Eddie44 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Did he give you a ball park estimate? I'd be interested but mine is back in the body shop for the next week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we didn't talk about details.I simply figured it would depend on what tint I bought and had put on the car.I'll ask him when we talk next.

Lets just say you will cry when Chris tells you the price if you have ever had anyone else do your tint... I didnt think he was serious and thought maybe he only meant two windows :D It was the cheapest I have EVER paid for tint, and easily the BEST ive had with no issues around the little bubbles on the back window which EVERY tinter in the past has had to redo at least twice!

Hey Mike, ask him if he thinks he can fix mine. The installer I had didn't do a very good job on the plastic piece with all the holes in it, at the top of the rear window. How does he do that part? Does he cut that piece out?Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What for!??Steve Outer door was coming loose and we discovered the driverside seat frame broken when we put the new skins on. On the Yuma cruise I hit triple digits plus and the door started making alot of racket. Body shop says it looks like they got a defective door from GM. Unlike other cars, the Vette door is all one piece so the outer skin shouldn't come loose. I give them credit in that they are dealing with it 100% with no arguement on both the door and seat frame. The guy did kinda look funny at me when I told him how it had happened and at what speed. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can guarantee that he will make it look better, I'll let him do it. But if there's even a chance it will look worse, then warn him I'm a Vietnam veteran and sometimes I go back there in my mind...Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix FRC Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Chris came by my house today and tinted my windows and...Kipp came by today and Chris tinted his windows, Soo... The tint turned out great, I'll get some pictures posted up soon because you all would have to know by now I'm a big show-off. I just washed my car so I'll get some good pics tomorrow for sure. As suggest by Mike, Chris gave us a smokin deal, we paid for both cars what I expected to pay for each I felt so bad I gave him a tip, Kipp & I both gave him more money.Chris worked intently on the job until it was done, he just worked & worked & worked...He did both of our FRC's in about 2.5 hours.

I can email you his contact if you would like.The verdict is still out on the raised dot section. He said that it takes a week or so for it to clear up, but I have noticed that about a quarter of it has already cleared up over night. He's been doing tint for 17 years, and made it seem totally effortless, so I'm totally trusting his answer to that question right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have read this thread again, Mike posted his phone number, geeze.And BTW, [rant mode] as far as I know it's not a problem posting vendor contact info on this forum. UNLIKE Z06vette.com and corvetteforum, we're about Corvette's here, not lining the admin's pockets with gold. Those other forums piss me off because they won't allow the free exchange of info between vette owners, even though those forums claim to be "for" the vette owner. Baloney. They are all about generating revenue. You can't post a link to a vendor that's not paying them a fee without them squashing it, and even threatening to kick you off the forum. That's bullshit. Even complaining about that on their forums will get you bashed, insulted and maybe even banned. That's pathetic. They're not corvette enthusiasts, they're money grubbers.I hope the admins here never lower themselves to that.[/rant mode]Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix FRC Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Steve, I totally agree with your thoughts on posting phone numbers for people that help us out, business etc... because that's what the clubs are for.The F-150 online forum will no longer allow you to post garage sale items either because the fourm has sponsors, $shit, that doesn't mean to sell out completely but that seems to be becoming the way for the larger forums with sponsors.Please don't let this happen to ACE, this club rocks and need to stay just the way it is.
