Inspector-LOL at the front door

Did you use a snowblower on the driveway? I just finished shoveling mine, flipping tired now

lounge lizard · 02-02-2011, 07:22 PM

looks like you needed to use the snow blower right from the door to get to the driveway!

NICE!

Inspector13 · 02-03-2011, 12:33 PM

I shoveled the sidewalk and around both cars. Luckily my dad came over with a snow blower as I don't have one and did the driveway. The neighbors were taking bets on how long it would take me to shovel all of it. They were guessing around between 4 and 6.5 hours. The driveway is 70 feet long one car wide for 50 feet then two cars wide the last 20 feet. I guess now they'll never know.

Did my headlights today. Turned out pretty good. I tried to do my corners but apparently the lens is a different composite and the lens softened and deformed. So do not put your corners in the oven!! Since one is messed up I ordered some black corners today. So hopefully in a week I will have matching corners!!

Just had my windows tinted and painted the nasty looking roof rack to match the trim.

jmm welcome to EF and your x looks great ... did you tint the front to match back ... what percentage did you go?

*lynchy wa* · 02-04-2011, 04:39 AM

Your X looks clean as mate, tint looks great at that shade.

nygbrad · 02-04-2011, 09:19 AM

Thanks guys!! Can't wait to get my corners next week!!

Jmmarosz · 02-04-2011, 10:23 AM

I ended up just tinting the front two windows to match the back. So I just went with 20%.

I asked for the same thing on mine, and when i got pulled over in december for my tints(and got a ticket) he scaned the windows with the tool they have an the back windows were something like 15-17% and the front ones were 12%, so my front windows let in 12% sunlight and backs 15-17%. I told him i bought the truck like that hoping he wouldn't give me a ticket and he did anyway, I didnt buy the truck like that but i thought it would work.

That's terrible news! I heard they were a little less hardcore about giving tickets down here. One of my friends has 5% on his Honda and my other friend has 10% on his BMW and they both haven't had any problems yet. Knock on wood!

I think it was also the fact that I was driving past the firehouse where they sit and it was 1:00am and i was the only car on the road.Well knock on wood its the first time ive gotten pulled over in this truck i used to have a 92 honda with tints and ricer exhaust and got pulled over everyday.

Where did you get yours tinted at I am looking to get my fronts tinted also.

How much was the ticket because thats the only thing I am worried about, I get enough of those red light camera tickets as it is.

Any place that does tints dont pay more than $60. i believe audio planet as well in huntington does them to. i payed $60 for mine to so called match the back and was out in 30 min. The ticket i believe was $90
