no doubt that Lai is quoting us a slightly higher price, but somehow, he has give me a very satisfying workmanship and everything he has done to my car is superb.
my advice, try to negotiate as much as possible, it's negotiable....he quoted me 190 for mandrel bent piping, 1.8", is that expensive? compare to Wai Heng or Wei Yip, damn 9 expensive, but their welding way? 2" centre box also can be weld to a 1.5" piping, and the work is damn messy, when I wanna take back my CAT, they give me a spoilt one, really cheap, 100 for piping....but somehow, I'd go for ah lai or jian hang...
I went for Jian Hang, he quoted me 250 for piping, centre bullet(customed made) and custom job on extractor, somehow i'm satisfied...why? Because evcerything is nicely done.
Ah Lai, don't ever bring your own things to let him do, he will feel pissed off....that's the only problem about him, others...I don't doubt that
