Posted this on MyG37.com regional - but figured I'd try here also...


I have Bat's G37 GT-R headlight and taillight overlays in my house - ready to go on the car.

Realizing that while I can replace a Maxima transmission in under 1.5 hours - I cannot do the "artsy" stuff like tint, etc. I need someone to do it for me.

So I went to 4 shops around the Puyallup area today and not one of them was even willing to try putting these things on. 3 of them said especially with the headlights having 3M guard they wouldn't do those. They say it seperates after a few months. BlueBatmobile tells me he's never heard of anyone saying they wouldn't put his overlays on over the 3M.

With the taillights, they say the curve of the taillight is just too odd an angle and you can't lay tint on it. I even tried showing them pics of others on the board who HAVE done it - but they were all unwilling.

So - anyone know of a good tint shop on the south-end of Seattle that would be willing to do something like this?

 

My friend that owns a shop in Olympia will put them on for sure. I already asked if i got some if he would do them and he said yep.

Auto Trim and Design in Olympia Casey is the owner...

Sounds like it may be worth the drive.

 

I did my own on my G. I'd do these for you but i can't warrenty any of my work

 

Don't let Tito touch your car.

 

+1, it loses 1hp per minute he touches it, just ask him for a dyno plot

 

Hai was scared to dyno

BTW, it's not that hard to put on, you just gotta take your time

 

I think the G35 tails are quite a bit different than the G37 - the G37 has way more curve to it. Goes 45 degrees out for about 1/4 inch, then turns to an almost a 90 degree angle the other direction (toward the front of the car) actually at the edge. Kind of like a little lip.....

That's why I'm so hesitant to do it myself.

 

What would the point of dynoing a car thats is and will remain stock engine wise?

 

yes sir!

 

LOL i am going to get "I LOVE TITO" stickers made.

 

To know if your car is a factory freak, a lemon, or something in between?

 

So I can pick up groceries quicker?

 

no, so you can go to baby gap and buy more shirts

 

lol
