First official Pic of my car

^^^why do you find that funny? (dunno)
I chuckled at Motegi's response to protejay, it's pretty obvious that she was playing off his spelling mistake. Compare the two posts.

Posted by protejay5: wait, you tinted the windshield?!? i hope not, that is teh dangerous (no)
Posted by MotegiMazdA: teh dangerous and teh illegal ;)

um... "teh" is standard internet lingo for "the". Im pretty sure they both MEANT to say "teh" ;)
 
thanks, I swapped the sidemarkers a few weeks ago with an MP3, cuz I decided I wanted to match orange-orange instead of clear-clear.

The emblem was cake and I like it too, theres a pic of just that in my avatar.
How bout the headlights? Its kinda hard to tell in that pic because there is so much sunlight directed on them but they are gunmetal.
 
Nice to see teh car coming along. Looks sweet already.

Even though you have all different darknesses on your tint, does it look alright in real life? Like looking at the 5% and 20% beside eachother?
 
yes, the different tinting blends perfectly together...Because the side glass on the hatch is kind of separate from the door glass, being near opaque(you cant see s*** through it) kinda makes the car appear smaller by cutting off the hatch from sight...You have to see it to understand. But you are kind of more attracted to the lighter tint that you can somewhat see through...get it?

btw, Im going out now to put my springs on, they just came, so I'll have a new pic tonight i i get done before dark :D
 
Paaaaaaaartay at Pro-V's house!!! :p Awesome pic man!

::edit:: Where did you get the tint done? It looks really good and I'm seriously jonesing for some tint right now. Also, for everyone else who's interested his gunmetal headlight housing looks sick. Really good job, sets off the car beautifully! :D

thanks for teh props on the house, tint and headlights...

oh you're jonesing for tint? (laugh) I think thats funny cuz Jones is my last name, hehe.

I got it done at D&L on Rt.40 in White Marsh. They are arguably the BEST around.

Here's a new pic. Got my front spring on...I kinda like that raked look (evil)
It also shows the headlights much better.

wait till it settles
it will even look better!!!!


it is tight though, as it is
what are they again?
 
looking sweet man!! but you're crazy for getting the windshield done!!

and of course your house (castle) is okay in my book, but tell your parents to get that driveway paved because i left half of my lip on it last time i was over.. hahaha.

teh driveway dip owns :(
 
haha, yeah the end of the driveway is a killer.

I finished the rears and pulled out of the driveway, at the highest angle I could get and parked the car, got out...and saw i had about 1" of clearance...uh yeah, a lip is gonna kill me.

Yeah, I know the tinting is out of control, haha(laugh)
Cant wait to get my exhaust now, should be here next week.

The springs are goldlines...I made anew post about my install in the suspension section.

LOL! That's hilarious! (rofl) So D&L is good eh? I keep seeing/hearing commercials but a business can say they're good until they're blue in the face - it's what the customers say that really matters. So they're top notch, eh? I'll have to check them out again. Thanks! :D
 
reasonable for the good job that they do....mine was $180...yours would prolly be more cause you have more windows and such...I'm sure you could find cheaper some where else, but everyone swears by D&L...

*edit*...mine was $180...what was I thinking....good catch ray...

what all did you get done John?

here are the rates I can remember.

4door - $180
Wagon - $210
20% tint - $25extra
5% - $50 extra
Windshield - $150(you can prolly get them to come down on that though)
visor strip - $25(they have a coupon for a free one on their old website)

it is pricey but they do an EXCELLENT job, and they usually get the car done in under an hour. Mine took 50minutes and thats including getting the whole windshield plus the sunroof done. They put a guy on practically every window.
Plus there's a lifetime warranty, which, as long as you dont have a subaru or car with frameless windows they will honor forever.
