I wish I could. Insomnia's a b1tch.

I need rear tires, but I'm not sure if I want used tires, though. Are they priced well?

They bargain, you can get them anywhere from 25$-30$ a tire, depending how good you are at bargaining. You can find good tires too just gotta look. I been real lazy to look but lately I got the urge to really put my wheels on.

I'm going today as soon as they open not sure when they open. I'm calling all of em first to see if they have some of the sizes I'm looking for, what size you looking for? If we meet up we can bargain them buying more tires at a cheaper price. I'll send you msg on aim.

How long should it take for someone to tint the windows on a 350z? I was quoted for about 4 hours and that seems like too long.

I would call and get a quote from this tint place..

https://my350z.com/forum/6530722-post89.html

look around - im sure 4 hrs is of the norm (standard), especially if they have to take off the current tint..

Thanks, I sent him an e-mail. I thought I remember it only took about 2 hours when I had my last car but that was about 5 years ago.

any luck on finding tires??

I know 19's will be hard to find...........I have never searched for 19's because i don't have any wheels that size, but I have been very successful at finding 17's and 18's for drifting all day long..............

Sighting, two black 350z's, one with a pink license plate and a bright orange one in plano off of ave K and legacy. Possibly going to new concepts.

Anybody know these three, I work right next door and was leaving for lunch when they drove by.

Damn, Mackie = the **** (in a good way).

If you're being serious, I may really take you up on that offer.

Jeremy is going to tint my windows on Dec. 20th. I will post pics when done. I am going to get 20% all around.

I am sure that I won't be disappointed.

I called National Tires & Battery to get a quote on tune-up. They charge a little over $400 for mostly fluid flushing. Does that sound reasonable to you guys? If not, anywhere else you guys might recommend for general tune-up?
My Z is is getting close to hit the 50k miles on it (over 46k now)
