What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

I used to have 20% on, then I pull it off due to a bogus ticket.? Then I put some on myself and I could never get it right with tint.

Chicago cop?

I always thought that suburb cops were worse but Tony said Chicago city cops now are horrific. Since 2009 when the new tint law passed increasing fines from $25 to $250, Chicago has generated over $3,000,000 in revenue. He said Mayor Daley was caught in some cop conference telling the officers pull over any car you see with tint no matter what.

the law in Chicago right now is for our FX is 45 on fronts are legal because we have the rear factory shaded and tint allows a 5% variance.

Michigan, getting caught with tint is a moving violation, 2 points and increases your insurance. I didn't think it would be as dark as it turned out dammit.
 
FYI only state troopers have a tint meter. Chicago cops just guess.

If you're in the suburbs, find out when the next charity event is for your local police -- I go to charity golf outings and you get to know the cops... well worth it.

Yep that's him... Italian hippy maann.

By the way, if it wasn't for Ian I would have never known about this secret tint gem! Lol

hahaha wow what a small world. that guy did my tints back when i was 16 on my previous car. He was funny as hell and pissed off my pops while he was doing the tints (jonas we gotta exchange some stories next time lol) i remember he charged me $150 to do the whole car back then
 
Hahaha Pat, I like it too. It would be better if I can rid of the light vibration. Just a little not too annoying. I got an idea to make it more stable. I will let you know once I test it out.

I've noticed a lot of you guys keep your winter weathertech mats in....why during the summer?

Personally, I just take it out and rise it and I'm done. Less vacuuming. It catches everything. :laugh:

Yeah, they look that good and they work that well. My last incident was a spilled latte and the front mat contained the entire mess until I could use my wifes favorite shirt to mop it up (while she was wearing it) I kid BUT I love these mats.
 
^^Ouh nice. Man this reminded me to get Marek to get his change out. How can he look at that dash everyday?
 
Took off the grill and did it over only this time i painted it all black.
Sanded it down with soap and water and 80 grit sandpaper then 220 grit sandpaper.
After it was died primed it and let it dry then put three coats of black paint.
