Wisc Badger

For sure. I have already talked to multiple people in the service dept about it. There is a guy named Greg in service that is good people. Set up an appt with him one day and have a chat. I'm sure he remembers me by my car cause he always throws me a few compliments. Just tell him the guy with the silver TSX with the body kit sent you.

Yes. The person that you want to talk to is Chip, he is the mgr of the parts dept. Just tell him Andre from the Acura forum sent you and he should give you a pretty decent deal. These guys actually matched a previous online deal months ago on the 04/05 body kits for $850 out the door. You can find those deals online all day long, but that is unheard of at a new car dealer.

goon54

JayRoam

JayRoam

Man, I waited around a while til Muller's got in four 6mt's in PWP and Brian called me about it because he was workin there. 2 were non-navi and 2 were navi. I'm regretting the non-navi now.

A Cake On

Sounds good to me! I wouldn't mind doing it in the same spot, nice open area and no hassle from the Polices.

I might have to start another thread about this

inkedup

Yeah, the skate park was a great meet location IMO.

GenXY2k

i am up for the chicago meet !!

Jimmyzz

Crest Hill area here. Let me know when your going to meet.

Toothman

i asked this once already in this thread but didn't get much reply.

To those of you have tinted your car....Where did you go to get it done? Would you recommend them? What percents did you get? How much was it? If you tinted your fronts have you had any problems with tickets because of it

Jimmyzz

I went to Midwest Glass tinters in Oak Lawn. Back was in dark.And the rear sides were medium tint.. Charge was $175.00 lifetime warranty.They do good work and have been around since the 80's. Theve done all of my cars. Hope that helps.

Jeff_Chicago

All of mine also. I used to go to the one in Arlington Heights until they moved or closed.

goon54

JayRoam

^yeah, long time man. If they do another Chicago meet, maybe we'll see each other again. I still hang out with the guys, but don't do shows anymore. Technically the crew is still together, but the only guys that show are JayJay, Pepe and Will

Jeff_Chicago

swift22

ben

goon54

hopefully see ya around dude.
oh, one quick question, any good place to buy rims around here?

Jeff_Chicago

Drivers Image! (847)568-5555

goon54

err.. i really dont know that guy.. i know of him. greg, right?
i've only gotten wheels from that store near chinatown on archer.
but only cuz a friend knew this dude their named joey..
man, that was like 6 years ago. gots a set of ssr shumacher.
any good websites online?

Jeff_Chicago

Gregg is one of my best friends and I wouldnt steer you wrong. If u need me to go there with you to get a better deal, I will. He will beat any internet price that is out there within reason and at that you're helping out a guy that was one of the first shops besides Car Boutique that was around back 10-12 years ago.

JayRoam

He sold the M3 and now he's got a Carrera4

goon54

^^^^freakin baller...
should've kept the eclipse and build that back up

Hey Jeff, if i figure what wheels im finna keep can i use ur name as reference?

JayRoam

Yeah, I actually went with Will to get my wheels from Joey. It's still called Top Speed there

goon54

^ how much did u pay for urs?
im thinking of the enkei 5zigen Fn01r-c

Jeff_Chicago

Just talk to him and say that Jeff whom u used to sponsor said to talk to you. He'll hook u up!

Jeff_Chicago

ahhah, Is he still dj'ing????

JayRoam

Yup. Usually at Buzz, Zentra and a couple of other places




Man , you know the eclipse burned, right? right next to my car. was some freak electrical short or something. That thing was a goner. and jinxed. He shoulda gotten rid of it a loooong time before it actually burned.

flyinfry

Jeff_Chicago did the yellow civic used to be owned by some one in Plainfield/Joliet that worked at Giordano's? If so I used to see that car all the time. I also think I talked to the ower when I was picking up a pizza one time.

Jimmyzz

Flyinfry I remember that car. Haven't seen it in awhile.Are u from Joliet area to?

Jeff_Chicago

No, i was the OG owner since day one. There were a few copy-cat civics out there that resembled mine, but def wasnt the same. I sold the car in 2000 to a guy in Minnesota and he in turn sold it 2 years later to someone in Kentucky.

flyinfry

Jeff_Chicago that car looked just like yours. If I remember he told me his stuff to came from Drivers Image. Jimmyzz I do live in Plainfield/ Joliet area have lived here my whole life. I had a 2006 CGP with tinted windows until the dealership wrecked my car. Now I have a 2007 CGP TSX. Need to get the windows tinted on this one soon. Before this car I had a Milano Red 2000 SI that had tinted windows and was lowered.

Jimmyzz

I live in Crest Hill. Just bought a 07 TSX. Already did wheels and window tint. We need to get a few tsx's together and head up to Starbucks?Dominicks parking lot on Weber Rd. I don't remember what week day but its full of Subie WRX's and some other imports.

flyinfry

Jimmyzz where did you end up getting your windows tinted? I plan to get mine done in a month or two. What wheels did you get for your car? Might have to check out Dominicks some night I'm free.

Jimmyzz

I had windows done at Midwest Auto tinters in Oak Lawn. The guy has been around since early 80's. He's done all my rides. Plus he gives a lifetime warranty too. He charged $175.00 for back doors and rear window. Whatever shade you pick. I went with the Vo"xx 17" wheels. They have like a BBS center in black with polished lip.. I like them, plus helps set the car off. I would post pics but haven't figurged out how to do them on here yet.

Wisc Badger

anyone who drives up into the Kenosha/Racine area on 294/94. They now have a guy on an overpass with a radar who dispatches a line of waiting cops on the entrance ramp... I got clocked doing 80 in the left lane and the ticket was $270! Cop said no warnings, only tickets.

BEWARE!!!

anyone know a good lawyer (also cheap) who can practice in WI???
