Near the end of May, I need to have a decision between these 2 options...
buy a new PC
-which would help me produce, cuz I'm currently limited by my crud PC
-would speed up my computer use and lessen the hours I spend in from of it
-make me feel good & geeky
OR
buy a tint-job for my car
-would make my black Mazda Protege look super shexy
-would be excellent for the coming hot summer months
-would make me feel good, shexy and cool (temperature-cool as well)
Your vote is greatly appreciated.
If you know of a better way to spend the ~$600-$700 CDN, do post it up!
Since when is tint 700$? I had it done a couple of years ago, for like 250-300 tops. Get the tint, it'll pay off in the summer time.

Don't tint.
It can bubble, turn purple, brings undue attention to your car, doesn't make it any cooler (temperature wise) cost more money than it should.
I am so much happier that on my Acura I did not tint the windows, and after working in a detail shop that did tints, I have realised that skill and good craftsmanship are crucial to getting a good tint; two skills most tinter's don't have.

I can get a lifetime warranty super-quality metallic-film tint for under $200.... the thing is, I'd prolly grab an order of rust-proofing or detailing as well.

the guy that did my tint at tint king was very good. he did good cutting and good application. no bubbles. discolouration is caused by crappy tint but they use good shit. another good place is f/x in markham.
