Default IconAutosports...

I can't say enough about Mike Pabon (IconAutosports)...He's became a good friend over the years and of course an outstanding LSX technician. The car went back under the knife again for the new Textralia Triple Disc install along with a few minor "tweeks" here and there.

Mike has been extremely busy with BIG project cars, but always seems to find a way to "squeeze" me in. His workmanship is 2nd to none and thats why I'll never use anyone else when it comes to major projects for my car. Mike stayed at the shop until 9:00pm last night to finish up the car so I could have it for the weekend... Now thats service. Thanks "again" Mike!!

LOL. ICON has made some fast cars and the shop supports the speed-addicted community well for local events. Good work and please keep helping Dennis try to hook so he can keep up with us

PS: Mike, when will the ole Firehawk be ready to roll?
