I have it on the list to ask (I'm not going to bug him 5 times a day whenever someone asks a new question ) Ill buzz him Friday and post up all the answers. Cheers, Penny

Last payments by 1 June 2010 UPDATE 1. Ontheranch: 35% - PAID 2. Hotwire: 2 front, 20% - Payment pending 3. Normsta: Payment expected 27 May 4. Skylineguy19: 20% Silvia 5. Skylineguy19: 20% Falcon 6. Krishy: 35% 7. Cronic: 35% and tint removal- Payment expected 1 June 8. ImportS13: vr4 20% 9. 10.

The normal price of tinting is in excess of $300 (I was quoted $345 from another supplier, this was thier 'Special') The $165 is all windows besides the windscreen (sedan or coupe). Wagons are $195. About the left over bits of tint, im sure they could do it but depending on how hard it is to get off, you may incur a higher removal fee. Considering you have conserns with the driver side and passenger window marks and your current tint, you may be better off swinging past Auto Perfection with the car to show them so they can tell you straight out. Cheers, Penny

MORE INFO...... Legal: From Feb 2010, it is legal to have 35% tint on ALL WINDOWS besides the windscreen. If you want 20%, be aware that it is defectable (rare, but it happens). About the tint: The particular tint that Auto Perfection will be using on our cars is the SunGaurd PerformX 'Charcoal' Film. The deal: After all the money has been transfered to Auto Perfection, you have 6 Months to book in for your tint.

Hi Norm, That will be fine. I'll send you a PM. Cheers

Bahaha gold! There will be an update on the group tinting later tonight, we just need to finalise the details. It's looking good, real good!

Sweet, cheers. Explains why I couldn't find info about them... Might go on Rexnet and have a look tomorrow. I have a quote and service inclusions from S&J so a comparison would be good.

Haha not being a sheep u idiot! I have looked up S2 and couldn't find any info (my log book Is stamped with S2). I'm going with what has been proven to be a quality workshop with an excellent track record with WRXs! Plus they use ULX 110 oil with all services. I have no doubt S2 is a great workshop as the wife of Rally driver Simon West owned my car before me and took it there. I did my research, found nothing. If you have some info about them then I would re-assess up my options. Thankyou.

Yeah no worries, didn't realise they were paid sponsers. I was looking for myself and thought I'd sus it for others at the same time. I don't know the guys at Auto Perfection nor the SunGuard products so if someone wants to discuss it with them then go for it.

Sweet! I must look at that this weekend!

Yeah I know how it works, I will need to know what our requirements are (product wise) and an estimated number of people interested. Makes our business more attractive, hence hopefully a more competitive offer. I am aware of the SunGuard range (what Auto Perfection use) and the Tint-a-Car range. Once I know our requirements then I can flick a few emails out and make a few calls and see who comes back with the best group offer. Soooo who is interested and what sort of tint are you after? Id put links up but I'm on my phone and I'm pretty sure we can all google. Haha

Im prepared to get prices from a few suppliers. I work in procurement so naturally whoever presents the best value for money wins the job.

Hi Everyone, I'm looking into getting my windows tinted, I'm thinking I might try and get some group discounts. Would anyone be interested? I have spoken with Tint-a-Car Gawler and they are willing to negotiate a price with a group. Cheers, Penny

Cool, cheers. Where is his workshop? So far these are the packs that look decent: S&J MRT Power XA Kit $2190, includes: MRT Full S/S Rear Muffler section K&N Panel Filter EcuTek Type 1 All labour Custom fine tuning, with Dyno print-outs Exhaust Tech: ET Power XA Kit $1990, includes: ET Full S/S Rear Muffler section K&N Panel Filter EcuTek Type 1 tuned All labour

Does AM have a webpage?

Cheers, That is really good to hear! I was after something reliable with performance and im hoping that is exactly what I get. From what I have heard they are pretty hardy things and the performance and handling is speaking for itself! I havnt ventured onto Rexnet yet. I have looked at S&J Automotive and they seem to be the Go to place for Rex's. They have some performance packages that look alright, as do Exhaust Technology.

Hehehe!

Thanks guys, im so happy with it! I think the first mod will be tinted windows. Because its cheap and makes a huge difference. Then the exhaust to get the rex growl! It sounds like a turbo diesel at the moment, its kinda cute though. Nice to know I cant get defected! No fear of the Po Po for once!

Well I sold the R34 and it hasnt taken me long to find a new love... MY03 WRX with 74,500kms on the clock. Full service history and NO MODS! stock as a rock. It is so much fun to drive and a much needed return to the boost world!

Now you understand. Haha Yeah good and cheap are hard to put together. I shall replace the term with "Best value for money".
