Hawaii residents, please read!

So a set of BMR subframe connectors, for my 94 vert, were supposed to be installed today by Exhaust Systems Hawaii. I went over there this morning and the installer tells me they can't do it. So I'm kinda like....."okay...." I scheduled an appointment a week in advance, because this is my only off-day in a while, so I'm obviously very upset over the whole situation. Anyways, I need to know of a good shop that can install/weld these SFC. Please let me know! Thanks!

Were these the BMR subframes meant for a vert? Sorry not from hawaii, so cant help with shops... Any place with a lift/welder should be able to do it (muffler shops)

Yes, they're the SFC for verts. Any suggestions from people that live here?

Did they give you a reason for not doing it? It's really simple, just a couple of welds that's all. The only things you need to pay attention to is not weld too close to the fuel lines, not do a long, continuous weld (or you risk burning your carpet) and make sure the car sits on its wheels so that the suspension is preloaded.

Got mine done at Performance Auto Care in Waipio. They seem to do lots of f-bodies and Impala SS. Mostly cop cars I believe, as the owner is former HPD. The welds were not the nicest but it works. I can't remember how much I paid but I'm thinking it was around $75(don't quote me on this though). Also, you might want to try Barr's in Kaneohe.
