I picked up my 240 on May 21 and as of today she is ready to be my daily driver. I used my time with 2 cars to get some things done to her. Here are some pics of what has been done and before and after shots. First off I picked up and intake off E-Bay, it came with everything (all i really wanted was the polished piping) ![http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_9_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_9_full.jpg) Then fixed some bubbling rust on my a-pillar (i believe that is what it is called) I do not have a pic of it so here ia a Paint Shop edit BEFORE ![http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_12_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_12_full.jpg) AFTER ![http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_2_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_2_full.jpg) When i got the “a-pillar” fixed I had them sand the top and paint it black aswell ![http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_1_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_1_full.jpg) Then i got the windows tinted. BEFORE tinting and black top ![http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_10_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_10_full.jpg) AFTER tinting and black top ![http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_6_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_6_full.jpg) Next i needed to get the brakes done so i got my hands on brand new Brembo X-drilled rotors all around, “performance” pads in the rear, and cermics pads up front for 330, can’t go wrong… ![http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_7_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_7_full.jpg) Last night I pulled the stock radio and put in the deck I had in my neon **This pic belongs to Solarian, I did not get a chance to take a pic, but i have the exact same deck. Solarian let me know if you would like me to take it down** ![http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_11_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/528000-528999/528372_11_full.jpg) Let me know what you guys think Next i need to do my exhaust, but i am picky. I want to do 2.5" stainless steel catback but i want something super quiet… if anyone knows a place or person where i can get a catback like stated above please let me know. ---

I don’t mind you using the pic at all 🙂 The car looks nice, I’m a huge fan of the black roof on different base colour. If I had to change my car’s colour (all black atm), I’d do white with black roof and pillars, but your red looks very nice as well. Tints look great too, where’d you get them done and how much were they? I need tints real bad… ---

I got the tints done at Tint King in Mississauga, cost me $230 total but they are the UV/Scratch/bubble resistant, also they won’t discolour and have lifetime warranty. They are the A B C ones in the Tint King display. Front driver and pass. are A and rears are B. Don’t know the tint percentage ---

My car is red too and I was thinking of painting the roof black as well but I haven’t gotten around to it. For sure it looks nicer with the black roof. ---

Do they remove tints too? My rear window needs to be redone because the damn thing blurs EVERYTHING out the back window. Looking in my rear view mirror i cant tell another 240 from a fucking buick, all i see is 2 lights and a mass in the middle, every car looks like that. ---

Looking in my rear view mirror i cant tell another 240 from a freaking buick, all i see is 2 lights and a mass in the middle, every car looks like that. Yes they remove tints. They have shops all over the place. Click on this link for locations in Ontario [http://www.tintking.ca/location\_on.html](http://www.tintking.ca/location_on.html) Tints vary in pricing and quality form 100 up to 300 i think. PM me if you have any questions. ---

I have the same attitude lol… My car isn’t even fully repaired. I don’t believe in debt and credit, that’s all. But next paycheck I’ll hit that place up for tints. I definitely want quality on the car. ---

I tinted all the windows on the car myself Save your money for the turbo fund 😛 IT’s easy to peel off old tint as well. Soak the tint in pure ammonia in the sun (cover with a bag or something so it doesn’t just evaporate). The glue will dissolve and you can just carefully slowly peel it off with nothing left behind. ---
