Hey guys,

I picked up a 2009 touring + sport 6MT last week. Just want to say hi!

My car needs a 30K service but I don't really want to bring it to a dealership. Can anybody recommend a good shop I can bring it to? I'd like to get the manual transmission oil and diff fluid replaced. Thanks.

AwesomeZ
PowerFab Automotive
EVS Motors
JTran

Really depends on the side of town you're on.

Ron 04-09-2012 07:08 AM

Have you considered doing it yourself? The tasks you mentioned are fairly simple, not to mention you'd save some money.

Robert_K 04-09-2012 07:26 AM

Sounds like you all should organize a "tech day." I use to host one twice a year in Colorado.

hadokenuh 04-09-2012 10:11 AM

I will definitely be interested in a tech day :)

I'll probably go to JTran. Have heard a lot of good things about him and the shop. Thanks guys.

Hello everyone. I just bought my 2011 Silver Z w/sport package last week. Looking forward to doing some work on it.

What Window tinting shops do you guys use, and how much did you spend? I can't stand being untinted, I feel so exposed lol.

Welcome, we are having our weekly meet this Thursday at Hooters off 59 inside the 610 loop if you want to meet some of us.
On the tint, it depends on what level you want? Basic tint should run 100ish dollars but more advance tint can be 300-600 depending on the level.

Alright guys sorry for the delay, here are the pics. The car is really a blast to drive. This is my first MT and I am lovvviiing it :driving: though I still find shifting from 1st to 2nd kind of hard sometimes.

By the way, I have some Infiniti wheels and tires for sale. Just posted them here (http://www.the370z.com/parts-sale-pr...ml#post1669342). The tires are Mich Super Sport and the size is 225-50/18 and 245-45/18. Let me know if you or anyone might be interested. Thanks.

it might be a little far from you but I always get my tint from Stereo FX off i-45..they have the Cermeric...crap, "metal tint". to do your back window, corner pocket and side windows will cost you $80. i know "you get what you pay for" but i had their tint on my last car for 8-9 years and it didnt turn purple on me.Was in really good shape when I traded it in actually and you have a 1-2 year warranty just in case it bubbles or you roll down the window before it dries:ugh2:

I actually have their tint on my z now

Dark Sarcasm 04-18-2012 06:29 PM

i cant remember where i got my tint. It a little place off of I-10 in Katy. Took em like 20 mins and looks good. I think I paid $150 for all the windows. They wouldnt even talk about doing limo tint though. But I'm glad I didnt anyway, this car is hard enough to see out of.

Ron 04-18-2012 06:34 PM

kool-karz? that's where I had mine done. $150 for the top of the line ceramic stuff.

YES! thanks, I'm Z-less right now or I would have just gone out and looked at the window sticker.

vermithrax 04-19-2012 11:53 AM

Does Kool -Karz offer a warranty? $150 for top of the line tint is an awesome deal.

VDC_OFF 04-19-2012 01:01 PM

I dont like tint anymore. I like to drive around blasting the song "Look at me now!"
