Built for the jobs that donโ€™t fit a kit

Black Vortex Racing delivers custom aftermarket mechanical work, fabrication, and specialty installsโ€”done with detail-focused workmanship and straight answers.

Our story

Custom work, start to finish

Black Vortex Racing was built for owners who care about how a job is doneโ€”not just that itโ€™s done. We take on aftermarket installs and fabrication work that require planning, clean execution, and the willingness to do it right the first time.

From suspension and brakes to cooling, exhaust-related installs, and custom brackets or piping, we focus on dependable results, tidy fitment, and communication you can trust. Weโ€™re by appointment only so every project gets the time it deserves.

How we work

Precision over shortcuts

We treat every build like itโ€™s our ownโ€”measure twice, mock up, verify clearances, and keep the install serviceable. If something isnโ€™t right, we stop and fix it instead of hiding it.

Why it matters

A shop built on trust

Custom work is rarely โ€œbolt-on.โ€ It takes planning, patience, and a willingness to solve problems the right way.


Weโ€™re here for the owners who want a clean install, reliable performance, and a builder who will explain whatโ€™s happeningโ€”before, during, and after the job. If we see a better approach, weโ€™ll tell you. If a part choice doesnโ€™t make sense for your goals, weโ€™ll say so.

Our goal is simple: deliver work youโ€™re proud to show, and results you can rely on.

Whether youโ€™re refining a street car, building a track-focused setup, or solving a stubborn issue, weโ€™ll help you get it done with craftsmanship and clarity.
