Nice Car! But I just got my windows tinted 5% all the way around and my remote doesn't work either! Maybe it is the tint...I have to walk up to infrared on the drivers side...

It's the RF antenna. Are you under warranty? I got it fixed as a "good will" gesture, but it's a 1K fix.

Thanks for the b'day wishes, guys! I didn't respond to some of your texts cuz I got sick, so I went to lunch with my Dad and then just passed out for most of the afternoon/evening.

Just picked the car up from the shop. Had the front bumper re-sprayed. Freakin rained on my way home and I can't wash the car for a couple weeks, so I guess I'll be washing it right before the meet.

Took some pics from my new phone.

you have the worst luck. it always seems that when you get your **** painted, it rains like right after.

lookin good though, the headlight cleaner nozzle covers fit much better.

I know, for real. Grille already is getting some rock chipping, but that's expected. Might get some extra flat black paint just to always touch up the grille.

Yup. Autocraft. Took it the day before my b'day, since I had access to an extra car for a week. Dropped it off, but as you guys know, got sick right afterwards. Not the greatest of luck the past couple weeks. I just hope that this bug goes away soon...still lingering around.

how much did it cost to re-spray your bumper?

I might need to do that too

Well, I don't know if that's "all" lighting. One is midnight blue and the other is black opal (which is a black w/ green/blue tint).
