The carpet companies that "don't charge" extra for removing and disposing of the old carpet ARE charging you! They simply add it into the price of the carpet! Nothing is ever "free". Call the carpet company and get an estimate. Then tell them that you will pull out all of the old carpet and dispose of it yourself. Ask them for a revised estimate with you doing this! Guess what? Since they will save hours of labor and disposal fees, the estimate will be lower. Probably much lower! IMAGINE THAT! |

Hi! I'm thinking of buying a new 2010 honda civic LX and I got some quotes for dealers. The best quote I got was $17000 (includes destination and documentation fees) . The tax, tag and title will cost around $650 to 700. I think the price is fair. Anyone bought 2010 LX recently? I'm also thinking of adding fog lights and window tinting. The dealer quote for fog lights is $681, which I think is too overpriced. I checked the honda website and the price of fog lights is only $325. Does anyone know what's the average market price for installing fog lights ? I'm thinking of counter offer the dealer with $18000 for the total final cost with the accessories and taxes. Also, does anyone know what is the cost for warranty? Thank you so much. |

I'm no fan of window tinting and it is rarely done in our area so I have no idea. I do know the quality can really vary. |

Replying to: canlfc (Nov 07, 2009 6:11 pm) The best source (in my opinion) is to talk to someone who had it done in your area and is happy about it or go to some high priced brand dealership in your area (Lexus/Mercedes/BMW) talk to their service manager and ask them where they send their cars to have it done. Most dealers farm this out to an independent window tinting company. Word of mouth is the best source!

Have had tint on most of my cars with the lightest tint and it's been great with our heat is in South Florida. No problem with night vision at all, but I always get the lightest tint they have. Even my wife & daughter got the same tint and not a bad thing to say...so it must be easily driveable at night. The Sandman

I am a huge fan of tinting car windows. Just had our new Civic sedan tinted with top of the line tint and lifetime replacement warranty for under $200. It is so hot and bright in Florida that it helps. I always get tint as dark as the law will allow and have never had a problem with the police or night vision. Tint businesses are liable if they tint darker than law allows. No tint on windows makes me feel like I am in a fish bowl.

Replying to: gammagator (Nov 08, 2009 3:39 pm) Maybe if I lived in a hot climate I would want tint but not here. If wqe take in a used car with tint we remove it (not easy). They just don't sell with tint. I'm sure in hot parts of the country this isn't the case. And tint definatly reduces night vision! How can it not?
