Default Imagine Auto in Kansas

I am looking to do some mod work in the midwest on my 997.2 C2S 6 speed.
Any experiences with Imagine Auto?

thanks

Owned by Stephen Kaspar, he's a long time Porsche guy who developed a great reputation for tuning 930's. Served as a technical advisor for Panorama for a while.

While I don't personally have experience with them, I think you'd be in good hands

They are a class operation, and they know more than most shops I have done business with.

I believe they're a site sponsor too.

Jen,

I am considering coil-overs and exhaust.

Frank
ps: How did the Swissvax work out? Was it easy to apply and remove? How does it look? How does the surface feel to touch after the was? Feel free to PM me.

Phil,

I just called Imagineauto (number from google). No answer.... They blog site's most recent post is from January 09. I think you are right Phil. Anyone with information on reputable 997.2 aftermarket installers and specialists in the state of Missouri or nearby?

closed up. do a search on 6speed as there was a large thread about it (I think in the 996Turbo forum).

I was fortunate, he only beat me out of $300

I have yet to swissvax...the car was detailed completely by Chris's dealership before shipping and the Venture shield was installed flawlessly. You can not see it. The dealer has a very complete tuning subdivision who installed the Lojack and did the detail. For a mod for me, I would take it to their dealer. I haven't planned any yet! I was so impressed after the inital wash that I did not want to ruin that fabulous detail. So, I am going to detail completely over the july 4th weekend! i'll let you know then, but I can tell you it smells really good!
Can't wait to hear about your mods!
