Wassup peeps?

My friend is going to Florida in Feb & is staying in Bradenton on the West coast. I'm thinking of giving him some £££ so he can get me some ICE for my car.

I'm looking at JL or Phoenix Gold sups & Amps.

Does anyone know of a ICE retailer/shop in that knid of area where he can go to get these for me?

Thanks for your help in advance peeps,


Rich

.. You mean a stereo shop? Just have him order the stuff online if he can't find anything locally. Hell, why haven't you tried to order them online?

So I don't have to pay the shipping costs from the US to UK & also so I don't have to pay UK customs duty & VAT.

I thought that would have been obvious?

Usually airline companies will charge you extra to carry more than 1 suitecase, and I'm sure he's got stuff to bring onto the flight as well- like clothes. He's going to have to pay a fee for the poundage and a fee for the size- not to mention he has to find some way to box them up or else he'll get taxed anyway.

try not to be naive when it comes to this stuff; make sure you think of every possible problem and angle when doing something that involves crossing borders- because if you screw up it'll be him that pays for it, and he won't be too happy with you.

He gets there. He walks 3 blocks in any direction, and finds a stereo shop. Worst comes to worse, circuit city sells JL even..

umm... considering pimp my rides is in the Greater L.A. Area in California, which last time I checked is on the west coast >> I think your statement seems to be a bit false.

I watch pimp my rides pretty often and have never heard the term "ICE", like someone said above thats usually used to reffer to diamonds.
