starting at $320 for all 4 depending on how crazy you wanna get with them

those prices also include stripping of any old paint, sand blasting, prep and all oatings also!

[SuicidnS13]

Do the wheels have to be taken apart?

[Garage.Works]

it would be easyer for the both of us

[Mister.E]

That's not too bad of a price. I just want to get them done up in like a neon/fluorescent yellow. pretty much identical to those Gram Lights with the crazy yellow color.

[TwItCh]

dang im going to have to go out to vegas more often now

[DLo Eric]

We have a south east side meet on Tuesday nights. Been pretty 240 friendly as of recently. Everyone should come check it out. (It's literally a couple blocks from me)

yea it would be the lowest basic price then since there just solid single shot colors.

thinking of doing a Grand Opening BBQ around the first week of Sept for the new shop...what do you guys think? Input?

[SuicidnS13]

Start promoting it on vegas drift and lvracingscene.com. Also I suggest a soft opening and then maybe after a month of service throwing a grand openong bbq, car show kinda meet. September is roughly a month away, october is a better month weather wise and would allow you more headroom on promoting your new shop/services to the local community. Also offer some prizes (shop service???) to the best cars of your event. So on and so fourth. Promoted right your grand opening event could generate positive buzz about your new shop which could help gaurantee your success in Vegas's questionable economy.

i do like that input alot! Thank you for it.

I will start going out to all the meets (where ever they are i have to find that out still lol) and start passing around flyers to everyone there, talking to them and getting to know people.

The shop will have displays hung up around the walk in area as well for customers to check it out as well.

Wednesday night at WTf Wednesdays/Fuk Burger is a large meet which caters to most of the import crowds. Cars and Coffee on saturday mornings caters to everyone. There are a few thursday night meets too. And off course the tuesday night henderson meet up. That right there should cover all of your basis. Id talk to the owners of Vegas Speed, Insane Speed and Hondoctors for a referral system with them. DDS is another shop as well. Unfortunately the bulk of your business wont come from 240 owners as these guys really dont build show cars. They build beaters to drift and budget accordingly. Im in pretty close with Team Hybrid, so if youd like I could formally introduce you to there show team. Those guys and their friends spend serious coin on show pieces.

Looks like were gonna be good friends once I get into town!! Hahah I figured so much on the 240 crowd..but then again..we do loooove crazy colors :P I interduced myself on lvracingscene and some of those shops you listed have already told me to come on down and talk once I get there as well.

I did some undercover calling a couple weeks ago to some companys there and I couldn't find anything less then $95 a wheel for 16s in candy purple

[Garage.Works]

my price for all four wheels in candy anything is $320 and that includes all blasting, prep and coatings. So I'm really excited to see what it brings for the custom side of las vegas.

Yea your pricing is Good to Go, you just need some serious cars rocking your work and quick to get the word out. Cars that make it out to the weekly meets with a decent look will bring you business for sure. Id try and find a few guiness pigs like a high end EVO, high end 240, high end WRX, civics ect... That way people have something to see and you have people allready outthere whoring out your work. Hook em up phat and your return should be as good.

This Saturday, see you guys there!

[xsnipex]

wassup fellas! im new here in sincity..would like to know more about the 240 scene here! been wanting to go to a 240 meet for awhile, never been to one haha~ .

[SuicidnS13]

We dont really have 240 meets anymore, but there are weeknight meets tues-thursday at different locations in the city. All of them are a mixture of cars...

[fatlace808]

I was jus on the u drift site and I noticed u can rent cars can someone tell me how that works. My car I'm bringing is an auto zenki (my stay outta trouble car lol) I'm moving to vegas mainly to drift so yah I'd like sumtnin to slide till I get a legit drift car again

[SuicidnS13]

Yea Udrift has multiple 240s for rent. Pretty much stock platforms except for Welded Diffs and some bolt ons. You pay like $50.00 for I believe skid pad time and 3-6(I forget) laps around the lot. You also get to choose between a dry and a wet lot.

[fatlace808]

So can u do the course or only the skid pad with the rentals?

[Mister.E]

it's all a skid pad. the course is outlined with cones.

[fatlace808]

Oh sick so u can choose wat course u wanna do

[Mister.E]

no, the course covers the whole pad usually. they change it up every now and then though, so it's not always the same thing. there are two courses on two pads; one is wet and one is dry.

[fatlace808]

Sick oh and one more thing do u need a valid neveda drivers license cause I only get my hawaii one and its on suspension for one more year

[SinCityS14]

[Mister.E]

[SuicidnS13]

[fatlace808]
