Thanks, got the car fixed at Korva's. They did a decent job, colour match could have been a bit better but overall ok experience.

track day at VIMC

Ok, who wants to go to the island for a track day on September 30th? It's about $400, the track looks great. At the moment there isn't enough people signed up

It's just a regular track day. But they will only do it if 10 or more people sign up and right now there are only 3

Hey folks, couple of unrelated questions you can hopefully help with:

- Any well regarded PPF shops in the Fraser Valley? I've googled up a few that seem OK, but none have jumped out as an obvious choice.

- How well run are 888 racing track days? I see they have a few events at Area 27 the second half of the year, but wouldn't be keen on any events full of yobbos trying to get a race experience out of an HPDE.

Thanks!

Not out in the Fraser Valley but highly recommend http://www.phsolartint.com/. They do full PPF for many of the exotics in Vancouver along with the dealerships etc.

Can't answer your second question however.

Really happy I stumbled upon this thread! I am a Canadian (from TO) living in Texas. Planning on moving back to Canada in about 3 years, and have bought a place in Kelowna already. Excited to get back to Canada and live in the beautiful province of BC!!!

Toronto? Ah man you might as well be an American then We're getting a blast of Texas heat (minus the humidity) for the next week or so (as I'm home in BC at the moment not in Cali), so you'll be well prepared in a few years time!

Just to reply to myself:
- I ended up going with MonsterLabs out in Langley in one of the warehouses along the bypass and am well impressed. Did partial Xpel PPF and Xpel fusion plus ceramic on top. Friendly, helpful guys and would definitely recommend.

Anyone here living in or around Kelowna? That is the location we will most likely be in 2-3 years from now. Are there good driving roads around there? My M2C is arriving next week (Texas) and my plan if I love the car will be to bring it with me to BC.

Oliver is only 100km down south from Kelowna. This is where Area 27 race track is. You must take your M2C there. Not bad roads around there. Just that BC has very mean laws when it comes to speeding. If you're caught 40km over speed limit, in addition to fines, your car will be impounded for a number of weeks.
