sweet. pics afterwards!

 

already planning on it!

i'll have pics Saturday after tint install, then i'll post pics of interior illumination after i receive all the LEDs.

 

i was also looking into getting my windows tinted. which ones are you getting tinted for $395. it sounds like the llumar ceramic is top-of-the-line. i got a quote today for 3M. maybe i will reconsider. any idea how i can find a llumar installer in my area. i live in new jersey. any help would be much appreciated.

 

what if.......a wide body kit for the g37

 

It is not wide enough?

 

i'm pretty sure that Llumar is one of, if not the best selling brand of automotive window tint. the place i called is known for doing installations on higher end vehicles. i called and asked for a quote for 20% all around sans windshield, to which the guy said $220. i said, "i have a new G37 with Nav and XM and would like options". he then explained every grade of tint and the different types (metallic vs ceramic) and the implications of having either. i've also read many times over on g35driver that Huper Optic is boss, so i inquired about it. i was told (from more places than just this one) that the Llumar ceramic is comparable.

wow, sorry if that seemed long-winded. http://www.llumar.com/na-eng/Automotive/auto.html is Llumar's website, but i can almost guarantee that if you look in the yellow pages, you'll find places that use it. all you have to do is ask them

 

When you're choosing film, make sure you pick a film that has the "color" that you want. Some will look traditional black/charcoal, some will look silver, green, etc. depending on the material (e.g., metallic, ceramic, dye, hybrid, etc).

Also, Huper Optik has a ghosting problem with the back window. I'm not entirely sure if this is just due to HO or a ceramic film problem.

Lastly, a tint is only as good as its install. So be sure to go to a reputable place to get it done (with lifetime warranty).

 

thanks, guys

 

nope! i don't like the way the doors open up either

 

I have purchased the escort 9500i, invisicord, and the mount to go under the rear view mirror. I'll keep everyone updated on whats happening. They should arrive some time late next week.

 

Sw33t, i just hardwired mine.. works great, will take pics of the 12v+ wire and etc. Cant mount yet cuz just got tint strip

 

if i do get the g. the first mods i will do is tints and a radar detector. i would go with some volks but i really like the 19'. does anyone knows the tint allow in louisiana?

 

Not true I know for a fact that they are not needed and in fact not even issued in Nova Scotia or Alberta. IMO I think no one should need a front plate they look ugly and really the photo radar and cops only get ya from behind. LOL.

 

Any one know how the interlock works that keeps you from playing video while driving? Is it a switch on the p-brake or what?

 

you would need to ground the Vehicle Speed Sense wire and the Parking Brake wire. a DPDT switch would work well for this.
