Did you have 18x9.5 all the way around? I was thinking 18x8.5 +42 offset in the front and 9.5 +40 offset in the rear. Thanks!

Good taste.

Hot lava was also my very very close second after whiteout.

When I think of the GT86, I think of hot lava.

Just tell us the phone number of the window tint shop and we can call them.

"Hello I would like to make an appointment. "
"Ok what time?"
"Can you tell me where your store is?"
"XXXXX"
"Oh....what's the name?"
"XXXX"
"FXXK, YOU ARE THE ONE!!! Iv heard that................................... OMG I am going to somewhere else."

Haha, I guess we both have similar taste. I originally wanted Whiteout but got Hot Lava instead.

Yes, it's 18x9.5 all around so it's a square set up. I'm running +40 offset and 235/35 rubber.

Is it 235 or 255? I looked at your signature and it said 255. I'm so confused right now.

I can't believe they did that to your beautiful orange paint and then denied it like cowards. That is inexcusable.

I know. The guy who tinted my windows was nervous and he told me that his "knees were shaking". Sounds like he did it but doesn't want to get fired from his job. Good news though, my car should be done by today or tomorrow . I'm going to take a good look around before I leave the repair shop.

Man, that's completely ridiculous what they did to your car. Glad it's getting fixed though and will be back to its original glory. As for the hot lava, obviously I love it since I have the same color monogram series, but everyone I told I was getting that color thought I was crazy. Now that they've seen it though, they all think it looks incredible. Such a nice and unique color. It really looks different in every type of lighting. If you ever come to Vegas though, hit me up and we can roll up and down the Strip!

I need to get mine tinted. I'd blow a lid if they did that to my car.

I'm going to make the installer to a pre and post walk thru with me.

Hope you get it fixed!

I know right? I was pissed about it when I saw it. It's getting repaired right now and hopefully getting it today. A few people didn't like my car but slowly grew on them and started liking it. I will if I'm in Las Vegas. Also here is some info I got from FiRStsc10n about the monogram series. Were in the 5%.

--Firestorm, 20%
--Argento, 20%
--Ultramarine, 5%
--Hot Lava, 5%
--Asphalt, 5%

Therefore like a 100 Hot Lava's if this holds true.

Well at least you know where not to go for a tint. I heard the specialists was good. I need them to replace the front strip because the tint has a scratch and the back tint isn't flushed with the window. I'm going to take pictures before my car gets worked on and after and have them do a walk around. I learned my lesson from this. Hopefully it gets done by today if the part comes in for the window. They called me yesterday saying they have to replace a seal on my window.
