hi Grant… IMS has wanted to 'Pimp ’ my ride… they are appalled by what my garage did to my car… as they take it apart… I really don’t know what they have up their sleeves for the build… know the car will be cool and done right… Bob ---

> they are appalled by what my garage did to my car Ok that makes sense, I take back what I said. I thought you the owner had done that wiring and they were calling you out on it. I thought wow that’s pretty rough here you are as a paying customer and they are putting you on blast LOL Ok so with that out of the way, are you going to get a complete paint job? ect ---

yes… Scotty Casbere the paint guru just posted a photo of my license plate saying ‘paint time’ and a big grin… wife Sherry and I went to the IMS photos and picked a color from a car they built a few years ago… we’ll see what they do with it… as for the wiring my mechanic and I thought we had it well wired… I had added a fan… heated seats… a bms…horn…backup camera and had it all fused into a fuse block…probably too much for the car… never ran everything at once… we don’t have a GEM dealer in the area… Colorado is not a GEM car mecca … my mechanic retired…feel IMS is probably the best GEM builder going… only a 500 mile ship… Bob ---

Can you break it down for others looking to get a Make over. 1 what did it cost you to ship your gem? 2 how much would it cost someone to get their gem pimped out like yours? ---

Well in the end the main thing thats important is that! You’re happy with what you have and what you spend. But I will agree with grant it’s cool when we all share what we do and what it takes. There’s always someone that would like to take a step forward but have no idea what sounds fair. But I really like it. Green machine.

Grant… the cost is really not that much… so says the guy on a fixed income with a loving wife… it really dug into my Tesla fund but who really wants a Tesla anyway… I assume the price differs with each job… check out the website… [www.InnovationMotorsports.com](http://www.InnovationMotorsports.com) or call/text Dustin MacIntosh direct 619-301-7232 Bob [Next page](https://community.electricforum.com/t/lil-sparky-gos-under-the-knife/6521.md?page=2)
