Cool stuff! I'll be looking into the front windshield tint everyone is speaking of...

Over the weekend:

350z Headlight Modding on Vimeo

My friends Nismo 350z getting his headlights done in my garage... they came out great! I have some ideas on mine...

That sounds about right. The only difference was that I got it around Christmas and got some extra discount for making the reservation online.

I am sure that other places do a good job as well. Just that in my past experiences so far TNT has done a better job with no peeling or damages to the car.

With that being said.....even though I cringe at the prices when I have to go there...I just pass over the CC and say "thank you".

im gonna go check it out when my car gets here.. :P .. do you have any pics of the job on the windshield ?

^I wanna see some pics too =)

Anyways, my car will be here soon! End of the week (scheduled Friday). We should throw up a small meet as 370 owners. Even if it's only like 3 of us, haha.

^^ mine is enroute too .. but it should get here next week :(

Let's do a small meet with us 370 guys next week. You guys interested? I know there is a VQinc and all, but I'm more interested in our community. Even though it's really small, we can get a lot of information from each other and have some good face time.

I'm down. Though mine's all stock. I went to a vqinc meet a month ago, I was the only 370. But mine looked weak next to all the different bodykits w/ rims. Some were pretty sweet.

^Cool. Yeah, I'm a moderator on their facebook page. I'll post up a photo of the banner I made for them for SPOCOM/shirts.

Stock is always the beginning =)

^^ well .. i know you will get yours this friday.. ill let you know when i get mine :)

Works for me... we should do it RIGHT when you get your car, haha

we can do it the following week.. or any other day really .. i got my stillen gen3, and my wing waiting to be installed .. :D

Well if that's the case, sounds good to me... my car should be in SPOCOM so i'll be very busy getting everything together; so maybe the following week is better.

im down...let me know when and where.

Will do... I'm looking at the first weekend of September. Hopefully you guys are off

hopefully .. hey definitionxmk, since you are in the same situation as i am (bringing a car from cali.) can we start doing the paperwork even if the car is not here yet? as far as registration and all that? .. do you know how much is it?

and yeah ! im down too to go ride some time

First thing you need to get is Safety. And they are going to need your car for it... plus that Hawaii insurance card/registration/shipping bill of lading to pass.

If you have aftermarket suspension, or something crazy; you're going to need recon. which is a bitch... hopefully you don't need it.

after you get that, then you bring everything to the DMV (satellite city hall is what they call it) with your safety slip and all the other forms to get it registered. If you're in the military, you're going to need that "non-residency" form so your registration jumps down to 20 something bucks vice 200 something. But only if you want hawaii plates... if you go out of state, it'll cost you the norm 200 something.

Loop hole: The shipping company gives you a bill of lading good for 30 days or so for registration. So you technically can be out of safety spec and run your out of state plates until those 30 days are up. so if your car needs recon, you make an appointment (which is usually booked for a month) and show up for the inspection. if you fail, they give you a notice for such and such days for you to fix it. Basically extending your out of state, no safety requirements until you get recon. Pretty crazy, eh? So technically you can keep going forever as long as you keep showing up at the recon place and getting extensions.

The only reason why i didn't do this in the first place was because my base stickers expired. in order to get new base stickers, you need up to date safety and registration. so yeah... I'm sure you don't have to do all that ;)

^^ damn.. thanks . . i guess its double paper work to get my base sticker... :S . . . i guess ill ask if i can get off work to take care of that :) !

safety is a bitch to get done....even with the slightest mods. some places are super picky and some will let you slide with some stuff. it took me 2 weeks to get mine safety checked.

saftey?


Wuts that?


lol on a serious note heard it was going away

Dont get safety near any of the bases... They usually dont let anything slide. Especially the hobby shop by pearl harbor x_x

where did you hear this??? i hope that its true!!!

^^ what about the hobby shot at MCBH ? .. i heard they are pretty lenient ...

um.... you can try. I know for sure my car won't pass anything, haha

mine should not have a problem.. its stock so far.. except the stereo, but what can they say about it.. lol ..

are you guys going to be out tonight? the usual spot..NEX???

I rarely go out there. I use to but it attracts too much attention... I stick with low key meets and car shows. Some VQ cruises around the island too... so yeah.

I just go and watch....more just to hang out. But when they start cruzing I just hang back. Going out with them is an accident waiting to happen.

SPOCOM is this saturday... who is going? If you guys do go, you get to see my Z with hot girls!

What time does it start? I'll be there.

5-11pm I believe

where is this at ? . .

Good luck at the show and hope you "guys" all have a safe fun time out there. :tup:

Anyone know of a good place to get tires?

^ i never been to sears to buy tires..but i just picked up my z from matson ... and they gave me a brochure about sears.. and it said that if you mention that you just shipped your car through them or something like that, you get a discount. and apparently they have a big variety of top brands .. you should check it out..

o yeah .. i finally got my car !!!! lol

^grats!
