I don't like it personally, and couldn't fathom spending $18k to make it look like it does, unless that included the cost of the car too.

I didn't see this car at the Spring Showdown..............

I must have missed it because I spent more time looking at the very few decent cars and bikes there.. They had some terrible judging, so first place at the Roanoke Spring Showdown doesn't mean much. They awarded first place to a stock Hayabusa over a friends bike that is modded top to bottom, clean as hell, fat tire and everything.

So, yeah.

Cross posting from the other thread (since this seems to be the new hangout

So, I was wondering to myself - "Self, why do these guys brag about winning a window tinting championship ten years ago?" So I went to Google, searched for "East Coast Tint Championships." Didn't find any sort of website for the event but I did find this:

soo, i just got my dcab back from the tint shop. i chose this local place called "advanced window tint" but their shop is really a cheesy car tuning shop (chrome wheels, stereos, NOS, intakes, exhausts, honda civics parked outside, etc) called R.P.M.

i went with them because theyre advertised as VAs #1 tint shop in 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 00, 01, 02, 03, and 04 and won 1st place in 98 at the east coast tint championship. they guarantee satisfaction and preach about seamless windows by master installers.

anyway, i tinted my GTI twice, both times were between $170-200 for illegal (VA laws are 50% front, 35% rear). for my taco i got 35% all the way around and it was...$275!!

i guess its my fault cause i didnt even ask about the price when i dropped off the truck. i just naturally assumed theyd be around $200 or so...i mean, its 5 FLAT windows...no curves, no defrosters, no splicing. anyway, i suck for not asking.

i was thinking of having them do my stereo but i feel like i was overcharged and that doesnt make me want to come back.

Really, it's like the Chicago Bulls reminding you ever time they do a press release - "1997-98 NBA CHAMPIONS." Now they're missing the playoffs.

Now that i can see the pictures the body kit looks like cardboard glued to the sides of the car. Wheels look like ass, way too much ice, yep looks just like a pimp my ride pos just with less shit on it.
