AC/DC install Party!!!

Aesthetic Creations will be in Washington DC for the weekend of October 14,15 and 16. I have arrange a place for installing the roof graphic or custom stripes you've always wanted.

Solor Solutions will be supplying the install bays for me to work. Here is a map

saturday please...

I'd like to be signed up for Saturday. Roof/bonnet/boot. Pick the time, since I dont know how long it will take.

At $100 - I think I'll be getting my mini tinted and my fiancee' Honda tinted too. Do we make appts for the tinting through you or directly with Solar Solutions?

With the full roof/sunroof and stripe in the front your looking at about 5 hour to be on the safe side. Let's plan for 12:00 to 5:00

If you show up any of those days you can get the $100 tint speacial. If there is enought people getting window tint we may have to set up a time schedule for that too. I'll talk to carlos again in a couple weeks.

Your all set for that. You can e-mail me with what you are getting and I will put the package together for you. That goes for anyone going beyond just a single item.

It looks like that one has spent too much time in the sun.

All joking aside I charge $50 for bonnet, boot or sunroof installs(not all at the same time of course). You will also get a 25% Discount on anything you get from me incuding installation. PM me or e-mail me and we can work out what to put on your sunroof.

Good deal on tint my man


Put me down for 9am on Saturday. I want either some checkmatr type stripes or some hot viper stripes. I know I PMed for something. Or what do you suggest? I want bonnet and boto stripes. I'm not big on the roof graphics. If you can come up with something hot to put on the sides I'm game. Pic of car

I really need to get an email together with my idea and graphics so we can discuss the details and the costs. I will work on getting that to you tonight since I have nothing I need to do.

9:00 AM Saturday works for me for the roof, bonnet graphic and small side graphic (possibly stripes). I need to send you the graphics I have. They are Adobe Illustrator files. I am in for the window tint as well.

MTFBWY,

Question about sunroofs

I have a question concerning the sun roof. Mine is currently uncovered, you can see my gallery to see what my sun roof looks like right now. Do I need to get the white cover for it before you do the work, or is applying the white part part of what you do and included in the cost? I just want to be straight on everything. Thanks for your time.

MTFBWY,

I am just about certain you do not need to apply a white decal before applying any other decal you might want. Choose something with a white background, and there you are.


Not wishing to thread hijack, but does anyone know if there is a good place near this tinter to get an oil change? Seems a useful time to kill another bird with this stone...

Still planning on doing the Smurfette (for sunroof) with the flowers on the bonnet - how about Friday at 2:00?

I'll need to make a 2nd trip to get the Union Jack on Guvna (for sunroof) so I'll plan on coming back on Sunday at 12:00 if that is still open.

Please PM me with the price including installs. Thanks.

Thanks,
Marty

You don't get your oil changed at the dealer every 10k-15k miles?

After the $240 tire change, I am a bit wary of driving 50 miles out of my way to learn what the dealer will charge me next.
