So I've hit a snag!!!!!!!!!!

Tommorrow I'm shellin out 230 for a new windshield....I went into the dealer and two of em came out to look at the glass...they looked...laughed...and said..."we don't even do the windshield replacement here, but even if we did, we wouldn't fix that...!"

I'm pissed...I know a big rock hasn't hit the glass...Unless someone steals my car at night...runs down rock roads behind semis and then parks the car where I left it...I'm S.O.L....

Stylin...sorry to say it...but 400 isn't coming too soon....maybe a month or so...just lettin u know...Adios yo'z...

yo platnum, did u ask them about the service bulletin? i have a crack on my windshield too, but havent had the time to goto the dealership. its on the bottom of the passenger side. wheres your crack?

 
Rep Power: 0

I mentioned the bulletin...and the woman said it's not what's up with my car...the ones affected have cracks starting in the corners of their windshields...Mine is at the middle bottom ...pretty much centered down almost at the hood...

ahh well...phhhhhhhhhuck!

Won't your insurance cover that?

 
Rep Power: 341

hey bobby, where did you get your tints again? and how much was it? does anyone else know of a place that tints cars for a decent price? (somewhere between 100~150.. if less, great!)

 
Rep Power: 0

Mine was $185 for all the windows...Lifetime warranty and they did an awesome job and tinted throught the third brake light instead of doing the cut around it thing. Got it done at Auto One up on Dix in Lincoln Park just past K-mart!

 
Rep Power: 0

My insurance does cover it...but the type I have costs less...but has a higer deductible...its is 500...and the work will be only 230...so its outta my pocket...

I know a place in troy called sunshade that will be around 175-200 for all windows cept windshield...or like 100-150 for the back 3...It is lifetime warranty against fading, bubbles...or any defects...for the life of the car....

hope this helps...

hm 185... 43$ is a start[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] not fair that other ppl on this site got good tinting + warranty for like 50$ USD. wish it was like that here. bobby do you have the number for Auto One? i cant find my phone book anywhere.

ok now, help me out with this.. should i get: Injen SRI (150$) OR 35% tint all 5 windows for my bday(185~200$)?

 
Rep Power: 0

i would get the tint but that is cause i am going to concentrate all on looks and not so much on speed.

hmm.. thats wat i was thinkin since our civics arnt that fast anyways.. and plus i got an auto.

but then the SRI looks good in the engine bay, and sounds better than stock.. its so hard! decisions decisions!

Some word of advice if you plan on fixing your ride up! do it right the first time just don't settle for some thing cheap just for now. save your money and buy what you really want and get the quality that you and your car deserve's and won't regret ...fixing your car up can be an expensive hobby plus its a dog eat dog world a lot of PPL judge your car when they look at it trust me i compare my car to alot of other cars that gives me modavation , maybe thats why i keep coming up with so many diffrent ideas on how im going to fix up my ride, sometimes i challange my own self man do i hate that!.

Hotex I say go for the SRI since you started on your engine bay already. but then again it seems you already made your decession when you claimed that our civics arent fast, so why add any engine mods. The sole reason for adding these engine mods is to add horse power. yeah I know for looks too

Wow guyz...can't tell ya how wasted I am right now...one of my boyz turned 21 tonight...and WASTED is all I can say...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yeah...I think I might go with an SRI to dress up the engine bay too...but I don't wanna hurt my MPG...I get about 35-38 depending on how good I drive...Some peeeps have said it hurts that tho...i dunno tho...Aight...I must pass out now...Windshield is gettin replaced early...adios my bros...Can't wait till we can cruise ...PEACE!!!!!!!!

hey, i'm the pres of a team in illinois... we want to get together with some out of state teams when it gets a little warmer... we also have a brother team, so we'd have quite a few heads. if interested let me know.

 
Rep Power: 341

yea i agree on doin it right the first time.. big mistake on the cheap tint i picked up.. luckly i got to return them after i cut a lil off from the roll.. and if i get injen, its a lil both for show and go. makes it look/sound nice, and adds some HP.. so its a tough decision. but with my opinion with exhaust is show.. just makes it look nice and sound different from all over civics.. i think it adds show more than go..

U guys know just a muffler(not full cat-back) that sounds decently deep...I know I won't get really any power gains w/o doing a cat-back...but I just want it for looks...and a low sound...I don't want a weed wacker sound...Any suggestions on a muffler...

well, you know i am going to say go with magnaflow. i love the sound of mine and it never ever crackles or gets ricey sounding. not loud but deep and mellow tone.

well i just called up Quality Muffler & Brake Service. Ram Chargers recommened me that place for mufflers.. so i asked him how much for installation of the Magnaflow Street Series 6" Round W/Single Wall Domed Tip. I told him the online price i found (107.79) and hes ganna match that plus 40$ installation. good deal? i think so! so i might even have that done by the end of april!! WOOOO!!

That place rocks too! My cousin is a mechanic there.

What do you all think of this box for my subs? Subs I have one 10" JL right now in a truck box and I was going to have a new box made this weekend but now I am thinking of using the dual 10" Jensens for bigger boom. What do you all think? Thanks!

 
Rep Power: 341

wats your cousins name? i talked to Joe.. i think thats the manager dude.. maybe your cousin can hook me up a deal? as for the box, i like it. i personally want a encolsed box. looks and sounds so much better. i'd do it

 
Rep Power: 0

Don't use Jenson speakers...you will regret it!!! Save up a little and get better stuff...I just don't like their product...

I might have to go with the same deal as u and get that muffler...

peace...Mark

What if i went with the box and when the jensen's went kerplunk then bye some good ones to replace them? My cousin does not deal he is just a mechanic. Yes, i think joe is the owner though. 40 bucks is not a bad price at all. it cost me 65 bucks to get mine done at midas. quality muffler was too busy the day i decided to do mine.

EDIT: Forget about the Jensens...LOL...I just got off the phone with this guy that builds custom boxes and he is going to build me a custom portd box for my single JL 10" and he said he will be able to make it hit harder and deeper than the box it is in now. So I am going Friday to give him a deposit. This guy did my cousins box....it has two 12" kickers and the thing hits so hard that it makes his cd player skip when you got it up loud. That was insane.

oh ok.. dang.. oh well. well atleast i know i can get the muffler+installation for about 150$. 159 if you include tax.. so time to save up around 160~170 bucks. already got 47in my pocket.. plus 20~30more for shoveling the driveway. so im about half way there already
