Why ESM for performance parts
Most speed shops stop at the install. We’re a protection and detailing studio too, so every part is fitted by the same in-house team that protects your paint, and your car comes back as clean as it arrived.
01
Precise fitment
Parts are test-fitted and aligned before final install, so panels, tips, and trim line up the way they should.
02
Torqued to spec
Hardware is installed and torqued to manufacturer specifications, then rechecked before handover.
03
Protect what you add
Pair new carbon and paint-matched parts with paint protection film or ceramic coating, applied in the same visit.
04
Honest guidance
Straight answers on parts and fitment, so you invest in upgrades that suit how you drive.

FAQ.
Got questions? We’ve got answers. Here’s everything you need to know about working with us.
Can I bring my own parts?
Yes. We install customer-supplied parts and can also help you source them. We’ll confirm fitment before booking your install.
How long does an install take?
It depends on the part and vehicle. Intakes, exhausts and brake pads are typically quicker jobs, while coilovers and body kits take longer. We’ll confirm timing with your quote.
Is it legal to install an aftermarket intake or exhaust in California?
It depends on the part. In California, a part that could affect emissions needs a CARB Executive Order (EO) number to be street-legal, which Smog Check stations can verify. Send us the part and we’ll check it before we install it.
Will aftermarket parts affect my warranty?
It depends on the part and your manufacturer’s policy. We’ll talk through any warranty considerations with you before installation.
Do you set ride height after installing coilovers?
Yes. We set ride height to your preference and recommend an alignment afterward so the car drives and wears tires correctly.
Can you protect new carbon or body kit parts?
Yes. We can apply paint protection film or ceramic coating to new carbon and painted parts, often in the same visit.
What cars do you work on?
We install parts on Porsche, BMW M and other performance cars. Tell us your vehicle and the part, and we’ll confirm fitment before we start.
How do I get a quote?
Send us your vehicle, the parts you’re considering and your goals. We’ll reply with fitment notes and a clear install quote.
