I would be interested in trying it myself. I want to wrap some parts of my car as well but i consider the Labour too expensive. PM and we can try and see if a group thing is possible.

Also, I would love to come out to one of the meets but my car is bone stock except for the window tint, so I need a little upgrading before I show my face. lol

I know a member went to N-Motion, but not sure if they install lips.
Can't you do it yourself??!

not the BC member but know something about inspections, as long as you know the car was not in the accident you have nothing to worry about, the inspections were created due to many cars being sold out of the provinces where they were a write off in the original province after some serious accidents. Unless BC has a pollution test you have nothing to worry, once again, if you know the car was not involved in the accident which can be easily check by running car fax with the vin number.

yeah.. CarProof comes back saying car is good

the only thing I am worrying about is the polarized front window.

It is not tinted by film ... it is factory glass comes in a tinted color...... not sure if that will causes issue ~

THe polarized window shouldnt be a problem. PM me and I will give you the name of a shop that I had my inspection completed at.

[mir-ali604]

Can someone provide a recommendation for a good shop to have wheels refinished. Preferably somewhere between Vancouver and Langley.

We use Alloy Wheel repair at our dealership...
They are mobile and come to you...
Call Dan 604-722-8455

They do a good job and prices are pretty fair compared to Greens.

I'm not sure if the front plate is required for the inspection,
but I currently have this:
Hole-less, adjustable, removable & under $10

Instead of drilling into the botton area of the bumper like the member above did, you can just ziptie it to your lower mesh, took me 10 mins to install:
