I need to get my c5 tubbed for these the wheels i got. Anyone have any suggestions on who does good work in houston or north houston area? I priced the lingenfelter kit..goes for $800 on the website. Let me know who does good work and fast.

 

Good
Fast
Cheap

Pick two

 

haha..good and cheap

 

There is no such thing. Go to the corvette forum and do a search its not that hard to do you can do it yourself for about $100.00 you might have to take the car to an interior shop to have the carpet streched over the larger wheel wells.But that shouldnt be over $50.00.

 

pics of wheels?

 

i heard mti did them

 

I've heard of MTI doing the installs too. If I remember correcly LG has a DIY (in a way) kit available too.

Let me do some hunting, but a friend of mine that had a computer tech site at one time posted an extremely detailed how-to on the tubs that him and a friend did.

 

yah man let me know, like to do it myself if possible..won't name the shop but they was $2200 to do it including the kit.

 

not yet but they are the iforged aeros..got a hella deal on them with brand new pilots

 

hey guys got off the phone with Richey Collision, they seem to be recommended in their paint work. Taking it in on monday to see what they'll do but he's says it won't be more than $900 so most likely go with them.

 

Good choice.

 

Let me know how it turn out. I would like to do that to my vette someday to and put some 325 in the rear!

 

definetly..update ya'll after i talk to them on monday.

 

how big are you going in the rear??

 

Can I get the link to the kit?

You should be able to fit a 345 on the rear once you tub it. Look up the user "grond" on the corvette forum. He has a post where he installed his own mini tubs himself with no prior experience and they turned out really nice.

The Tech Zone How To Tub A Corvette Im telling you it is'nt that hard look at these picks.If you have a weekend this can be done pretty easy.for about $100.00 fiberglass,gorilla glue,and a can of paint.

 

I forgot a cheap paint brush for the glass and 60 grit sandpaper so the glass will bond good..

 

Richey is making their own kits..the kit is on lingenfelter.com for $795 try to find the link.
