Thanks, ill give him a call.

Anyone else know a tint shop who specializes in the black vinyl alternative for the dot Matrix?

texas2009 · 09-08-2010, 04:21 PM

what is the dot matrix?

crazytaiwanese · 09-08-2010, 04:23 PM

top of the rear windshield, those black "dots" along the glass

texas2009 · 09-08-2010, 04:36 PM

I should've been more clear. What's the problem with tinting it?

texas2009 · 09-09-2010, 01:46 PM

So are we meeting this Saturday or what?
Time/Location?

Pix will be posted.

Yo so I scoped this out but it was after the light was done for the day. The roof is a great spot, it has a panoramic view of the city facing west (sunset) from 120 feet up. It does not back up to the Enron building, but actually the Doubletree, which has a pretty sweet geometric pattern to shoot against. There are some other parking garages right in the area, I am going to scope them out tomorrow after work.

Side note, just got my aero lip and m3 spoiler installed.. excited for the meet this sat! Anyone know why we're meeting up so late??

iantx,
WHAT HOOD IS THAT???
I've post questions about people's experience with the aftermarket dome hoods and got no replies.

Other than that, I don't know who set the time... hell, I thought I was on the right/original thread about it, but I guess not.

I'm available for a pre-meet if anyone else is, as long as there's a good camera involved. I'm not available until after 3:00 though. (kid has a soccer game)

Yeeeup just a reflection homie. Wish I had a powerdome hood! I would also be down to roll out a little early to get some snaps. I will be bringing the t1i so good pics to be had!

¡335i · 09-09-2010, 11:53 PM

Hey Houston folks. I'm a newbie to the N54 scene, and I need a little help. I have some catless downpipes to install, but I would rather avoid the all-day affair on my back in the driveway. I would much appreciate it if someone would PM me the name of a good local shop that is both willing to and capable of doing this for me at a reasonable price. The only place I've tried so far gave me a 'hell no.' I'm on the NW side of town not too far from the 610/Katy Freeway junction. Thanks.

mister wiggles · 09-10-2010, 11:48 AM

For sure, I work at 1 Allen. I just checked out another garage and it is a premium premium location to shoot. Continental Center parking garage right next to Allen. 14th floor rooftop, backs up to one of the Enron towers and the other side faces a 180 degree view of the med center area, totally unobstructed. Going up there like 6:30 on sunday for some great light and sunset pics. Anyone who wants to join is welcome.. test pics of the location inn my phone if anyone wants to see them tomorrow

Greatest335I · 09-12-2010, 03:05 AM
