Checking in here from Clevelands East suburbs, we absolutely need to arrange some ohio meets this year!

Question if anyone is familiar with the NEO aroc chapter?? @red4life5 @AlfaOhio

I just subscribed to the Ohio Valley Alfa Romeo Owners Club. I think it is one of the three Chapters in Ohio. This one meets in the Greater Cincinnati area. Next meeting is on 2/14/2022 and I will get some info and updates then.

First time the Bengals have gone since I was 12—seriously thought I’d never see them go again in my lifetime. Unbelievable. Five former 2015 Buckeyes on this team too.

Crazy if it’s the 49’ers again and if their (49’ers) starting QB goes out in the game due to an injury and a future legend and HOF’er takes over to beat the Bengals—cuz, that could never happen 3 times, right? Right?? Haha

This time, we're winning it. I actually hope that it is the 49ers and not the Rams, to make it much more dramatic. Again, I want to propose McPherson for President !!!!!

Super Bowl only 5 days away!

Quick question — looking for a shop in the area that can do:

• PPF
• Debadging chrome / Rebadging with my Nero
• Slight touch up painting
• Tint
• Removal of OEM front and rear logo badging and replace with OEM GTAm badging
• Ceramic coating
• Epoxy work and installation of some CF bits
• Removal of my fiberglass wing from the Ti Sport and replace with CF wing
• Installation of a Madness Lusso exhaust on the Ti Sport

My dealer had a contact at a shop in Dublin, but the shop is super busy. Esoteric would likely be very expensive—any other ideas? This would be work on al three of the Alfas.

I could do some of this myself; but figured I’d leave it to a pro.

Who Dey!

@614 - Performance Auto Spa in Plain City is my go to for tint and detailing work.

 

[Giuliano]

@614, I am not a good source for that kind of information as I have never done any of those changes. Things are getting crazy here in Cincinnati for this coming Sunday. If you have an extra used Bengals cap that you want to get rid of, you can sell it this week for 10X what you paid. Who Dey !!!!. Forza Bengals !!!!

I've heard all good things about esoteric, but I'd imagine you're right they probably aren't the most cost effective option.

Same for Performance auto spa, not sure how they are on price but I know people who use them and are always happy with the results

Performance's prices are more reasonable than Esoteric, and the quality of work is top notch. I used them to tint the windows on my current Giulia, my previous car (a Kia Stinger), and my wife's Volvo V90CC. Couldn't be happier.

I had my PPF done at Columbus Car Audio on Morse Rd. They do tint as well. Mine turned out perfect and was affordable. Let me know if you’d like to see in person.

I've had good experiences with PPF done by Eastside Auto Spa in Cincinnati, and I always get tint from Solar Tint as they're the best place to get 3M Crystalline in my experience.

Is it just me or is it getting to be time to start talking about an OH get together???

 

[ColumbusGiulia]

I’ll be there in spirit! Was in the Columbus area until we relocated to the Venice, FL gulf coast late 2019. Few Alfas down here and mostly Stelvios. My 2018 Giulia TI Sport is a rarity and even the local dealer doesn’t recall ever having a Q4 there. BTW, my Giulia much prefers the warm sunny FL winters over central OH’s gray and icy winters…

Count me in. Someone will need to propose a location and a time. I was suggesting September at the annual Italian Gathering Event in Dublin, OH but, we may need one gathering in Spring and one in Summer, too !!!

Yes, absolutely at the italian gathering we will need to make a group appearance!

In the mean time I agree that a spring and summer get together would be ideal, anyone in the Columbus area that can recommend a place??

 

[DJM]

If any NEO members are interested I'm planning on going, would love to say hi and see some friendly Giulias!

A few pics from some of us Afisti at Columbus Cars and Coffee this morning—need to get a meet together soon, bring Cincy, Columbus, Cleveland and everywhere in between together!

Last minute decision for me as the weather wasn’t great; but glad I went! @AlfaJohn, I need to get in touch with you for the next one too—and also will enlist a couple of folks to drive up the rest of the Alfa’s up

Monte Carlo Blue, Anodized Blue and Ocra GT represented today! First for me seeing these specs in person—stunning!

I had the opportunity to meet a few great people that belong to this community as well!

 

[Giuliano]

Let's make it happen. To get a meet together soon, bring Cincy, Columbus, Cleveland and everywhere in between together!

 

[DJM]

Let's make it happen! I was hoping to do a Hocking Hills run here soon, would anyone be interested in something like that??
