I've been driving mine since I got it (which is really just weekends since I travel all week for work). Hoping this weekend it is warm and sunny like last Saturday.

Just make sure you get a good wash when the salt is gone (including the undercarriage)

Agree. I took my Lady Z out on Saturday as well. I was bored, there was nothing to do but sit around and talk to my wife........I had to get out of the house.

I took the Z to the Dekalb Oasis on Saturday. There was no one on I-88 heading Westbound. Once I got through the Aurora Toll at Farnsworth and out into the rural part of I-88 I opened her up and got to 120mph for about a two miles or so. Have a V1 and was trusting it. It felt good to open it up. The car as usual handled just right. Really enjoyed the solitude.

Caught Lunch at Panda Express at the Oasis and then headed back. Nothing fancy, just set the cruise at 75mph and relaxed. The Sun felt good.

Looking forward to warmer weather later this week and into the weekend. It's about damn time!!!

I have not had any prior experience with Z-Tech personally, but my daughter's boyfriend is a mechanic. He has had many cars tinted over the years and has always gone to the following.

Quality Window Tinting | Chicagoland's Premier Window Tinting Experts

He knows the owner of this company very well. He just recently had his 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 tinted 20% all around except windshield. It looks just great. Lifetime Warranty. Really good work.

As a side note, Z-Tech use 3M Tint. Quality uses Llumar. The guy from Quality does not hold a very good opinion of 3M product. He also has Ceramic Window Tint which is the preferred tint type I hear.

I will be getting my car done at Quality within a couple of months. I want the weather to get warmer to help fully cure the tint faster.

If your interested, let me know and I will PM his name.

Best of luck with your goodie mods. CAI and CBE alone are worth the price of admission. You plan on coming out to the first meet in early April, weather permitting of course.
