Was looking to do a 97-99 Eclipse 2Gb conversion but finding OEM bumpers without having to pay an arm and a leg for shipping from the States seems near impossible.

Up until now, Ebay, and the usual DSM classified sections were my only source for parts, whether performance or non-performance.

Can you guys suggest any of your personal shops where you buy parts for your DSMs?

As of right now I'm looking for places that could land me some bumpers, even a body kit if it came to that (although I do prefer the stock look)... same goes for any shops you may know that specialize in DSMs as I will soon be doing my T-Belt and possibly a 6 bolt swap.... and as we all know, not just anyone can do that, heh.

Thanks in advance!

I would go to Metalex over Magnus anyday.
Reasonable pricing, and Radim is a great guy to shoot the with.
www.Metalexmotorworx.com

I rarely take my car to a shop to be worked on, but if I do
Radim is the man

I'll agree with you Ziggy's an awesome guy ,and great to do business with but really isn't what Yungstar is looking for. RTM Racing(Ziggy) is the canadian distributer of SlowBoy Racing. So anything you can find on slowboyracing.com he will be able to hook u up with, without dealing with US customs.

Like mentioned earlier, your going to pay top $ for work at Magnus, but Marco DOES know what he's doing. I've had a couple of things fab'ed up for me by Arnel, used to work for Marco, but last heard was with Ultimate Racing.

Another option is Ultimate Racing. If Arnel is still there I'd trust him with anything DSM related. But if you don't know Johnson your going to have to pay.

Metalax - As for having your car getting stolen from there...whatever. That was just a stupid comment. I know that it has happened but theres going to be a risk anytime you leave your car anywhere, after all its Toronto. Radim is one of the best DSM mechanics around, and does some pretty nice fab work.

Canspeed - Never been there, don't know anyone that has but if your car gets stolen from there...no worries, theres only like 5 DSM's in barrie.

Theres another shop, called Force Power, but its far, out in ingersoll. My car is getting the full works done there. DSM's only, really good shop. www.forcepower.ca. The name of the guy who owns it is Mark.

Edit: Magnus hasnt been getting very good reviews lately. There work seems to be getting sloppy, specially because Marco is too busy with fabrication and doesnt actually work on the cars himself much anymore.

And what would the works be if you don't mind me asking?

Well im not putting down $100,000 on it, its just getting restored....the engine is new, only 2300 miles, from magnus. Body/Underbody are being redone, interior is being fixed up, engine is being pulled(again) to get the engine bay painted and detailed, AC removed, cruise removed, i'm just getting it cleaned up a bit. As i said a new motor is in there already, has Ross pistons, didnt have the money to do that much to the motor at the time and got a new Big 16G put in. When i bought the car it was rough, but its coming along. And i got no problem with you asking, but why do you ask?

Cool, im pretty new to this, only 19 years old so. You on Club DSM forums? Force Power has been mentioned through there, they are becoming very popular.

If your new to this, your going to get hook in a big way. Theres nothing quite like AWD + turbo. I've been around DSM's for about 6 yrs now. I own 2 of them. I have a fwd and an awd. I'm 30, and yes I've been a member of Club DSM for years. The guys from Forcepower didn't get off to a good start at Club DSM. They unintentionally insulted alot of ppl, which really hurt them on the forum. They didn't realize a large number of DSM owners work on their cars themselves, and made a stupid comment about 'mouse pad mechanics & DSM hack jobs', not knowing that there are a bunch of guys on the site that know more than 99% of the mechanics out there when it comes to DSM's. Get a manual and start working on the car yourself, that way you'll have more $ for mods .
