[Sat-Sun, Oct 14-15] Tint, Graphics, Stereos & Alarms

I just got off the phone with Carlos. The dates are October 14-15th. Thats right 2 days of tinting and vinyl !!

Tint, stereos, alarms, tvs, amps, you name it his shop will install it. The main thing though is tint.

The going rate for MD/VA/DC legal tint is $100 on a MINI. This is for the 4 side windows and rear boot glass if you want more please ask Carlos for a price. You can also bring other vehicles for tinting, call Carlos for a price.

To schedule a time you must call Carlos (or whoever answers) @ Solar Solutions 301-498-7333 or 1-866-875-TINT and mention the promotion.

The shop is located at:
8740 Cherry Lane Suite 16
Laurel, Md 20707.

Openings also with Mike of Aesthetic Creations for vinyl. PM/call him for details.
Check out his thread here.
He was part of this event last year, check out the work he did here.

I'm going to call Carlos and setup an appointment as soon as I get Morgan's schedule. I sure that she is going to have a field hockey game on one of those days and as much as I want tinting she's on an A team and she loves the game so I need to work around her schedule. I'll post as my time as soon as I get one.

Do you have to drive MINI to get the tint for $100??

Sounds sweet.

I spoke with Carlos and depending on the vehicle it will determine the cost. It comes down to labor and the amount of tint he has to use. A MINI is of course mini and uses very little tint so its cheap. A larger vehicle such as Town car, Navigator, Escalade and such will cost more.
He said to just give him a buzz and he will figure out a price. He is a very reasonable and cool guy so you can call and get it just the way you want it.


I also have calls out to some vinyl folks to see if they want to join it.

Calling the shop is the best thing to do. Since there is several to choose from and each has a pricetag.

Bump!

Come on folks, in order for Mike of AC to make the trip out to our area he needs people to contact him about vinyl jobs. Without your interest he will not come out here to do his awesome work.

Don't look at me, I already have a graphic. You know, the one that never made it to the web page.

I do think I was some custom center cap stickers though. But that isn't a travelable thing.

AC/DC install Party 2 Oct. 14 -15

OK as you know we had the most successful install party right here in your backyard. We had to extend the party for a total of 3 days just to cover all the installs!

Lets make it happen again folks. Carlos has opened his tint shop (Solar Sollutions) for another crazy weekend filled with tint, loud stereos and Napolian Dinomite.

Here is what you get from Aesthetic Creations.

Awesome custom work and Professional installation from the Master. Me
Like this new design for you flower children.


15% discount for graphics and installation to help your pocket book.
Check out the highlights from last years install.
http://www.aestheticreations.net/gallery/dc2005.htm

I have one person down for an install already so don't hesitate to get your time spot booked up!
I'll post a schedule in a few days after I get some more orders.

Happy Motoring.
