Twin Cities Acuras
Hey guys. First post here. I just bought my 2008 TL and it's pretty well stock at the moment. First thing I'm looking to do is tints. What % did most of you go with? I know the 'legal' tint in MN is 50% but that's ridiculous. I was thinking of going with 35% - do the shops care if you ask for this? I was going to get a quote from Sun Control in Eden Prairie for ceramic. Also anyone here gotten any tickets for 35%? I would think the cops would only care if it's like 20% or less.

My CL has 20% all around plus 5% on my sunroof and eyebrow. My Jeep has 20% all around. I have been ridin' dirrrty for over two years and lucky have not been hassled by the local authorities for my tint :knockonwood: The shops I had install my tint gave me no hassles.

As far as where to get it tinted, I highly recommend my boy Tien at Tint Pros Mobile. He does GREAT work, and is very reasonably priced, you'll save quite a bit going with him over Sun Control in EP. I've got his number if you'd like it.
They don't have a problem asking for 35%, they know the tint law here in MN is ridiculous. If I remember correctly, you sign something stating that you understand the tint laws for the state and they aren't liable for any violations you might get due to the tint you requested.
hey twin cities acuras. im in n.w. WI, and i have a 2010 tl. i sold my 2005 back in august.
got my 4g at acura of seattle, had it shipped to me- took like 4 days to get it, had it for 6 weeks and love it.
there were no 6mt tl's in the twin cities, or in the midwest! thats why i bought from seattle.
im actually getting tint from mobile tinting in forest lake today. cant wait to finally do my first mod!

As for % question... my last car I had 17% tint as read by the 8 cops who pulled me over for it (military duty seemed to override the tickets). Personally, I would stay away from 20%. My TL now has 35% and it's not too dark that it makes a cop suspicious.
my 2010 tl sh awd is an amazing car! 6 mt, 305 hp, the handling is unreal.
i have the 18 wheels. i have pics in my garage. ill have to post new ones, i just got 35% tints all around.
Nope, I haven't hand waxed my car in a while. Too much work for me.
What's wrong with the extra work?? It's what I am doing on my Veteran's Day. The reward from the shine after all the effort is worth it. Plus, with cool temperatures there are no bugs that destroy your efforts within a few miles!

On a side note, I get to pick up my new iPhone 4S today! I'm "upgrading" from an iPhone 4, but figured I'm eligible so I should upgrade.. and I can sell my iPhone 4 for the same price as I'm buying my new one for, so why not right??
I've heard good things with the iPhone 4s for our cars. Sirus or whatever it's called is pretty compatible with our HFL, so you'll hear her through the cars sound system as far as reading texts and replying and what not.

Siri is AWESOME. I've asked her some funny shit and she has responded to everything. I've asked her where I can hide dead bodies and she gave me options as to if i wanted to hide them in sewers, swamps, etc.. We've had some fun with it at work today haha

I saw those yesterday. I need to find $600 somewhere! Someone buy my damn exhaust lol.
Hey Joe, if you come around a decent set of 07-08 typeS wheels let me know. I'll turn my current wheels into dedicated winter wheels.

Still alive!
I feel kind of bad. I love the G, but I'm just not into it like I was the TL. Seems that I'm broke, cars got hella miles on it (so no modding for now) and the paint on it is just wrecked. The person before me didn't take care of it, so I've got bugs in the clearcoat. I washed it by hand a couple of times, but even then it doesn't really turn out well since you can see everything on the black.
Although its a lot less work and stress just to have a DD that you can run through the carwash, and park anywhere you want. I still watch for door dings, but that's about it.

Really guys unless you are going to put your car on a race track on a weekly basis you are wasting your money unless you are getting it cheaper than the Acura fluid. Ask Joe. this is the same for the racing brake fluid.
Yes tonight I am the POST WHORE.
I think I am all caught up with everyone.
If i miss someone let me know. Hey Jake nice day to wash the cars by hand one last time. Come over help me with LEAVE MANAGEMENT
and we can wash the cars and maybe grill.

Can't today bud, hopefully we get a few more nice days before snow hits??
Whew! my brother helped me install my new Ingalls engineering front sway bar links last night, and those annoying clicking/clunking noise when going over bumps in the front is gone
. Can't wait till I get the progress RSB and install in the Ingalls engineering rear sway bar link as well.
I will be bringing my stuff in the basement.
Do a little interior here and there during the winter. Have to use a torpedo heater in the garage to do this.
Soon the Beast goes in for the winter. I miss him during those moths.
On the poitive side clean and ready for spring. Save alot of $ on Insurance.

Now that I know you have a heated GARAGE do they have a wash stall like Josh had in his loft.
