hahahha, that's why I said, fix other things, new things come out.

replace sensor, now my front bumper gap very big an uneven. knn

Haih... Those bumper clips are damn fragile. Pull a bit, there will be a dent to it. And also the brackets might be broken from the dismantling.
The best is to use a pry tool to slowly remove the clips from the bracket.

Hi if install spoiler will it void the warranty? Thinking to install RS spoiler
*
I don't think so? Spoiler is for aesthetic.
Just need to make sure the workmanship is good, to avoid any leakage from the drilled hole.
And proper wiring of the spoiler brake lights to the current brake lights wire.

Does any of owners here have ceramic coating done on their car and last for at least 2 years? Just want to know the current condition of your paint and also the coating as I'm still deciding if I wanna spend that kind of money for the coating, I will be using the car for at least 9 years.

Thanks!

Repaint after 4-5 years smile.gif I think this would be lesser headache.
Read from previous posts, even after coating, the owners have to be extra hardworking in maintaining the coat, and not to use any kind of car shampoo.

At times I envy those FL units, with all the cool features. But I guess the more features, the more headache.
Even some pre-FL have lingering issues.

quick question if i wanted to spray and paint the front part (ssorry dunno what issit called) which comes in chrome for tc 1.5 instead of the blackgloss for tcp 1.5 will it void my warranty if i got it sprayed to look like the front of the tcp ?
*
Some might say it will void the sensor's warranty. But it is merely aesthetic in my opinion.
You might wanna check with your SA before doing so. Or check out Shopee. They do sell the front grill cover. Just stick it with 3M tape.

we call it front grill.. got 3 option, change to black, wrap and use cover type..

i never know anyone spray those grill, most will wrap it to black.. i ask before around 120-150 depend on the wrap quality..

but now i use the cover type gloss black, just use double side tape and cover the whole chrome area.. if see closely still can see the chrome, but i'm ok with itĀ  biggrin.gif
below sample:

i dont' think will void any warranty, unless u claim for grill warranty if have tongue.gif

I wrapped my grill with matte black until it started to have bubbles around the H logo. Then I bought the glossy black cover to overlap it. Looks perfect biggrin.gif

why do u still cover it with teh cover once its wrapped already? wouldn't that defeat teh purpose of wrapping it if you could just cover it with teh black cover?
*
It's due to the bubble. Redoing the wrap takes time - unwrap and rewrap. So, instead of doing so, just get the cover to solve it once and for all. At least I don't see bits and pieces of the chrome haha

Mine is also a Pearl White TC and its perfect smile.gif. btw still pearl white meh? i thought now all changed to Platinum White already.

When u plugin Apple carplay i usually look at the screen for navigation. On the HUD, only the playing music eg spotify album photo can be displayed . Waze Navigation arrows wont be displayed on HUD unless you hacked your player.

Not sure if same applies to Android Auto since i dont have android phone to try.

I'm on Android and have been using Maps since the beginning. The HUD does display navigation from Maps. I'm not sure about Waze, though.

So ive check my RPM, it seems when you on D mode and off the aircond, my rpm drop to 600 and causing my carseat to vibrate.

Just to check whether is normal to everyone or only me. if not i need to ask SC to check.

Thanks
*
In my opinion, there's no such thing as car seat vibration on idle. Definitely some fittings are not right on that seat. Just check with SC.

Will it leave those sticky residue when you decide to peel it off?
And any marks will be left on the car?

Is it worth to upgrade TC headlamp to LED? As for now, I'm good with just self-replacing the LED bulbs when it's out.
I have always fancied the LED headlamp though. But the fear of bumper gap getting bigger is stopping me from upgrading, as headlamp is wear and tear. And when you wanna claim warranty, the bumper will have to be dismantled again. Sakit hati tu...
At the end of the day, it is a want rather than a need hahaha.

To replace with original LED headlamp you will need to replace the wiring harness, and because of this if your HU is spoilt the warranty can be denied because you changed something on the wiring. But if you insist, just replace with the original headlamp before claiming any other electronic parts.

Tu la pasal. Wanna change but if were to claim any warranty, need to revert to stock. Like LPPL.
As the saying goes, "Kalau buat, jangan takut. Kalau takut, jangan buat". Hahaha

some picture for reference.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


the cut-off point is acceptable but isn't clean (some light bleeding on the top side causing slight glares) and the beam is angled towards the right (and not left) because the headlamps were manufactured in Taiwan (left hand drive). I think Eagle Eyes just imported them straight from the manufacturer without giving due consideration to all these factors.

the output isn't uniform as well with some "cold spots" (should be improper reflective coatings) so you see "patterns" on the road.

if you aren't bothered with all these and is OK with the price then it's a decent aftermarket headlamp.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


no doubt it is brighter than the stock halogens and the Ultinon Essential but i'm honest, not by a lot but then again, the Ultinon Essential costs around RM250 - RM280 brand new and can be retrofitted without removing the bumperĀ  smile.gif
*
Thanks for sharing some photos of EE's headlamp.
Yes, the output is somewhat unsatisfactory. Well, they say "Cheap not good. Good not cheap".
But that's fine. Just enjoy the ride with the cool and nice light upgrade smile.gif

Guess I'll just carry on with the projector headlamp.
Recently just replaced the low beam LED after 2.5 years of using the first set.
Bought the LEDs from AliExpress.

I everyday goes to work park under hot sun and rain, guess wont be good for coating too right? Or just go for ppf be better? I every week wash my car once or twice too, just many random scartch from no where and alot stone chips.

Any good suggestion for this?
*
How old is your car?
I also park my car under rain and hot sun. Unless at work.
I've been considering coating recently. But looking at the stone chips on my hood, I kinda let go the idea and will look into repainting the car after 5 years smile.gif

Looking at the other members' comment on coating, you gotta be extra hardworking in maintaining it once in a while.

Hello all, anyone using these type of plug and play exhaust from shopee? Care to share if there's any reliability issues? Thanks in advance

Why not install a proper tip at an exhaust shop? smile.gif
I did mine, didn't change the entire exhaust system, only cutting off the original tip, weld on an "s" pipe with a new set of exhaust tips.
Just sharing smile.gif

Since its just aesthetic I thought makes no difference whether its weld or pnp. I've checked with a few exhaust shop, they're asking about rm500 exclude the akra tips, if include the akra tips about 600-700 depending on the diameter which imo it's too expensive just for welding 2 piece of metal. I remember I got my previous inspira done the same thing only for less than 300, unfortunately they already close shop.

If price around 500 with the akra tips maybe still acceptable for me. How much you done yours?
*
I did mine for RM 600 back in 2018. It might be a bit pricey but I'm contented with the workmanship and the end result. Went back once to redo, though, without any charges. All good since.
Depends on the material you choose, I guess? So price differs.

And just like neuromancerx, I went to Yi Ekzos in Kuchai Lama.
