I have only had good experiences with ByDesign. They did a lot of work for me and I purchased quite a few parts from them in 2003.

I had some dealings with them, but i would not go back to them. I am not in the habit of badmouthing people in an open forum, however if you want specifics of my encounter, simply pm me and i will tell you.

if you have problems you should make them public, everyone knows when they get good service they don't hesitate in talking about it

I have been dealing with them for years. I actually bought my TT from them. It was Mikes personal car and there poster car for a while. I also bought some wheels, and had them install a Kleeman boost kit on my SL55 a couple months ago. They are not bad at all. They sometimes take long to get the work done, but they usually try to make up for it by giving you other things at deals or something.
