I'm not sure if he even still has any... it's my only piece of carbon fiber. He was selling them quite a while ago. No harm in PMing to ask though... haha. Here's a peek:



I didn't really expect this to be so overwhelmingly in favor of tint though. I was under the impression that a LOT of people on here actually had a SGII... well, not a lot. But there were a LOT of search results on it here.

save up more and get both!... but imo, i would get tint first, only cuz since my car is still new and i don't think ill be needing engine codes or any data monitoring anytime soon. but if you feel that ur car might give you some trouble or u would like to keep track of your mpg (for going on a trip, etc.) then go for the SGII

I've got both. If you're choosing one & lived in Florida it'd be a no-brainer - TINT!!

But since you're in New York I'd go with the ScanGuage. I don't use the trip meter but do use it to entertain myself at red lights by watching the IAT skyrocket (I have a CAI). :D And of course it's right there to read codes if I get a CEL.

But the coolest thing about the SG is you can use it in other cars. I can hook it up to my beater car to check CEL's or the battery voltage if I haven't driven it for a while. Your friends can also use it to check their CEL codes.

And as for your next car - with tint, it's gone when you sell or trade your car; the SG gets "recycled" into your new ride.

Tint now, SGII later. The tint will have an easier time adhering when installed while it's hot and sunny. The SGII doesn't care what the weather is like.

scangauge would be nice. When you have issues, you can troubleshoot quite a bit right there. Granted, I have a pc based obd2 diagnostic tool I use, but the scangauge would be nice.

But ack... I would a lot of rags and goo gone.. I know you have to have plenty of cone scars to remove I am going to be at a huge car show with our autosports club on the 8th, and I have a good amount of cone scar to rub off the rocker panels I think about 3 events worth

Ya, I'm pretty sure the place around me wont even install at all if it's below a certain temp outside. Usually early spring or late fall though I'm sure.

I don't know. We'll see in the next week or so I guess.

Haha... I have a trunk full of microfibre. Probably 25 towels or so. I might be OK there. I don't hit too many cones though - but ya, I know that means I'm usually not pushing it hard enough, so I gotta work on that.

I could even save up and get tires. Though I'm thinking I'll just burn up my KDWs this year and get some Azenis in the spring or maybe some RE01Rs. I have some all seasons for winter too.

Grr... too many things to get.

the scanguage is cool, but you could always just check your gas milage every time you get gas (its free) but that's just my opinion

Add another vote for tint, scan would be cool and all but after a certain point It would lose its excitement I think. However with tint your always enjoying it (even when you don't know it lol)
