I always get mine done at eclipse tints on main street. tell them phil from acura sent you and you could all 5 windows done for $99. i've been going to them since 2006 when I had my STi. NEVER had a problem with them.

jb4 and meth on the way. going to give that a try to see how i like it. the cobb has been fun but i've taken it as far as it will go without getting a custom map made. looks like there is an e85 station on maple rd in williamsville. i'll have to check that out
HEy,
I also had a COBB stage2 with all bolt-on. however, i changed to JB4 this week and, holy shit, there's big difference. now, my wife is running cobb stage 1 on her 135i and it's fast but my wife doesnt race or mod so she's happy with that.......for now, haha. anyways, change it to a JB4, you won't regret it. i didnt.

p.s i'll see you all at the meet tonight around 9pm at towne bmw.

Hey Phil, had to bounce before you got out there. Aflatau and I were there a little after 8 or so. Got a ride in his car and I think I'm going to like jb4! We'll all have to meet up again soon. I'll hit you guys up for some jb4 tips

Anyone with Cobb get protuned at innovative? I inquired and was surprised to hear him say he has done 8 local cars! Anyone on here?
What brands... Any ceramic variations as I have comfort access and anything but will cause signal issues!

Autocross guys-

This Saturday at Letchworth. The Gen Valley club is pretty great, relaxed and fun but still competitive. Not as many attitudes as the local SCCA guys (although the local scca is great and full of good people there's a couple attitudes that don't really belong in parkinglot racing )

Here's a link:

I used to autocross a 4th gen Firebird Formula and then my WRX wagon during my college years, I won my class for the year once and have instructed, so if you come up I will be more than happy to show you the ropes.

As long as you go with an open mind and know that you will be one of the slowest guys there you'll do great and have fun and make some new friends

PS, if anyone can help me resolve an issue with this board I can't PM, start a new thread or reply to a thread unless I use the quick reply.

The box where the message goes is gray- I can type all I want but when I hit "respond" I get an error message that the reply must contain at least 1 charachter.
