yea, plus hes hella quick!

i mean if you actually watch him apply the tint, damn, hes such a pro compared to some random guy at a swap meet applying a front brow and ends up scratching up your windshield. {happened to me]
i should have just gone to JJtint for the eyebrow too.

most tint stores wouldn't be thinking about powdercoating AND debadging...
tint = tint/audio store
powdercoating = powdercoating store
debadging = body shop

Try this place:

AudioSport
6630 Foothill Boulevard
Tujunga, CA 91042-2707
(818) 352-5112

Ask for Alex, tell him carl sent you

those are three totally different automotive needs!

for tint go to JJtint

for debadging, you need to go to an autobody shop, but its not going to be cheap! i would say, wait till your first not at fault accident [thats what i am doing] because you wont have to pay for it. they have to take off the front bumper or trunk, take off the emblems, weld the holes shut, smooth it out, and then re paint it [that isint cheap paint either]. if your really interested go to TwinsAutobody.com [Van Nuys]
tell Medhi i sent you, hes a really cool guy.

for powder coating the OEM rims, i say dont do it, just save that money and buy some sweet aftermarket rims [no chrome..... sorry Zumm]
