For the V plate, according to the runner, he said should be 15th July start tender process, so by normal practice will be closed at 30th July, earliest to get the car plate is on early of August.

Regarding the tint, if you are doing in a shop like Tint Auto for Llumar, they are authorized dealer so they won't use cheap tint. Normally the situation is the SA or whoever took your car over didn't mentioned correctly. Such as Diamond 6, did they mention what will put in the rear mirror? And you cannot placed 6 sides with Diamond 6 which is security tint, normally have one side you need to leave it without security so when something bad happened still can break in and save you.

Price isn't really determine is good tint onot, suggest you bring your car to tint yourself if you are worried. So far i have been used Llumar Diamond 8(now they revert to 6mil instead of 8mil), VKool Elite, 3M cystaline, ecotint xxx(forgot), among these all seem VKool is really good even though rejection is only 73% visible light, but it performed better.

Is this the same color as the other models e.g City?

Yes. Modern Steel is a strange color. It can look great on some models and bland on some models. After weeks of observation I think I've figured out this color..

1) Has to be on cars with lots of chrome bits to look good
2) Needs dark tints
3) Looks best on polished wheels instead of painted silver and best on the Civic turbo wheels
4) Needs to be clean/waxed to shine and display it's beauty else it will be dull.

It looks good on the City, CRV and Accord, not so much on the HRV and Jazz (less chrome and more black trims) in my opinion. For the Civic, I think on 1.8 spec, it looks a little dull, and best to go with TC-P for Modern steel due to the added chrome door handles.

I went with the Modulo Door Visors as well as it maintains the top chrome window trims to match the color.

My 2nd choice was Dark Ruby Red Pearl, which looks great on the Civic and close up. MSM looks better from a distance vs. Ruby Red.

Another bummer for you, once JPJ announce the result mid Aug, you still need to pay the balance 50% tender amount and JPJ will take another week or two to process.

Bro, I understand you are getting your car from Honda Roda BB, Jalan Imbi, KL.

This is some insider info for you. The tint which they claim is Llumar Diamond 6 is not actually that. Certain sales ppl at this Honda dealer pakat with the tinting shop. They install a much lower grade of tint but put the Llumar sticker. No way you can get Diamond 6 for only RM1,800.

Also double check the 'terms & conditions' of that RM500 discount from your SA.

This dealership has got many bad reviews e.g customers getting cheated, original car accessories removed & replaced, promises made and not kept, etc.

Make sure you get everything in black & white. Never trust anything verbal from them. If he promises you Llumar Diamond 6 at RM1,800 ask him to take u to the Llumar shop and you ask them directly in front of him. Make sure they give you the original Llumar 10 years warranty slip. It must be from llumar and not from the shop.

Diamond 6 at least 2600 + 6% GST, that the price i got, i rejected the deal straight away!

My own car was Sophisto Grey which is quite close to this Modern Steel color. Maybe a bit darker. But yes, the car needs to be kept clean all the time and shiny. The moment the car is dirty, the paint looks dull and the car looks aged.

Luckily for me I have the Regal Valet car spa for only RM60 per month unlimited. I usually wash my car twice a week to maintain the look.

Wasn't my choice of color but didn't have much choice end of last year since the better colors were taken. But this will be the last time I get grey for sure. Ive always liked silver as it really stands out in the day time plus has a certain color tint/hue at night making it look sleek.

My first choice is Red too. However SA said need to wait pretty long for this color, ask me to take black instead. He said long waiting list for White and Red. Only Silver, Steel and Black can get car on July. Now, I can't even get car plate number too due to V plate so long waiting.

I tendered for my WD...A plate on 3 May 2016 which was the last day of tender for that series.

I was notified I was successful on 2 June 2016.

Car registered the week after that.

So you need to allow 4-5 weeks from the closing date of the tender to get your no plate if ure successful.

Even if you go with VLT 70% front and VLT 50% driver front side windows, it will fail JPJ/Puspakom test as the original glass has some tint on it.

My experience is, as long as JPJ stopped me, I show him Llumar or Vkool sticker, they will let go.

After tinted is hard to see, when they tint can see clearly. You can try to check the transparency. Actually you can ask them what they tinted on the Windscreen, normally security tint for 4 sides and rear, for front they use something else which is non security but good head rejection.
