Calling all Chicagoland RL Drivers

I am a new RL owner and I wanted to see how many Chicagoland drivers are out there. I know the East Coast is well represented..I want to see what the Windy City has to offer..

has anyone heard anything about the tint shop Umbra in Schaumburg? I am itching to get my tint dine as my first add on, but want to find a quality shop.

Can a former Chicagoan weigh in? Born and raised.

Took a job in SE Michigan in August 2007. Lived in the Libertyville/Mundelein area up until my move.


I see an occasional RL around here, but nothing like I did back home.

Well...only reason there are meets on the east coast is cause people get together. No meets doesn't mean there aren't any RL's in your area...just gotta organize.

For NY the meet superstar is...none other than Blazing GT...drum roll please.

True! We need to step up Chicago. I recently purchased my RL so I am stock currently. Thanx to this site however, I have been inspired to mod. Thank you RL Brethren. I hope to be looking a little more presentable by summer. Lets get it going.

When I lived in the northern 'burbs I got my windows tinted by a guy whose company name is Tintworks. Came right to my house and did it in my garage. He did a great job.
