Wad kind of material they provide for u? Outer? Or inner+outer=whole car?? Tis u must ask them clearly.. I think wont be so exp.. Last time i painted my car(outside layer rm1.2k+- .. With crystal texture feel.. If u wan can PM me for more details.. Original black is 2K paint.. U can change to any other 2K color u like w/o extra charge than u spray back the current 2K black color.. U even can add something so called "crystal texture" into the 2K paint make it more shinning under sunlight/light.. Jz like cyrstal paint.. Hard to explain here.. And more important is good quality of finishing coat make ur paint last longer wink.gif

the converters can be easily found in any accessories shop right? they should know how to fix and install it?
*
yea, audio shops have them.. Its plug and play, but if the ports aren' t the same, you need to look for the converter.. Does yours comes with converter when you bought? Where you got it from? I got a bluetooth player for my Vios from one of the forumer and his unit comes with converter, so its an easy job for me..
while as if you got a disassmebled unit from another car, you most probably need the converter

driving behaviour is the key factor.

in terms of logic, wider tyres provide more traction; hence more drag, meaning less efficiency and finally higher FC.

however, wider tyres gives you more grip; hence better confidence in whacking corners.

this is just my point of view.

Go for 14" 175/65R14 Mybi saiz Cibaistone Blitz 1800. FC guding, moderate grip on both wet/dry. Above 36psi the best FC, but sked the car will fly. Usually I rather stick to 32 front 30 rear flex.gif City drive arnd 400km/full tank. Full haiwei cruise constant 90kph arnd 600km/tank. 08 dugong E spek btw flex.gif
