Im in the naperville area. What kind of tint do they use? Any opinions on 3m vs formula one tint? My last car had johnson and it held up well but doesnt seem like many shops use them.

lll be at Supercar Saturday as well as the premeet.

I just got my car tinted today at UMBRA. I made the appointment 3 weeks ago. While I was there, Nino was taking an unbelievable amount of calls with people wanting to get their cars tinted. He is now booked four to five weeks out.

Nino actually did my car. He did a great job and it looks really good. They use the Formula One tint. I got the Pinnacle series. It this the top of the line he carries. He is worth the wait, although I am sure there are other competent installers. I can't give you any references unfortunately.

I mentioned I found him via this forum and he took off $40.00. Not bad.

Good luck.

Hes booked saturdays straight through june I think. And thats the only day I can really do it when Im in town. Was hoping to get it done well before then but it looks like hes the go to tint guy around here. I may just wait given his reputation for quality.

The z looks 100% better with Tints. Should have come tinted from the factory.

Ive raced CCS, and have done a lot of bike track days and the one thing I noticed, is there seem to be no structure to the event? cars just pull up and run when ever? I never heard cars being called to the line. they announced the groups which where running but is it a just come up to the line when your ready attitude? really confused by that. like the white GTR, he didnt run once while I was there, that focus that won the event, he never ran while i was there either.

I dont understand what class my car is in why is the 350z in a different class then the 370z? odd is all.

I watched the video the focus took of his last lap, the first set of cones how do you know which side to start on? LOL . I figured out right away the cones laying down point you in your next direction that was cool to figure out.

also spectators have to sign a waiver, since i walked right to a spot to view the course, i didnt do that but for anyone who wants to come, note you will be asked to sign a waiver. not a big deal or anything

oh i saw motorcycle helmets being worn, i think thats a bit to much helmet and will narrow your field of vision, based on experience, so anyone thinking about it, id drop the coin for a open face car approved one.

the go carts where cool, thinking of getting one for the kid, need to find out more on the rules of that.

any way it looked like fun, i may do the may 19th one, need to get brake pads and a oil cooler though so it may be the one after, will see how fast i can get that done

pm me your email and ill get you the full res photos

It's Chicago. The weather forecast will more than likely change between now and then.

Looking forward to this event.

We'll have to wait until Friday as see what's in store for Saturday.
