my friend jay did his and a few others... after watching him, i had him help me do mine..

really, its so simple that anyone could do it at home with a dremel. its not like doing cyl heads or anything.. just sit down infront of the TV, put something down on the coffee table, and have at it for a couple evenings.

if you're intrested in doing it yourself, im sure me and a few other guys could give ya pointers.

the term best is based off of a opinion.

when asking ANYTHING car related, if your question uses the word best, its a good idea to rephrase it to terms more meaningful or specific.

noone does it best.

Thanks for the replies and PMs. I'm not asking anyone to break forum rules.

Considering how inexpensive it is, I'd rather save the time and send it out. I'll do some of the more expensive jobs myself.

New Era Performance does top notch work. I have one of thier ported TB and I love it. Looks beautiful and for $75 you just can't beat it. They are a sponsor and Mike is awesome to deal with.
