In Burlington for the weekend, anywhere in Florence you'd recommend for tint?

If anyone is wanting to cruise to Import Alliance this coming weekend sat 7/19

Meeting up prior to driving to Import Alliance at the Kentucky Speedway. If last year is an indicator of what to expect there will be some long lines to get in, so the plan is to meet early at the Macy’s parking lot in the Florence Mall (5000 Mall Rd, Florence, KY 41042) then drive about 30 minutes south west to the Speedway. We will be leaving the Mall no later than 7:15.

(Copying from my intro from the 'larger' forum...specifically for here - I live in the West Chester area. I'll keep my eye on this thread and what y'all are up to!)

Hi Everyone! I'm the proud new owner of a 2015 BRZ Series.Blue! For the past 8 years, we became a Hyundai family, but when it came time to get my "Empty-Nester / Semi-Mid-Life Crisis" FUN car, I scoured the internet, researching 'affordable sports coupes', and every 'expert' list I encountered always had the BRZ/FRS near the top. Then, when I saw the announcement for the 2015 BRZ Series.Blue (and the accompanying photos), I just HAD to see one. I learned a local dealer was getting one, I pestered a salesman to let me know when it arrived, and drug my wife along to see it. Knowing it wouldn't last long, and with my wife's blessing (of course!), I drove it home that day. LOVE it so far (500 miles in). I had to re-educate myself on the nuances of driving a manual again, but it was like falling off a bike and it all came roaring back to me.
I'll find the proper thread eventually in here, but wanted to throw out my chief desire here in my initial forum message - my car came with summer performance tires, so for the first time in all my years of owning cars, I'm gonna have to figure out how to go about getting winter tires, so any and all advice will be greatly appreciated, including specific tire manufacturer recos, should I go ahead and get a separate set of rims, etc.

Thanks in advance! Thrilled to be here!

[addendum...not able to copy my original photo over...I'll work on it!]

DanDubyah · 07-31-2014, 05:16 PM

Did that do it?

YES!

Nice! I love that blue color it looks sweet. I am relatively new to the forums as well, I just got my FR-S about a month ago I put about 1k miles on it since then so still breaking it in. I'm from the Dayton area so not too far away from West Chester. Congrats on your new car!!

And thanks to you! We'll have to keep an eye out for each other...my in-laws live in Springboro, so I'm doing the relatively short drive between West Chester & Dayton occasionally...

kosoku · 08-02-2014, 09:36 AM

nice! I've yet to see one in person (blue series that is). Congrats! Hopefully a meet is in the near future!

Congrats! Looks great! Maybe I'll see you around the area.

Thanks to all! Really excited to have a 'fun' car for the first time, honestly, in my life. I have a lot to learn and really appreciate everyone's input.
