Lucent Motors in West Los Angeles-

Lucent Motors in West Los Angeles is an excellent place. When I went there last Friday I was so pleased to see so many exotic cars in one place. They had my buddy's GT3 in for a custom KW Motorsport racing suspension, many other high-end Porsches including a Guards Red Carrera GT, and they even had an old Dino Ferrari which was getting very extensive work done. Many M3's and Mercedes as always also.

So I was just checking in last week since I was in the area. I was wondering if I could get a few wheel boxes for shipping some wheels I have, so I asked one of the guys "Tom" for some wheel boxes. I was so surprised to see how helpful and nice he is, he helped me out big time.

Thanks to Tom at Lucent Motors. I defiantly recommend this place to anyone who needs to get any work done to an "Exotic ()"... They are very professional and they have always done top-notch work on all of my buddies cars. Trust me, I have seen a lot of "name-brand" tuner shops do mickey-mouse type of work after owning two fully sponsored/tuned M3s.....

Hmm, I've been looking for a good shop to paint or maybe powdercoat my GT2 wheels, I'll have to see what Tom can do for me....

I have not met Arling yet, I will someday soon though.

I have purchased some parts from Arling (including my TechArt bumper). I visited his shop once as well. I agree with your assessment.

Sorry, if this is an old topic but can someone tell me why Arling does not participate on 6Speed anymore? I did a search but nothing came up.

I think he was banned here on 6speed (I hope I'm wrong ). Anyway, been there to have the PSS9 installed and brake job. Does Tom still take his cigar brake?
