Here is the Minnesota statute for window tint...

(a) No person shall drive or operate any motor vehicle required to be registered in the state of Minnesota upon any street or highway under the following conditions:

(1) when the windshield is composed of, covered by, or treated with any material which has the effect of making the windshield more reflective or in any other way reducing light transmittance through the windshield;

(2) when any window on the vehicle is composed of, covered by, or treated with any material that has a highly reflective or mirrored appearance;

(3) when any side window or rear window is composed of or treated with any material so as to obstruct or substantially reduce the driver's clear view through the window or has a light transmittance of less than 50 percent plus or minus three percent in the visible light range or a luminous reflectance of more than 20 percent plus or minus three percent

janick- I'm good to meet up pretty much anytime this week, when is good for you?

 

I would meet up with you guys BUT I still have no bumper nor headlights

 

New toy in our garage.

 

What, no ZR-1? Junk.

 

Yea, sorry. Dad didn't want 120grand tied up in a depreciating asset. 436hp will have to suffice.

 

Weaksauce. Also, according to Chevy, it's just 430.

 

Upgraded Factory Exhaust

 

tell him to get one of these, would hate to see him drill that bumper

Janick that vette is sick.

Also, for everyone but Janick (Since I already told him)
I was at a friends house, peeked in his garage and saw
-C63 AMG (New)
-Ferarri California (New)
-Mercedes McLaren SLR (New)
-SL65 AMG (Maybe 2 years old, looks new)

And then they also had 2 or 3 mercedes SUV's, 2 AMG 1 non-AMG

It was like walking into a dream garage in every way imaginable

 

...and then I hope you asked, "which one can I drive?"

 

haha i would've but we were just leaving for chicago

 

Whatever, you got your priorities on wrong. That's a hell of a reason to delay a trip.

 

Would have gotten to Chicago faster in that SLR...

 

no shit, 15 person van+trailer FTL

 

I would have tossed that C63 in the trailer for a 5 seater cruiser to take around Chicago haha

I need my front bumper repainted. Any body shops that you guys recommend that would be pretty reasonable?

 

Hagens.

 

Fairway collision.

 

I have a Honda product in my driveway right now, and I'll admit, this things pretty nice as far as minivans go.


Paint was SO dirty though and there were scratches and scuffs on every panel of the car.

^that was after just one car door.

Clay Bar brought back some shine though.

 

Haha! You upgraded to a Honda minivan? That's priceless!

 

haha, hate to burst your bubble josh, but janick details cars

 

^what he said.

And it actually drove pretty nice. Handled well for a minivan and the power was good. Lots of techy toys on it too.

 

I live in Carver, have a black 2005 RL that needs detailing. What part of town are you in?

 

I am located in Eden Prairie. If thats something your interested in, shoot me a pm and we can discuss price+time+what you want done.

Just let me know man! Thanks!

 

Last night i did the cold cathode light for my license plate... only took me 2 and a half hours....

I didn't want to take the backing off but when i tried popping out the stock lights i noticed that the backing prevents it from coming out smoothly. I got everything unscrewed but couldn't get my license plate off because the screws are rusted in. So i WD-40'd the SHIT out of it and still couldn't get it loose. Since i already got the light in and everything was wired up i wasn't going to just give up so i pushed the lights out and they popped out and hit me right in the head. When i tried the lights they didnt work.

The whole time i was working on this i had the radio on. In the middle of checking the wires the radio went dead and it freaked me out. I thought i fucked something up. I checked the dash and all the lights were on but the NAV screen was blank. I tried starting the car.... Battery dead. I had to push my car out of the garage and into the parking lot then used my girls car to jump mine. Car started right away then i left it running and finished checking the lights. I found that the wire taps were not cutting through the wire shroud so i cut into then and peeled it away so they would make a connection. Tried the lights again and they came on.... YAY!!!!


Here is a shitty pic of it....

 

I knew you should have waited for me to come and help you! It took me half an hour to do this mod lol. How do you like it? Is it as ricey as you thought it'd be? Did you go with the reflective tape or none at all?

On another note, My ATLP base exhaust will here thursday!! I can't wait.

 

Damn, that sounds like an awful lot of work for a lightbulb. But, you could be Glow and have spent a G on new headlights.

 

1 G on headlights is nothing! You could be White Heat if you spent over 3 G's on headlights

 

It wouldnt have mattered if you were there or not, the fact that the bolts on the license plate were rusted in there and would not come out wouldn't have changed. Also the wire taps sucked so i had to cut through the shroud myself. Then My battery died after about an hour of running the radio... That tells me that i need a new battery, I have never had a dead battery after running my radio for an hour.

I used the reflective tape. The prep work for the lights was easy, only took me like 5min. I do like the way it looks though. It would be WAY more ricey if i used a red or green light... LOL

It wouldn't have taken me so long if i didn't have rusted bolts and a dead battery

I also took a break to have dinner... Fat hawaiians never say no to food!!!!

Well its a good thing i have children to take care of or i WOULD pay 3g's for headlights....LOL

 

He has really nice Zeiss projectors and stuff. I cant believe your headlights were 3k. There like, painted with some halos.


It takes me 5 minutes to pop my licence plate lights out and put LEDs in.

 

I paid 2.5k for my stratus headlights

 

well when you get money just for breathing... you can do shit like that... FAG!

 

2.5k on stratus headlights?!?!

how is that even possible??

 

A custom retro fit. They get spendy

 

got pics??

Wow, way to be a dick. You may not like what he has done, but you don't have to be a douche about it.

And dude, you are in college, learn how to use their, there, and they're properly.

 

I remember seeing you in Duluth. I really liked that Stratus. Clean car!

 

How is that being a dick? $3000 does seem a bit high for painted headlights with halos... maybe if he had some custom fit projectors with a retrofit... then I could see $3000 as I have seen how much that adds up.

And when did I say that I didn't like it? I told him on facebook that i think black looks better on a white car IMO but i never said i didn't like it. Looks better than stock by far.

Way to jump the gun there champ. Let me go take a spin in our crappy fails mobile of a base corvette. <--my weak attempt at a slam at your posts above.

 

There's more done to them than just paint and halos, dick
