His shop isn't crazy nice or anything, but he does mostly commercial work these days. He'll still tint a car for referred folks. He's definitely worked on a plethora of cars, and used to be a fellow s2000 owner. His was mostly stock, but I've never seen one cleaner. Ever. I'd take my Lambo to him if I had one and have no reservations about it.

^ Wait, the new one? The new place is great. Easy in/out, on a main road.. and the lot is nice.

Not sure where you're hearing that but I like the new place better than the NC Music Factory...

Someone told me it was too small and if you don't get there at 8am or before you can't get a spot. If that isn't true then maybe I will try and make October.

The lot is just smaller, not small though.

The parking bit is true though...just get up 20 mins earlier =P

Definitely smaller but not small. And yeah, just get up 20 min earlier. Plus, there are spots in the back if the lot is full. You may not be able to "show" your car, but there are other spots.

Good morning everyone, I am relatively new to this forum and I heard that this thread is the place to be if you live in NC. I am stationed in Jacksonville. Would love to see if there is a community out on the coast. Have a great day all!

Thanks! Looks like I'll have to leave around 6:30 to get a parking spot. Will be there 9/04 if they have it that weekend.

Should be that Saturday... 9/3. And if the past is any indication, holiday weekends usually bring out a great crowd.

If you want to be in Charlotte proper, the south end is great -- any area around Ballantyne on up to Barclay Downs, Myers Park, etc... it's nice, but can be expensive. If you like a little more land/space, Indian Trail and Monroe is east of town, but there can be a lot of traffic all day, every day up and down Independence Blvd. North of Charlotte in Moorseville is nice, and all the towns in between like Huntersville & Davidson are solid spots as well.

My personal favorite though is actually technically in SC, Fort Mill. It's growing like crazy, a lot of newer home construction, and you get lower prices + tax benefits for living in SC. You can get to a LOT of spots in Charlotte within 30 mins, and can be on the north side of town in just over a half hour as long as it's not rush hour. The schools are extremely sought after in Fort Mill as well if that matters to you...

Good luck!

Thank you sir, I'm gonna be working in Salisbury, but i don't wanna live there lol and i don't mind a commute. Hows the north side of Charlotte, I'll most likely just be looking for an apartment around there i think.

North CLT is pretty decent. You'll find a LOT of apartments in the University area, and that's not too bad of a drive to Salisbury. For me personally I'd not go much further north than Concord Mills mall...but that's just my preference.

Hey guys!! Hope everyone's doing well! been exploring the idea of selling the 4runner and getting back into a TL lol. Its been a great year with the 4runner but I might be getting a new job soon and I need something little more professional looking so Ive been thinking about getting a TL to DD and getting a 1st gen 4runner to stay on the trails and have some fun off road. Here's some pics of the 4runner as she sits now. A lot has changed since I last posted any pics on here I think.

Haha thank you ! It's a lot of fun but its only 2wd so I can only do so much with it. That's why i'm thinking of selling it so I can have even more fun and no have to worry about banging up a nice car lol
