how much $$texas did they charge you?

1/10/2006 12:23:15 AM

my car? $200. but count em that bitch has 9 windows to put tint on, and I had the moonroof glass darkened also.

1/10/2006 12:25:34 AM

I got mine done by Pete, 20% on mine too. I had to get an inspection last week and had no issues, you just need to know how to talk to people.

1/10/2006 12:30:02 AM

and keep a folded up $10 in your pocket as a backup plan.

1/10/2006 12:36:57 AM

or a 9mm

1/10/2006 12:39:42 AM

nigga please, i get my sketchy inspections for free

1/10/2006 12:47:42 AM

yeah well you probably suck off the guy too. ill stick to the smooth talker method, i havent had to pull out the bribe money yet.

1/10/2006 12:57:27 AM

man i like 20%.

how is it at night?

1/10/2006 2:13:51 PM

nightime is great, much better than I though it would be since it looks so dark during the day. my only gripe is the very slight refraction where the film goes over the rear defroster grid. its definitely a minor issue.

1/10/2006 9:04:56 PM

212hp at the wheels today, not bad for 170k miles huh

1/14/2006 10:08:51 PM

so since the LUGNUTS WERENT PROPERLY INSTALLED when I got my balance/rotation 5 months ago, and im tired of cleaning brake dust off of wheels with less than perfect finish, im getting new wheels. and dust shields.

and looking at tires

mine does that too. i doesn't do it if they take their time and cut the tint into strips as to avoid the thr defroster strips. when done and the curve of the window accounted for, it's clean.

i thought they reduced cooling?

3/12/2006 8:38:40 PM

I think black rims with a polished lip would look good, with as much as is black on the car already...

3/12/2006 8:51:54 PM

Have your wheels painted black with the polished lip. Than would be nice. Saw ya killin the bonnie this morning on Departure Dr. Sounded good for a 9am fly by

3/12/2006 9:58:00 PM

did you ever get that low coolant light fixed? i worked on a '00 today with the same problem that ended up being the harness going to the level sensor rubbing on the frame near the ac line.

3/13/2006 12:52:32 PM

yeah I broke one of the retaining tabs when i pulled it out of the radiator to clean the gunk of off it (i think its some kind of optical sensor) and decided to replace it. the part was 50 or 60 bucks and it hasnt come on since.


dave yeah man that was me. i was coming from the carwash over there by the RR tracks on millbrook trying to get the water off. of course later in the day at the gas station i left my drink cup on the roof and drove off and now the car is dirty again. you should have come down to the shop man its on departure just before it ends at oak forest.

3/13/2006 5:51:40 PM

I was looking for it a few days ago but didnt see a sign. Matt told me how to get there Ill try and get by this week.

3/13/2006 6:18:25 PM

yeha we dont have a sign by the road, we are in a business/industrial building with a few other businesses.

3/13/2006 7:11:29 PM

3/13/2006 7:15:52 PM

^Okay, the wheels on that thing look nice, but WTF is that guy thinking with the eyebrows, stickers, and mudflaps??

3/16/2006 10:05:49 PM

thats one of the kids with all the neons. a real loser.

3/24/2006 11:10:03 AM

3/28/2006 10:59:44 PM

the black wheels on the white bonneville would look nicer if they didn't have so much freaking tire on them

3/28/2006 11:01:20 PM

imho, they'd look better all black..

[Edited on March 28, 2006 at 11:03 PM. Reason : and wtf is that eyelid looking bullshit?]

3/28/2006 11:03:04 PM

the white one is a peice of shit

3/28/2006 11:10:38 PM

OK

finally got my fuel filter on, although upon inspection the old one does not appear dirty at all. oh well

did my transmission serivce, BG style. old shit came out FILTHY. will replace filter when I determine if there are any leaks in the transmission cooler lines.

also, the wheel/tire saga is almost over. just need an peace of mind alignment and some new centercaps.

all 4 NEW wheels shipped from transwheel: $200
return shipment of defect (paint) wheels: $50
refund from transwheel: $200 (recieved another new set)
all 4 new tires shipped from paulie's tire: $610 (normally $800+)
all 4 brake dust shields from some random ebay guy: $26 (everywhere else these are $20/pair)
mounting and static balancing (sat. night at 8:30pm): $23 (normally $36+)
bolting them on myself, not putting a scratch on them, and not LEAVING THE LUGNUTS LOOSE: freebie. and priceless too.

total project thus far: $709
Not too bad for all new shit and fancy tyres. Add maybe $60 for new centercaps and $50 for alignment and thats about $820. These tires alone retail for that much.





so how accurate was my photochop?

4/9/2006 2:41:25 AM

wait for it...

4/9/2006 2:45:04 AM

photobucket is slow




next up will be
alignment
new centercaps
get tint problem fixed
clean oil level sensor, change oil (im over 3k on my mobil 1 oh no)
compressor seal, charge AC
front pads/rotors
O2 sensors


then who knows. maybe new struts. wonder how much getting the leather redone will be. only the fronts really need it. still needs some dings fixed and a good clear coat polish. or hell just a paint job. im thinking redo the black base and then spray candy blue over that so it would be real hard to see until the sun comes out.
