Put me down for tint.

I never use my A/C so I just figured why not shed some weight. If the woman wants A/C we can use her car.

Alex, you got the award for the 5000 reply/post in this thread.

Damn! Those rotors and pads are adding up! I thought it was supposed to be $190 for the set.

Reasoning in practice has shown me, factory sucks and lasts mere months, my jobs pasting and removing have been time consuming, yet the professional jobs have lasted well into the next vehicle owner's life..there is places online for precuts btw

Let me know what you guys are thinking is a "good deal". I can't remember exactly what I paid on my Z, but it was under 200 bucks.

and tinting windows isn't impossible, but should be left to professionals/experienced people. Otherwise, you get ring around the windows along with bubbles and other imperfections

Just looking through the forum here is bad tint:




Look at the small rear window on both pics:

I was thinking $150 for tint if we get at least 5 guys.

Dang, that airstrip looks like fun. That's a lot of money, though. I'll see.... might have to stop eating for a while.

If we're lucky, this weather will continue for the next couple of weeks. That would be a huge break. I still won't bring out the Z because I like my garage space and keeping all 3 cars inside is nice.

I'll keep that number in mind. I'll see what I can work out. The guy works out of white bear lake just off of highway 61

Thanks for doing that, Aaron. Appreciate it. I know you have nothing else to do...

What do you need rims for again? For the track? Those Touring ones are heavy.

Soooo.... Greg and I want to go to the auto show this weekend. I prefer Saturday. Anybody else interested? I'm thinking that the booths might give away cool stuff that they don't want to pack or clean up by the end of the show.

I was just going to mention that. Not sure if the wheels themselves were staggered on the touring, but they were on the enthusiast models

i'd be down too...however, I have existing tint that needs to be removed first. So, that might cost a little more.

Is this Tint person someone who does it out of their house (ie...just does it everyone once and a while for people?
