Only scheduled maintenance (the stuff listed in the maintenance book that came with the car). So if you still have 3000k miles on your service interval they would charge you got an oil change.

You could always go the route I'm going to take. Change your own Oil. Although I still need to pick up a fumoto valve, some low profile ramps, and other oil change stuff.

I am at about 45,000 miles right now, and the scheduled maintenance seems to be about 3,500 miles away. I guess that is close enough to make it worthwhile to check my math on this. I might be able to get one more round of free maintenance out of this.

I am really wary of dealer prices, but spending all the money on that stuff CmdrVimes is buying so I can change my own oil in a DC street (I do not own a garage) does not do a lot for me, either.

Solar Solutions does every thing from window tint to Custom Stereo installation, Alarms, Body kits and more.

They are extending a special window tint offer to those attending the install party.
$100 bucks Can't beat that with a stick!

As the orders come in for installs I will be adding your names to the time slots on this thread. I have set it up for 3 days to make time for all the intrest.

Cheers and I looking foward to meeting everyone.

You don't need an appointment with him for the window tint. The guy who is letting him use the space does that.

I think all the blocked out times are for people that have already told him exactly which graphics they want. He is doing a custom sunroof picture for me, for example.

Exactly. You have to contact dragonflyer (vinyl guy) to setup what vinyl you want. He then puts you on his schedule.

If you want tint then you contact Solar Solutions and get on his schedule.

Just PMed you back. As soon as I know what you are getting and how long it will take I can put you down in a slot. Graphics take anywhere from 6 hours down to a half hour depending on what your getting.

I will be calling Solar Sollutions tomorrow to get in sink with Carlos on his installs.

BTW it looks like Randy Webb will be joining us for pulley installs as well. But I need to make sure it's OK with the shop first.


That's the update for now.
Cheers

This is just too cool. I've got a pulley and am looking for an Alta CAI, a perfect pulley party add-on!

That would rock. I'm definitely interested in a pulley if the group-price is right.

Hehe, this is going to be a AC/DC, SS/WT, RW/PP event.

OK every one. I think all the time slots are now filled. I had to re-arange a couple poeple by 1 hour to fit some stuff in. I hope that is OK. Please check the time slots to make sure that you are on there and the time shown works for you.

If you have not paid for your graphic yet please contact me so I can set that up for you. All orders will need to be completed at least 1 and a half weeks before the even to give me time to get them designed and printed.

Thanks


Randy Webb will be joining us for sure. He will be posting a new thread on his forum for he pulley party and will most likley post something hear as well.
