What eye doc did you get your prescription from? I've been trying for years to get one...

I just went to a local doc and she wrote it up. But I have bad astigmatism and I get migranes from too much light from the sides because my left eye tries to focus wrong from the light, so I wasnt just trying to get her to write one up just so I can tint the car. I'm still going trying to figure out how to stop the migranes. Tint did help a little but 35% isnt real dark, but I still have some issues if it is really bright out. I'm probably going to have to get it darker after I get back from Kuwait. I'm told because of the way my eyes are now, I will probably be really sensitive to light after being there.

okay okay, i guess that's cool you got it and I didn't...LOL!

I run 20% on the G and 5% on the rear 3 windows of the Impala w/ a 5% banner and 20% driver/pass.

I canNOT drive a car without tint.

I need to get on this. My eyes are actually sensitive to light but I didn't realize I could geta prescription from my ophtamologist to support the tint on my car. I'll ask him in the coming week. he s a cool guy so he may do it. I have yet to get in trouble but it will be nice to have if I get pulled.

I realized after the drive yesterday that pretty much have no tinton my windows. I'm not sure what the percent is. But I'm definitely gonna have it stripped off n run a lower percentage. I'm taking my front plate off for a bit today. I also realized last night as we were half walking back to the car lol, I lost a Fckin center cap already. A new one is 40 bucks, I'm not happy about it. I'm definitely looking to enjoy the weather down here tho!! I saw a ton of coupes n Ms on the trip down, it was awesome!!!

Dropped off my taillights today at the shop. They had a couple 350Z headlights waiting to be worked on. No led work being done (he can if you ask) on those but they are blacking everything out and wrapping the amber pieces in CF. Got a chance check out some picture of the work they've done too. Dude appears to be pretty skilled. This may be another option if anyone is looking to get some work done without having to ship out of state. I'll use myself as the guinea pig next month with the Audi lights and report back.

Please do! If they're good, its possible i'd have them do my headlights instead of ONEighty, just to beat the costs of shipping.

Good morning!! Feel like a kid getting ready to go to Disney land. We are viewing 9 homes today. I haven't seen all of them online but there s definitely a couple that I wouldn't mind calling home. Excited to finally start the process

GL Tevi!!! Definitely exciting!!


One bit of advice, the ones that you see online and you feel REALLY GOOD ABOUT, are the ones that arrrren't so great in person. I remember I had a house I was almost ready to buy without even seeing in person, and we had gotten there and it was a DUMP! And they were asking more there with an unfinished basement, and a 2 1/2 stall garage uninsulated, then the home we found about 10 houses later :-)
