Meridian Automotive Design Opinion

Has anyone used Meridian Automotive Design in Los Angeles to upgrade their 996? I want to install the Fabspeed exhaust system.

Hi Mike and welcome to the board.

Most of the guys in the L.A. Orange County area use Lucent for the P-Car mods. The place is run by Arling and Tom both 6speedonline members. I've heard of Meridian and they are a board sponser, like Lucent but I haven't had any experience with them.

I can vouch for the "fantastic" work done by Lucent though.

Good luck on your mods and post some pics of your ride!

Just about anybody and thier sister-in-law can install an exhaust system... so I cannot imagine it getting goofed up.
I have Not heard anything bad about Meridian's work.
I have heard nothing but Good about Lucent's work.
I suggest that you talk with both and go with whomever you have a good feeling about and also works for you logistically and financially.

Several of the Meridian people came from By Design where they worked on my car and they were great. You might also want to check out ByDesign. Just depends on what part of town you live in

Tom at Lucent installed my techart exhaust. He did an excellent job. Arling and Tom are great people to work with.

The guys over at Meridian are enthusiasts... Their Love for the exotics has translated into tuning facility that turns out some amazing work.. Chances are after you leave there. exhuast will be just the begginning of the mod list for you..Use them with confidence .. Great bunch of guys.

I agree with Luting Speed Gallery does great work as well

LUCENT is by far the best shop in WLA. There is not even a close second on the Westside. Other than SP Engineering, which is far from me, it is the only place I buy stuff from.

They are so good that even their "competitors" use them for alignment and installation work! Tom is simply amazing.

think the meridian guys specialize in ferrari's, where as lucent is more a porsche shop. but Danniel is pretty cool over there. it's obvious Lucent is the KING OF PORSCHE MODS FOR WEST LA.
