Thanks!

nope I belive Johnson Controls (JCI) still owns them and they hold close to %15 of the battery market share.

My older bro actualy works for them, and he used to get up to 2 free batteries/year but they stopped doing that almost a year ago

, otherwise i would have gotten u one.

Looks good Ali. I think the tint darkness was a good choice. I prefer a subtle tint. Where'd you end up getting it done?
