaybar sounds like a pretty basic item and it really is, but the Hotchkis G37 swaybars have got more thought into them than the competition. The welds and the paint on the swaybars are both at a level that you don’t see with other companies. After getting the swaybars installed I had to do the one obvious thing and took a spirited drive back in the hills of Malibu, CA. These are tight curvy back roads that push man and machine to the limit. With the Hotchkis swaybars, WOW is the only response that came to mind. The car is totally different beast! It went from good to great for only a couple hundred dollars. For those that are considering upgrading the swaybars on their G37 I highly recommend Hotchkis. Here are a few pics! Enjoy!

    Arrival:

    Installed: super easy process

    During the alignment the customer gets to sit in the car to get a 100% accurate job. Typically body weight can throw off your alignment 1/8 to 1/4 of a degree depending on how big you are.

    A good friend of mine was involved in a serious car accident on Monday night. She had to be cut out of the car and was rushed to the hospital. She went through a breakup just a few days prior; it reminded me of the same situation I was in during late 2011.

    Keep your eyes open, your mind focused and always remember to live your life with honesty, integrity, and dedication. Clear out all the distractions, and never give up. Live your life as an ongoing experiment; keep everything the same and change on aspect using a "control" to figure out what you want out of your days, hours, and minutes you are on this planet.

    God Bless,

    So I decided to go on a 3 day trip to SF and Napa over Memorial Day Weekend; I was out with the guys, got a random text and locked it in like 6 hours before I left. Running on no sleep we mobbed it up with my buddy getting a speeding ticket in the process. Overall it was a great trip.

    Since I work in the Aerospace Industry I loved the decor of our hotel.

    amazing view; I could watch the jets I build every day land and takeoff while eating breakfast
