I'm guessing the writer took a break in between writing those 2 paragraphs and continued in a different state of mind

How about this?
And this....508 SW GT

Pay all the down payment yesterday and have chat with my SA. Take CS 85 tint from Ray Tech Thickness = 5.0 mil
VLT = 58, VLR = 12, UVR = 99, IRR = 85 (all in %) for RM1900
Is it good enough?

windscreen not safety type but the characteristic is same as above. He said if use the security one, the sight will be blur. 5 working day to get the car.

Mine is also 5 mil thickness but from Wingard. The price for Wingard 5 mil is cheaper than their 4 mil so I go for 5 mil. SA said maybe they're having a promotion or clearing old stock. With RM300 voucher, I end up spending around RM1000. Ray Tech seems to be more establish brand, might be the reason why its more expensive.

Anyone have done Sierraglow coating before? Plan to do the coating once car received.

Was suggested llumar by my SA for around 2k plus. Mine still pending at JPJ for registration and stuff. Not sure when can get car

Sounds good. Go for it. I've paid $2k after $400 discount. This includes security protection 5mil all round, 2 mil on front window. Apparently more than 2 mil will blurr vision.
Finally I got my tendered number. Registration will start now,should be getting car next week.

Why next week? Cannot register today the tendered number?Suppose can get tomorrow the car right?

I have on my ex-white 308THP. The service provided is top notch and the shine is definitely there in the 1 1/2 years owning it. However, do note that the turbocharged engine gets pretty hot after some driving & once water evaporates from the bonnet, you will encounter watermarks. Leave those marks alone long enough, it'll be very difficult to remove unless you do polishing/compounding.

P.S: got the maintenance schedule & costing sheet already. Will update very soon

Well it's a long story bro. I was tendering for an out of state number. If unsuccessful my 2nd choice was Wilaiah. Due to my uncertainty NAZA could not complete in house paper work. They apparently need 2 working days to complete their paperwork to produce necessary doc's. That means today and Monday. Then it's sent to JPJ,in my case out of state,for registration. The whole process I guess will take another week
Suddenly my wife's Myvi has become so very boring to drive......hehehe!

Added on June 22, 2012, 8:49 amTks for this input bro kenso. I was thinking of Sierraglow. Since it's high maintenance, I'll drop it.

Oh,for car registration it took 2 working days? My tendered number also out state number and the expired date is on 29/06/2012. The SA promised me can send the document for my father go register the plat before that date.

To be fair, bro I must say the watermarks is inherent in ALL paint protection systems, regardless whether it's just plain old school KITT wax or sophisticated arm-and-leg-cost nano-whatever-ceramic coating. The whole point is, water WILL stay on the bonnet, just a question of whether it's small beads or large sleets of it and the bonnet WILL be hot and the water WILL evaporate. As it does, the contaminants on those water beads/sleets will remain on the car and etch a mark. Only solution is to park it unexposed to the elements or find ways to keep the car dry as much as possible which is not feasible.

For its cost, I'd say Sierraglow is worth getting if you're not a DIY person and can't polish as often as once in 3-4 months. A quick wash at least once a week would do your car good

I think yours can be done as you already have the number. NAZA's in house documentation will be done already by now,just waiting for the car only. Since your father will help in the registration process, you probably will get everything done on time. Even if the car is delayed, your number is still valid for 3 months after the 29th. 3 months later you can also ask for an extension form JPj, if for any reason. FYI, my wife's car got registered 1 year after we got the tendered number!

What do you mean by high maintenance? I thought it's just one time coating and you just need to wash it using natural PH car wash soap and no need for polishing/waxing.

SA will register my car today. If everything goes smooth, might able to collect my car tomorrow. If not, then have to wait next week.

According to bro kenso,due to high bonnet temperature with the turbo models, some polishing/compounding is necessary. You may not encounter this with the NA.
Waaaaah you also will get your car before me la......hehehe......enjoy!

Added on June 22, 2012, 11:41 amBro kenso, is it a good idea to install heat insulators under the bonnet? Or will this be a hindrance towards heat dispersemeant?

both variant come with OEM heat insulator under the hood
which for 1.6T, additional alluminium protection is given...

Bro sbd,as you are the 1st one to collect the 408 in this forum group,we are eagerly waiting for your reports. I think you are enjoying it so much, that you forgot about us.......hehehe!

Thats good info

And dun forget that you need to renew road tax and insurance, new rubber etc that's not mention in there if you time it wrongly, you will be short of 6 to 7k easily (incl major service)
The perils of car ownership

Bro Kenso, so this table is applicable for both 1.6 and 2.0? Found this maintenance comparison table in Forte thread, but it seems that the cost for 308 is cheaper than 408. I was thinking that it should be around the same or only slightly more. But now it seems that it is so much more..
