Default Porsche Performance Shop Near Ft. Lauderdale?

Greetings from a first-time poster to the Florida Forum!

I have a GT4 arriving in early-March and would like to find someone experienced to install a GMG rollbar assembly and, perhaps, some Fabspeed non-cat racing headers. Can anyone recommend a shop in the Ft. Lauderdale area that will do a good job?

Thanks in advance for any help - and I 'll look forward to joining in future car runs with Forum members!

Try MCK engineering in Davie (off 595 behind Signature Grand) MJ is a longtime rennlister. Just my opinion, based on my experiences, but I'd say avoid Gulf Performance.

take the car straight to BGB in Daytona.

They can provide roll bar, exhaust and software that is tried and tested.

The are the Cayman kings.

If you bring your car there in march, chances are your Cayman will be built next to my Cayman Clubsport

for the right software tune-exhaust combo and somebody who can install a cage in a cayman blindfolded, i would drive all the way from the gulf coast.
Id also get them to properly align the car

There you go. Find a shop you trust and you're all set.

Best shop Orbit Racing in Riviera Beach. All they do is Porsche and know racing! They have raced in the 24hrs of Daytona etc.

You will not be sorry. Roger the owner is a great guy!

Stokes Automotive in Hallandale has not been mentioned and is very good too. In Miami I would also recommend Parkhaus1. While I see a nonrecomendation for Gulf Performance I know they also have their fans. Vinnie does know his stuff as do the others I mentioned.

The one to avoid at all costs is Prototech. They promise ridiculous output, take forever, the cars they repair are constantly coming back for the same thing ( that explains why their parking lot is constantly full of the same cars). I deal with a few Porsche suppliers from around the world and they say similar things about this shop.
