Eibach Suspension Install
Hey guys,
I am buying the Eibach Pro-System-Plus Kit (Pro-Kit, Pro-Damper Kit & Anti-Roll Kit), Pro-Alignment Kit (rear adj arm -2. / +4. degrees of adjustment) and Pro-Alignment Kit (front +1.5 / +3 degrees of adjustment). Do you guys have any recommendations on where I should go to get these products installed? I would like to go to a reputable shop were they have a lot of experience in suspension work.
Thanks!

Don't feed the...WTF?
So I got my 09 TL loaner today. Nice and comfy, but it lacks the sportiness that the 3G has.
Apparently my car has an "internal failure" that they cannot find. Said it was going to take 2 weeks to repair the navi, and cost me roughly $450. I told them that they must have forgotten about the warranty I told them about when I dropped it off. They said they'd call me back.
Now they say I will have a new navi by tomorrow no charge. sweet.

Nope - got another 3 years / 32,xxx miles left on it. 
My AcuraCare card says 02/03/2011 or 100k miles. Still got plenty of time left on either of them. That's the benefit of buying a CPO vehcle. I bought it when it was just over a year old, but I get 60k more in warranty because it was "certified" (I guess certified is better than new or something... )

Talked to the body shop yesterday, looking at mid-end of next week to get the scoob back. It'll definitely be nice to get her back, the Altima is nice and all, but a scooby it is not.

My friends mom got pulled over in EP today. Was given a tint ticket for the windows on her 06 Avalon.
She had them applied at the DEALER and had 50% put on, but it registered at 45% so he cited her.
Wtf. Now legal tint is not even safe.
If i get pulled over and cited, im gonna be like "wtf do you want me to do? You give me a ticket, i put the legal shit on, then you pull me over again and give me another ticket because the LEGAL is too dark. They DONT make 60% tint, and im not driving aorund with see through windows and $1000 worth of stereo equipment just out visible. I want SOME privacy."

Also, you have to realize that just because you don't know the law, it does not excuse you from being held to it. Your best bet is to find out what the law is, then when you break it, you are doing so knowingly and can only be pissed at yourself.
If you want the law changed, write to your rep and your senator that you want it to be changed, get a bunch of other people to do the same. Signing some internet petition does abso-fucking-lutely NOTHING. Pick up the phone, write a letter, get off your ass and DO something.

^i have wrote a letter. Did not do anything. it takes quite a few people writing letters to get anywhere.
And apparently when you tell a shop or dealer ect, that you want LEGAL tint, you dont get LEGAL tint. You get legal tint+ what your windows read.
Your car should be allowed to have its stock tint+ 50%.
They dont make 55% tint so you are right at 50%. So that makes the law null and bullshit because anyone that tints their windows LEGALLY is still breaking the law.
Its a fucked up law that needs some looking over. And, i do know this law. its 50% on all windows except the windshield.
But there is no possible way to get it RIGHT at 50%.

This is why I say to put 20% on your car and then when you get pulled over, you already know you are going to get a ticket for it, and you get to enjoy the tint you want instead of some 50% that makes no difference.

You just get noticed more. 50% is completley see through though. Thats why i dont get 50%, and why they would care about 40 percent even. It is completley see through. There is no way to hide anything with it.
Checked the law again. its 50% +/- 3 percent.

Where did you find the +/- 3%? That's the first I have ever heard about that.
Usually, if you aren't being a jackass, they aren't going to light you up for tint unless they are really bored.

So, what did he light her up for? I doubt he saw her Avalon with 50% tint and said, "I bet that will measure out at 46%". I'll bet he stopped her for something and just got her for the tint as a 'bonus'. It's not uncommon for cops to pull over someone for one thing and write them for something else. You'd be amazed at how many killers, rapists, drug dealers, etc. are pulled over and busted for some stupid traffic infraction.
Think of it what you will, but legal is legal, and illegal is illegal. You posted yourself that she was outside the boundaries set forth in the law. You also indicated that you yourself and your buddy are all outside the law. We, as in you and I, pay him to enforce the laws of the state, if he has a hard-on for tint, then you had better not be illegal with him around. It is not in his job description to decide which laws he wants to enforce on any given day, that is what the courts are there for.
Basically, with the law the way it is, there is really no reason to have tint on your car. Factory windows have a UV filter on them, so any tint is essentially a waste of money if you want to be legal. I guess I don't understand why you are upset, it's like being all pissed off that you got stopped for going 75 in a 40, or 45 in a 40, either way, you know the law, and you broke it, deal with the consequences.
Understand, I do not like the law, but I know what it is, and I knowingly installed tint on my windows. I have gotten a ticket for it, but that's the price of doing business. I want the tint on my windows and I am willing to pay the price if someone decides to pull me over for it. I'm not going to get all pissed off because I got caught doing something that I knew was wrong. I'm just saying, you should look at why you are pissed off.

And i dont think you seem to get it. They had the tint installed at the dealer who told them it was legal. They just didnt count the factory tint (and there was 5% of it on the Avalon)
This cop needs some common sense instead of just being a nazi about everything. Law or not. Look at it this way. Do they make 45% tint? No.
BUT, this partoclar person wanted to abide by the law, so they put LEGAL tint on.
Its not like you or i who put darker tint on from the begining. They wanted the legal limit.
Why is that so difficult for this guy to understand?

Don't feed the...WTF?
I see where your coming from, but at the same time - dealership or not, there was some mis-information given about whether or not the tint would be legal. It would be like me telling you to go to your neighbors house and take his car for a drive around the block "cause he won't mind". Well - he called the cops. You can't really say "Glow said he didn't care" as much as you can't say "the dealer said it was legal"
Argument aside though, that cop's a dick! Doing his job rightfully so, but still a dick.

It would be like me telling you to go to your neighbors house and take his car for a drive around the block "cause he won't mind". Well - he called the cops. You can't really say "Glow said he didn't care" as much as you can't say "the dealer said it was legal"
Argument aside though, that cop's a dick! Doing his job rightfully so, but still a dick.
I see where your coming from, but at the same time - dealership or not, there was some mis-information given about whether or not the tint would be legal.

I also agree with you and Glow that the cop is being a dick. He has the opportunity to allow her to slide, or not, and he is deciding to not. Just like the cop that writes a speeding ticket for 42 in a 40. But, dickishness aside, he's still doing his job and enforcing the laws.

Would you guys be down in helping me install my Eibach Pro-System-Plus Kit, Pro-Alignment Kit and Excelerate Performance Custom Aluminum Radiator? How does a meet at Takata's sound again? Do some installs and go for a cruise like our previous meet...
That's only if Takata is cool with it!

so i went to the azine page.. saw this. first i noticed that 3 of the 5 pages were of guns, and then i noticed that 5 out of 5 were by the same guy.. that seems statistically impossible.. that one guy got 5 of the 5 albums at the top of the page?

Glow is dead on, it doesn't matter who did what, or what they told you, the fact of the matter is that it is NOT legal. There are lots of grey areas of the law, this is not one of them.
