New guy here, got my Elise - LotusTalk

Snowphun · 08-17-2009, 04:40 AM

Hi all, it took a while but I finally picked up a 2007 Elise last week. I had a deposit to buy a 2005 Elise back in 2004 but chickened out at the last minute, so this purchase has been a long time coming. I've already had it in for warranty service up in Waltham as the trunk lock broke the first day, and I've got a bit of grind sometimes in third, otherwise it is a lot of fun.

Next up is a Clearbra/Star Shield install, does anyone have any suggestions in the Boston area? I used Solar Solutions last year for my wife's car so I'm planning to go back there unless someone else is highly recommended.

Thanks, looking forward to some meets.

Congratulations. Welcome to the club.

Keith (SweetDaddyD) here can get you a really nice clear cover for the entire front of his car. I saw it while at LOG and it looked great. If I was going to replace mine, that is the way I would go.

Congrats,

I think autobanhd does a lot of local cars through the dealer in Waltham, although Keith's setup sounds great if that route works for you.
