to lulu you have to come to carlisle in May and basically any event that Beasy and Phenom say, you will get plenty of ideas on what to do!

[lulu]

. umm . . . whats that supposed to mean ?? lol -

As in you get a nice welcome because your a girl. That's not a bad thing, now you get to meet some cool people who have some ill cars. We also go to events and weekend shows where we have fun and party. So its always cool when a girl rolls through bc i mean hell a girl who likes cars is usually a cool girl lol. Dont worry that was only a partial d!ck comment hahahaa if you took it the wrong way.



i cant believe im the first to say this.......,i mean you did just buy a car right ??!!?? lol

[lulu]

Lol- u guys are crrrazy. .

DJB- saw the vid, looks nice. . i cant seem to get pics up, just shows a red x w 'image' - so maybe ur not so polish

i'd be down to see a meet, a lil intimdating bc im so fresh & green & its prob mostly guys lol - but atleast I appreciate cars like a guy would! Are there girls that go? whats Carlisle?

A few months ago, my friend & I tk a trip to Baltimore, rented a Maserati GranSport Spyder to get there.. WOW-
A-mazing Car, i was in love. . hot as hell out & it was a convertible - (no, that rental is def not a normal occurance either)
one day i'll have one or a bugati veyron, we can all dream sick, sick, sick!

I know the reg stuff on cars (more than a typical girl would), not afraid to do work myself etc, but nada on performance.
was never into that, i cant be with my record anyway. .paid so much, its disgusting.

want to change up the rims at some point, probably the grill & fig out a nice tint, more classy than sporty style -
Have 20s on mine now (& the fronts r a no-no here, another cop draw) i think 20s mite be too dark w the slate -
I am picking it up tmw around noon!

I love your defense dude.... oh dont worry this is only a partial d!ck comment

Dont worry we all started stock. This is my first car ive worked on and id say it looks pretty sick!
Carlisle is the best event on the east coast its a must for all nico members to attend... even slackers like Danny show up for that... lol
Its a huge car show with several thousand cars in attendance. We (NICO) have our own section and even control the drifting/ autocross so we can go as much as we want.
Its also a huge party, Brian aka LBC aka one of the mods generally rents a lodge and we all stay there which happens to be next to a huge sick a$$ bar...

just type in carlisle 2010 you will see some pics!
But you def need to come

damn that was quick ok um yea girls go to the meets ive brought some that just like to check out the cars. Actually she has an a/c too she just goes to see whats done now she wants to mod hers. I mean overall its mostly guys but its w/e were nice lol. And if you appreciate the cars then hellz yea roll through.

Uhhhhhhh Maserati thats an ill idea i wanna rent a lambo one of these days when i go away maybe for carlisle lmao, and then get picked up in a helicopter and have the lambo waiting "dreed" lmao. But Carlisle is like a giant party weekend in PA and its also a car show/track event during the day. We get $60 lodge hotel rooms not bad rooms and were all next to eachother. We pregame at the hotels walk across the street to fridays and eat/drink. Then we go back to the hotel pregame then go to the bar which is part of the hotel. BTW sweet bar too. Then next day we drive 10 min to carlisle and theres a show over 1000 cars and we are in the corner racing around cones on the track. They also do drift they switch every hour. It amazing. Wow that was a nice description lol you can tell i cant wait for may to come. Oh and we bring friends tyo this i brought 3 friends last time so yea its alot of fun.

i have 20s now and im selling them bc i want some sport rims so no worries ull find something

lol i have 20's on my car, really fills up the wheel well nicely especially since i'm lowered!

[lulu]

I'm backkkk proud owner of an amazing slate w red interior. . this is what I did across the parking lot to it: LOL LOVE it, just looks a lil naked.

when I try to post pics, I get an "image (w a red) X" when I hit preview - what am I doing wrong? I upload them to Flickr & try to get them on here & nothing

[lecros101]

CONGRATULATIONS!! you got the sig to work i see. are you using photobucket?

[downedzephyr]

wooo welcome to the coupe family! and congrats on getting the best color coupe! first step? rims and a drop! lol

[lulu]

thanks thanks! lol- 1st step a light tint! - i feel naked without them.

Got the avatar to work but bad quality. Using Flickr, but I cld use Photobucket I guess.

[downedzephyr]

tints are nice, i finally got mine after a year 50% front/ 25% rear. kinda wish i would have gotten 35% front, but whatever. wheels and being lowered definitely make it look "less naked" as you say, i don't have any bodykits or anything on yet (aside from a spoiler) and i love the way my coupe looks now.

but now that you actually have the car, i think it's time you post up some pics!

[lulu]

Ok, for now heres some . . . not the best, some are camera phone & it was freezing as h & windy out.
I'll try to get to a empty place & take some nice ones when its sunny. .

Can you send a pic of your tints??

[Ranga14]

ha, first things first, that dealer badge has to go!

[lulu]

yea, in my excitement I didnt even see it & i was determined to not have them put it on, realized when I left.
whats the best & safest way to get that b*@#$ off?! lol

[PHENOMenalVinyl]

fishing line and a hairdryer u heat it up then slide the line under it. Then just wipe the glue off, same with the emblems if you want. 35% tint is perfect not to dark to get pulled over but dark enough to impact your cars looks.

didn't see this till now but yea i don't think you wanna fight me im 6"10" lol. But if you still wanna fight i admire your courage hahaa. And it doesn't matter if you have nothing done we have had people come who are totally stock, we all were once. And colors a hard choice im actually going to be vinyling my whole car come spring so my color will be different too.

[lecros101]

If i were you lulu id get like 20% tint because I have 35% windows and it just doesnt seem dark enough.

[jewelz505]

NOOOO dont get 20% window Tints! i did and i got stopped by a baby cop and not only gave me a ticket for my windows but a tic for MODIFIED EXHAUST and a WARNING on my tail light tints!!
i was lucky, i knew ppl that wrote me "real" receipts,took'em to court and NO $$$ came out my pocket...well kinda..haha

[elfenlied8]

+1 on Dont get 20% Tint

[obstacle]

-1 on dont get 20% tints. jsut be a smart/safe driver and you should be ok.

i've got them and they're so close to 5% its not even funny...mad dark...even in the sunlight. haha

[nig1]

from a fellow slate owner, look at my cardomain page to see how tint would look on ur car: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3862733/2 ... san-altima.
I have 30% all-around and am very satisfied. Don't get different shades like darker in back, lighter in front..tint looks best when uniformed around.

I agree, it does look better BUT lighter tint in the front provides a better contrast, so you attract less attention from our friends in the squad cars...

Can you send a pic of your tints??

here are a couple... i'm not happy with the 50% up front but at least the cops leave me alone. if i were you i would go with 35% F/20% R



yes i know i have decals on it. the tanabe one is going to be replaced with the altimacoupe.com decals, and the one on my rear window is from my sponsor, NOS Energy Drink.

[PHENOMenalVinyl]

35 front and 20 rear is a great idea just buy the led white reverse bulbs they are so much brighter

-2 I had 35% didnt get any tickets but I thought it was too light so I went to 20% I am very happy with how it looks... its dark but not too dark.

Ps always roll down your window everytime you see a cop and if you get pulled over do what phenom said and turn on your dome light.
