Dan = me for 5pm on the MINI and 10am for the Subaru (unless we need to change it to all Sunday for graphics purposes - I can get a co-driver to bring the LGT)

I just ordered my bonnet checkmate. Are there any pre-installation preps I need to do to my car? I am coming from VA so it won't be the cleanest.

When Mike installs the vinyl he will use a solution of water and soap to clean the area. So its no biggy.

Same thing goes for those getting tint.

Mike, how close of a match can you make a sunroof vinyl in Hyper Blue? I'm guessing it's tough because HB is metallic...

Carlos, I want to get my sunroof tinted as well.. The last tint had a metallic content to it which interfers with the stealth mounted EZpass.

Do you have a dark tint without the metallic content?

he and I talked about this issue actually....my Subaru has Llumar Formula One mettalic tint and it's causing issues with my FM (antenna embedded in the rear glass). He's getting some 'carbon' tint to re-tint it.

Your roof will take me about 2.5 hours so I need to set you up for a different time. Can you make it down on Friday?

I have a very close match the the hyper blue so yes I can do that.

PM me and let me know. I can fit you in on one of the main days.

Let's put you down for 9:00 am on Saturday. I think I can make that happen if I move a couple things around.

At this point I don't have enough installs to fill up Friday. I will however open friday for anyone else that needs to book an install.

Mike/Carlos,
when should i schedule my tinting and stripes? Sat or Sun is fine w/me.
also, will anyone be around either Sat or Sun that wouldn't mind attempting to install the MINI alarm system? I can order it from Classic or Morristown and bring it w/me to that event.

You should call Carlos, he is the guy from Solar Solutions. I believe his # is somewhere on this thread.

I can schedule you in for Friday. Sent you an email.

As off today I have opened Friday for you straglers
If you would still like to get vinyl installed I can schedule you in for Friday. The deadlind for the discount has passed but I will still offer great pricing and me for installations
