Need some help with my list..

Post by EscapingFate »

OK so my list so far consists of...(all prices were found using search function so correct me if they are wrong.)
A Catback exhaust -$300
Extractors- $750 including install
An intake system - $300(approx)
Tinting- $300(approx)

Now im looking at also getting rims and side skirts I know which ones i want for the rims but side skirts i have no idea what ones i should get.

WHich brings me to another question.

Does anyone know a place that can colour match my candy apple red paint and respray my boot, side mirrors, a small patch on the bumper thats scratched, the side skirts, and a small patch of black on my roof? and that will do it for a reasonable price?

THEN!
I need to fix a small leak in my rear tail light and im sure some one will know how to fix this its just a dodgy seal that needs repairing but it some one can show me how to fix it that would be awesome.

EDIT: need to clean my headlights too wether it be a sanding or a polish ... i dont know what ever works best ill need some one to show me how to take them out if im going to sand them..

My tinting cost me $180, he's in blacktown, I'll pm you the details tomorrow..(cash only) ;) lol
And as for the seal, if you never need to undo it again use selleys all clear :) it works wonders

700 for 2.5 inch catback???! Ouch, thats a major rip off!! Mine was installed for around the $250 mark and he did it in my driveway :D
Edit: oh and escaping fate sorry I didn't get a chance today to find the card for the tinting guy, but I'll grab it inthe next few days and I'll send you the details :D

Nah never heard of haks, got mine done by mcgraths mobile exhaust... If you look back a couple pages in the "what did you do on your car today" thread, you will see the photos of it literally being done in my driveway :) and if you don't want to go with him, Windsor exhaust are also pretty good and should be around the $300 mark I think :D

EscapingFate, I did the tinting on GroundZero tinting at blacktown on my lancer last year. I think it cost $250 or $300. But also depends on how dark you wanna go for.

Do you currently have any tinting on your car ATM?? Because if you do itl be more to take it off... And I'll try to find the business card today
Although the Fto aus member dre90 did hook me up with the price, but I don't imagine itl too much more...

haha, turns out it was ground zero that I went to! haha, maybe call them up, tell them its an FTO and ask how much? I got 20% done and it looks awesome. And maybe tell them a mate got it from them for his FTO for $180 and see what they say. They may do it for around $200? (depends how dark i think)
