FYI, the while powder coating will chip off if you use a harsh sports rim cleaner spray like those Meguairs. For such sports rims, not advisable to use those sports rims cleaner type spray, they're too harsh for such rims especially if they were thinly coated.

eh - at least tell me where he got them la. biggrin.gif

and also, the blue savvy has white rims - does the white powder coat chip off easily? biggrin.gif

i'm thinking of changing to white Volks lookalike rims. i think it's JRD brand la. hehe.

Those boydykits can get from any shops la smile.gif ..the R3 replica sidekirts he bought from Penang Brothers, the front lips in seremban.

Heard a lof of bad stories about the JRD rims...the white rims are supposed to be better than the silver one dunno if true or not.

I dented my rim when driving over a pothole at hi speed once..absorber kong 3 weeks later , producing noise.. rim repaired..luckily nothing major on the other suspension parts.

The most expensive forged alloy rims can't even escape damage from the pothole...go for ori enkei if got the money, should be better than the OEM one smile.gif.

I drive mostly on b roads, travelled interstate using federal roads, can't really do much to avoid all types of potholes manholes you could find on those kind of roads... for a 11+ month car with 22k mileage which can be considered moderately used, I think it's pretty impressive for having only 1 dented rim one time as the stock rims are said to be inferior (the rim brand) blush.gif .

the best still are the steel rims you found on cars like Saga, like our family's 19 year old, till now not a single dent thumbup.gif .

QUOTE(Ripp87 @ Nov 18 2006, 07:06 PM)
how much to tint whole car? say, black color? any jpj approved version?

How much is v-kool? any other brand offers same quality but cheaper price? how much leh?

help. thanks.

forgot the most important thing.. for tinting if you care about the cooling effect most, get a tint with highest IRR (infra red rejection rate) in percentage..mine was around 60-70%...

me thinks zerokit not worth it.

RM 3.5k man for zerokit, rims and ecotint. and the sports RIM is not any different in appearance compared to the stock rims.

yeah. but after a while, i look at it without the kit the blue / black / grey looks quite ok

refer to Post #454

it's nice mah, but way cheaper.

get the parts individually and your own choice of RIMs then trade in your set of rims and do ecotint yourself (check out garage sale) still cheaper.

cos now AFAIK is RM 3k++ discount on Proton cars. so you can either look at it like giving the bodykit free, or you could look at it my way - get the stock unit RM 3k cheaper and use that money to spice up your car, end up it's still cheaper.

EDITED : oh another thing - the bodykit not on your car nmind - cos you won't see yourself driving it. biggrin.gif as long as everyone else put it then it's ok for you. haha.
