You'll notice a nice difference. It'll look good in there too

Art, it's 35%. The dark interior and small cabin make it look darker than it is.

I wanna get one of the S2000 shift knobs, they are also in the RSX type S cars if I am not mistaken. I have an STI knob now but its a lil light and feels funny at times. How much did you pay for it? You can IM me on AIM or PM me if you want.

Now this is me being just curious.

How could you support a shop by wearing their t-shirts, constantly visiting their shops, promoting their business and then tint your car somewhere else?

EDIT: Please do not respond in anger, it's just a question. I don't want you threatening to beat me up and what not. :sad:

poisonivory · 05-08-2009, 04:33 PM

^^good question D...but he did say this was a friend's shop i believe. Plus they said if he did a good job, he didnt have to pay. So free > supporting someone else..lol

It was just a friendly challenge. I said that tinting was easy, he challenged me to do it and I accepted...I really didn't pay anyone for labor as I did most of it myself (he showed me how on one window and guided me on the way). I did the work, learned new stuff on the way, and my car has tint...it's not like I'm telling people not to go to SOG and to my guy instead.

I paid $30. It's used but in overall good shape, my hand won't mind the few small scratches.

OutToWinPAHC · 05-08-2009, 05:16 PM

Tint looks good. I want to get mine did soon...... but very light

**Got Insulin?** · 05-08-2009, 05:19 PM

Yea over the weeks I've seen him do some retarded rear windows. I had a hard time shrinking the tint for my rear and that was nothing compared to what I've seen him do. He said good things about you guys as well.
