hard question to answer without pics, but I would definitely putty that line where they meet...vinyl is close to paint in finish, it will show up. If you can feel where the transition is, you have to keep working on it.

damn man thats fucked up. Id love to weld....but its one of those jobs you just have to find the right people, or have 10+years experience because everyone wants you to come in and bang out work like you've done it your whole life. Keep looking man, you'll find something.

the d1400 is a 14 volt battery, meaning it charges up around 15.5-16 volts. Didn't know if you knew that.....but Id make sure your DTS electrical is okay with charging that high.

think its about time to get a gun license...

^^^SETTLE??!! haha, j/k man.... Can't go wrong with a Honda/Acura/Toyota, and you can definitely find a decent one with 6k. I bought my car for a little over 3k and the only trouble its given me is the starter going out. 90 bucks and 2 hours later it was back on the road.

was curious so I looked it up.....24-26 grand for ^^^^that??? oh hell no.

they could have done better with it.....think if they kept it a subaru or toyota, they could have pulled off something a little more expensive, but impressive too. Wouldn't be surprised if the original plans were "tuned down" for scion. edit: then again, I'm biased cuz I hate scion....

best answer I can give is, depends completely on the color your going with and how deep those dings are. If your going with a very common color (silver) its probably the best color to hide scratches and dings. but darker colors black, dark blue, etc. is gonna be pretty obvious. Also, no matter what, a ding is gonna be easier to see with brand new paint...there's really no hiding it. But I would have them take those dings out too while your there.

^^ sounds the same as all the rest to me. This whole youtube broadcasting yourself thing is getting a little ridiculous.....the line is fading between talent and just more of the same bullshit.

favorite scene

strange line of cars....civic and VW completely out of place.....shit, the escalade is out of place money-wise

that slamming doors thing is actually a myth. A lot of shops don't use stops so the shield won't slide, (there are very few that need it) they just tape it up for 24 hours (our glue is 5 minutes, then that things not going anywhere). Some cars/trucks come with stops but most of the time they get hacked off by the tech who replaces the shield. Theres a lot more corruption in this job than one may think....

depends on what kind of urethane they use....I work for one of there competitors in the new england states, our glue states that the car is safe to drive after one hour (meaning the urethane has reached its tensile strength, and if a collision occurs, the glass will hold even with the passenger side airbag going off against it). But the glue does stay wet (not fully cured) for a couple days after its been applied. If safelite's glue is similar, you could wait a couple days to make sure. The glass sliding down can definitely happen regardless whether you had your subs going or not, especially on a hot and humid day.

PMed man

selling my power wire kit cuz Im still trying to come up with a deposit for a new car. these kits were sold by knukonceptz at a closeout price of 90+shipping. I never installed it, just tested an amp with it outside the car, so its basically new. 20' silver OFC power wire and 5' black OFC ground cable comes with wafer style fuse holder and 200 amp fuse. selling it for 80 bucks shipped cont. 48 because it'll fit in a flat rate USPS box.

yourautotrim.com has faux suede and vinyl

who told you they don't make it anymore? it wasn't safelite was it? I ask mainly because safelite manufactures there own glass....if they don't have it, they might just tell you they don't make it anymore.....meaning SAFELITE doesn't make it anymore.....

that "gap" looks factory...like its supposed to be there. the bubbles on the top are most likely in the label. does the sidepost (not your stinger) fit the side adapter? and I would just cut the factory battery clamp and crimp a ring terminal on. edit: not to mention, just because its recommended, doesn't mean its necessary for the install.

this is SOLD!

happy b-day to us all!
