Edge thank you for merging the threads.


As for the hibicus check out this work Mike has done. Also keep in mind Mike can make any custom design you want.
Also you will find Mike's prices to be very reasonable compared to many of the local Vinyl/Sign shops. Also he has done loads of MINIs and knows how to apple the vinyl to the curves of your car.

As for a MINI mechanic have you heard of Lucky Dog Garage?

I am thinking about replacing the stripes on the bonnet with the shelby or viper stripes going over the bonnet, roof and boot. Does anyone have any pictures of Minis with the shelby stripes.

Thanks

There are some others too. Carlos does a good job.

I got my tint done by Carlos as a impulse decision. He did a great job, and for a great price! My brother said that he thinks it compares very favorably to a place in NY where he got his done. His has been on for a couple years now, and it still looks brand new! There's no reason for me to think that Carlos' tint job won't be the same.

Oh yeah, I'll probably come up to hang out! (Too bad no Randy this time though! For those that were there previously, think that DCMM would be allowed back in Chili's and the diner? )

Hey we don't need Randy to cause a rukuss and get kick out of Chillis again. You guys where part of that to you now


OK since this is the "official" AC/DC Sollar install thread

I'll will post the schedule here. Please make sure to ckeck your times with carlos so there are no conflicts. Carlos takes about an hour to do a tint install so that should give you an idea. Some install from me take 20 MINUTES

or 20 minutes plus depending on the job. Seriously a full viper or shelby stripe package can take up to 5 hours. So if that is what you want just make sure to leave lots of time in the schedule.

Here is a Hawaiian racing stripe I did to give you an idea.

If you are interested in shelby stripes you can PM me for pricing.

Here is what they look like. These were done in Cabon Fiber vinyl.

OK one more thing.

So that I can get flights and hotels booked and get everything printed on time I need to collect forom all that are doing graphics with me by the 15th of Sept. Anyone that orders after the 15th will loose out the 15% discount.
Sorry about that. Just had to mention that because I get tons of folks wanting graphics like 2 days before I'm leaving.
