I ended up buying it... it's $100 cheaper then the cheapest place in St Cloud. They said the groupon gets you 50% tint and anything darker is an additional $30 which I thought was still a good price comparatively. So I am stuck between $160 50% and $190 40%. I didn't even think to ask about the ceramic.

haha, NICE! You haven't been around long enough to hear all the stories buddy. On my DD(impala) I have 13" from the top of the windsheild down the sides, and then of course curved up in the middle from the natural curve of the window. Rocked a white color match on my high school gf's grand am too!

here's my wonderful Cavalier days(RED)

white vinyl banner

then the tint banner(which I much more preferred)

They would probably upgrade to ceramic too for another $50... just something to think about.

Im not sure who does tinting, I talked to David there (who installed my coils and BBK) and he said he could tint my windows for me. So I was assuming they do it at VIP, I think they do more window tint stuff than mechanical work on cars.

I am guessing ceramic would be around an extra $50, I called em and left a message. I think that groupon special expires later today

I think Lance is secretly trying to make his G look like his old cavalier

yeeeeah, well over half of what I sold it for. Sold it with 98k miles for $5800-

The paint was done by Drew (drives a mini cooper and is part of the im stanced club). He owned an orange cavalier back in the day as well and did autobody. The full paint job ended being I think around 2500-3k which was prrrrretty f'n cheap for full paint. Turned out great too!

As I'm sure most of you have seen, but since it's a mod thread and you people have been inserting text like crazy I thought I would get back to the main point of this thread



My EDFC just got installed and I can happily say I have rolled around on 0/0 and 16/16 and it definitely makes a nice noticeable difference and I can't wait to drive to FL in something comfortable lol

It was actually dremmeled out so it fits very snug in there and it still closes properly too, the arm is gone so it is just open or close w/o any spring load which works perfect, but I'm very pleased with the job and love that I can hear the little motors move when you push the presets

Negative. Purchased the car my Senior year in HS and didn't start heavily modifying it until summer between my Freshman and Sophomore year. I worked full time at Menards, part time on campus, and part time at WellsFargo. Instead of being a very well off college kid, I put ever extra dime after I paid my tuition towards the cavalier. I WISH I would have been able to do all this while I was in high school. I probably could have some of my college life back...
