Closer to your neck of the woods, I'd recommend Balanced Performance in Sugar Hill. They also specialize in Nissans.

I'll have to look for them next time Im over there. I really only go that far to go to Sam's Club. Im not sure I would be doing any real engine mods. Maybe the stillen pulley. I would most likely do suspension and exhaust. Also need to find someone that will do 20% tint haha.

I really would recommend not doing 20% tint in GA. Cops can be ***holes about that. 32% is the legal limit.

I had my windows tinted at Custom Sun Control in Marietta. From what research I did, they looked to be the best quality in the Atlanta area. I'm definitely happy with my tint. 32% though, but it looks good. On the expensive side, but quality is top notch.

I can attest to 20% not being GA cop friendly, or maybe its just luck. I had 20% on my firebird when I was in high-school and never had a problem, but on my Audi they pegged me in a heartbeat. I've used Solar Eclipse Tinting by the Mall of Ga on four cars and have had wonderful instal jobs with good film. They aren't the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive either. They did my firebird (convertible so the back windows is a major pain), my scion (glass roof too), they re-did my audi (I went somewhere cheaper for the 20% and wasn't nearly as happy so I had them re-do it at 30%) and the A/C. The back window on the A/C had bubbles come up in it after I got it home, and they fixed it the next day, plus really nice guys too (one has a nice G35). This time I went with 30% film and haven't had a problem. Its dark enough to look good and actually be useful, but not as dark as 20% to get harassed for it.

I had 20% on my 3000GT for a good 6 years in Indiana with no issues. Sucks they are strict about it down here where its more useful. I guess I can live with 32% but I won't be happy about it!

The snow destroyed air travel to Atlanta. I was supposed to be in Atlanta at 3 PM. I didn't get here until 4:45am and now I'm sitting in my corporate class dying of lack of sleep.

Meet this sunday?

I totally think I've seen your car in Athens before! How many red ones could there be?

On a side note the snow refused to stick to the hood of my car for some reason it just kept sliding off. It would build up a layer and then slowly slide off the front. All said and done I had a snow drift in front of a fairly clean car.

I didn't get a good look at it I just remember walking past it. I was out with a bunch of friends for one of their birthday's at Blur and it was parked at the church across the street. I wanna say it was like the last friday in January... I'm not sure though. i know it was a friday. *shrug* Red + Athens just reminded me of seeing one.

I'm seeing more and more everyday though, damn this popularity! We were so unique.

Haha, small world! We usually end up out there once a month or so, sometimes more depending on how hard I'm dragged out of the house. I'll make it a point to keep my eyes on the look out for it next time.

I would be willing to join an Atlanta group. As for the A/C group as a whole I may or may not. I haven't joined in the past because I have this big thing about not accepting friend requests from people I don't actually know or have never talked to before (same thing goes for myspace too). I hate when facebook shows more stuff from people you don't even have a clue who they are versus the people your trying to keep up with.

I'm OCD I know I can't help it. I have to park with my steering wheel straight, the volume has to be on an even number or multiple of 5. The cup holder or storage bin have to be in their fully closed and locked positions when not in use. If there's ever a piece of pinestraw stuck to the windshield wiper I have to pull over and remove it. I need help I know

Do any of y'all know of any good detail shops in Athens or near it?I was home for spring break in Savannah and the tree pollen is a nightmare, so my car is covered in yellow pollen. just wondering if there are any good detail places around.
