Tint
Today I tried to schedule an appointment to have my boyfriend's truck's computer reprogrammed to handle the supercharger, but I couldn't get an appointment until Saturday, 2 weeks from now, and it is going to cost $850 plus any needed parts! That seems like a hell of a lot, but I don't know of any other performance place in my area. While I was looking through the yellow pages, I decided to start calling tint places to see if any of the places in my area could guarantee a few things for me regarding my Trans Am. I've been procrastinating getting the tint done, because on my other car, it looks like shit on the top of the back window, but my cool, customized cargo cover mat that my boyfriend bought me is getting totally sun-faded. Both of my cars have that "matrix" on top - those small rubber black circles (that I suppose are used for providing extra shade?!?), and when I had my other car done somewhere, they left all kinds of air bubbles on top. I called places until I found one that guaranteed that the tint would be flush against the window, so I ran right down there - it ended up being only about 2 miles from my house. I also wanted to ensure they wouldn't cut my defroster lines, but apparently that's not a problem anymore because they no longer cut it while it's in the window.While I was waiting for it to be done, I got some homework accomplished. I'm still entirely behind in Physics, but I'm 2/3 of the way done with my Differential Equations homework now. I haven't even started my Physics homework, and I also have that damn lab write-up to do.I just finished getting it tinted, and they did a damn good job. I had the sides tinted, too. I got the back limo and the sides 2 shades lighter than that. Oh, another thing that's cool about that place - they have a deal where if you pay an extra $25, and you damage it yourself or get a fix-it ticket from the police, you can bring it in; they'll strip it off, and (after you get the ticket cleared) they'll put it back on for you. I don't know if this law applies to states other than California, but here any tint on the front driver and passenger windows is illegal.Yay! My car is truly a sexy black machine now. Soon, I will install my suspension and add red accents to the body. Oh, and I just took a picture of my new K&N intake I got for Christmas while I was out there taking pictures.

Only way that car could look any better is if you posed on it in a swimsuit. ;)
LOL - that won't be posted on the net anytime soon.On another note: My tint started lifting up off of the matrix today - I am going to take it back and see what they can do about it.
