Autofab is literally 3 minutes up the road from me. I had gears done there years ago, and they overcharged me. Took them two weeks too, and they charged me to "store" my car there. Seems they have a reputation for playing games to squeeze more money out of people.
I hadn't been there in a few years...went to see if I could buy wheel studs there when I needed them for the Impala. They had the front door open, with a "do not cross" tape across the doorway, and would not even acknowledge that I was there, trying to get inside. There must have been 7 people in there, laughing, totally ignoring me, even though I was like "hello?....hello?" 5 feet away from them.
So, I'll never go back to that place for any reason. And I make sure to tell everyone about how they rip people off and are extremely rude. Maybe they can build a car, I don't know. But I would rather pay double somewhere else than to give Autofab any more of my business.

You've taken the gayest car ever made and put a V8 in it.
Practically the biggest middle finger at the EPA ever conveyed in a vehicle.
There's hope for mankind yet.
God bless you, Sir.

I've actually seen this car being worked on. I didn't see it with the engine in yet, these pics are a little more recent than what I saw. I got to see the shell cleaned out. I had my car up at Autofab having my procharge put on, and had to ask wtf! I hate that you're taking this car back to Boston, I want to see this thing run at capitol first!

I created a Facebook page for the build, with all the questions coming from all over it will hopefully help keep it accurately updated. Check it out, like and share! Or hate and complain. Either way on facebook it's LSX Prius
