Anyone know a place to get a window regulator fixed around ATL?

I'm OTP NE near Buford with a 997.2 C2 Cab.

Car has a bad rear passenger window motor (or regular, or track, or something).

I've been meaning to fix it but having trouble finding time to do the work so I'm going to punt and take it someplace.

I usually use Ultra Performance in Winder for repairs I can't do myself but it can be tough to get on their schedule during racing season.

Any suggestions?

Best auto paint and window service?

I have a couple vehicles that need window tint, 1 that needs paint correction and PPF, and 1 that needs a window regulator repaired.

While price is always a consideration, I'm not looking for budget options; I'm looking for quality work from a shop that will stand behind it.

I've been burned on window tint a couple times with people doing crappy jobs or lying about using 3M ceramic tint.

Every time I've had a car ceramic coated, it's been a poor job or the "established shop" disappears in 6 months when I need a touch-up.

Who's had a great experience? I'm so tired of feeling ripped off.

Best coilovers/dampers for 997.2 C2 on street?

"Daily" driver 2010 C2 Cab is going to need a suspension refresh soon.

Originally I was going to go with the Ohlins Road & Track Coilover Kit but most of the reviews I've read say it's too harsh for regular road use and it's really more suited to the track.

I did the Bilstein kit when I had a 987 Cayman and it was "fine" but now seems expensive for what you get.

Recently looking at the Rennline Sport+ kit and the reviews seem great and it has a ton of features
It is so much cheaper that I have to ask if it's too good to be true, though

While I do drive the car kind of hard and spend a lot of time in the mountains, most of the time I'm just running up the highway to the office. I don't mind a stiff ride but I'm not trying to build a race car.

Anyone use the Rennline kit?
Should I just do the Bilsteins again?
Is there another kit I should check out?

Sometimes they are actually trying to kill you

I've been a near-daily rider for a little over a decade and, for the past 2 years, I've been commuting across the north end highways around the perimeter for work.

I've encountered my share of inattentive, aggressive, or even road-raging drivers and usually don't have much of a problem navigating those situations. I'm usually pretty chill in traffic and don't have any more problems on the bike than I have in car; which is almost none.

Yesterday was different. Yesterday a driver in an all-black BMW x6 literally tried to wreck me and then continued to chase me almost 20 miles up the highway.

It started at spaghetti junction where they nearly rear-ended me trying to get into the exit lane. They were being super aggressive and I ended up flipping them off - and that was a poor choice on my part. Immediately after they tried to get beside me and push or knock me into the wall.
I made a sketchy pass around a couple of vehicles in front of me, merged onto the highway, got into the peachpass lane, and left them behind in traffic - or so I thought.

A few exits up I saw them cutting up through traffic until they were nearly behind me again. I didn't wait around to see what they were going to do when they caught up.

Once again I figured I'd lost them in the traffic and that would be the end of it; but I guess they were very determined. 10-15 miles up I saw them trying to catch up again. I'd honestly be surprised if they didn't hit anyone else while they were chasing me. They were definitely pushing that SUV about as hard as it would go.

I have never ridden that hard in traffic before but I wasn't about to let them get close.

Not sure why I'm really writing this other than to vent. Stay safe out there.

It will come with a short warranty and I have the right to refuse delivery. The Carfax shows pretty regular service but lacks detail.

It's not my first BMW and I'm very used to German car maintenance but I'd appreciate any pointers on what to check and where, specifically, to look for signs of impending trouble
