From what I have heard SLP has an authorized installation center somewhere in Addision. Can anyone tell me the name of this shop or where it is at or provide the phone number? Thanks for any info that can be provided people.

Its probably a dealership not sure which one. What are you looking for to get installed we carry all of SLPs products and can install any of them.

I sent SLP an E-Mail about a week ago with no response. The reason I am asking is because I wanted to check the place out and ask some questions. One of the reasons I am looking is the idea of trying to keep the car as "pure" as possible in fact that it would be SLP parts purchased and installed by an SLP authorized center. I have heard of FLP. Heard good things about them. As for Street Stuff, honestly I don't really much care for them. Let's just say they have not impressed me or left good impressions upon me.

I am very much aware of Speed Inc. I just tryingt to find out if there is actually an authorized SLP around the Chicago area as I have heard more then once. Does anyone know if such a place exists or not in the area? From what I heard a car could be upfitted into a Firehawk at this so-called shop. I know this would not be a production Firehawk, but it would be done to SLP Firehawk standards.
