Rick, did you buy your MCS with the chrome scoop already installed? I'm looking for a painted black scoop.

I would really like to check out the scene at the Irving Station soon. What exit off of 101 is it? When is the next show?

How about meet at the Cruise night at the Candia Irving and than go to Billy's Sports Bar?

It's exit 3.

Have any of you guys had your windows tinted? My truck has a factory tint on all the rear windows and I really like the privacy and shade it provides. I was thinking of doing something similar on the Mini. I saw one today in Boston with tinted windows, but the tint was kind of purple colored....didn't look OEM. I much prefer something that looks factory. Any local recommendations (around Manchester or Nashua)? Price?

I went out and bought the MINI mesh sun rear sun shades. Frankr56 has them as well. Cheaper than window tint.

Did you ever get your driving lights wired up?

I had mine done at carisma in Lowell. They guarantee their work for as long as you own the car against fading, discoloration, tears, lifting, bubbling, etc... I thought the price was around $160ish. I had 15% in the rears and 35% for my fronts. A guy from work recommended them.

Carisma does vinyl as well? Maybe we should see if they would be interested in a Mini wrap install day?

Car looks good. I would get stopped if my windows were that dark. Traffic Jamz is next to Giovanni's Roast Beef and Pizza?

Did you read my post asking about your hood scoop?

Mike - Per Rick's earlier post - the Chrome ones came installed.

I think a meet at Candia and then a drive to Billies would be a good time. Let's do that Thursday night.

And Rick, have you ever had a problem with inspections with your windows tinted? I've chatted with Ryan about it before, but he hasn't had his super long... PM me if you're not comfortable telling me where "anonymous people" can see.

I use to get stopped all the time with 30% tint on my 03 Altima.

So...Thursday Meet at Candia Irving Cruise Night and then head over to Billy's.

Thursday sounds like a plan. Nick, do you want to meet up again in Manch and head out from there?

As far as the tint goes, i've had a complimetary sticker put on by the Bedford MINI with the tint and they didn't give me any grief. Although, the 35% in the front could've thrown them off. hmmmm... I wish I did the 35% all the way around or the 15% all the way around. I think breaking it up from front to back does help avoiding trouble on the road.

We can be at the McD's at any time. I get out of work at 5. Wouldn't mind relaxing for a few before rushing out.
