hi Jinyee, which carreefour branch u go?

Subang Parade.

Thanks, btw, u got any msn messenger?

Hmm...I don't use msn messenger.

Anyhow, when are you getting your car?

Probably on Saturday, coz need to prepare the bankdraft for the downpayment and wed only scheduled to choose my car plate no. , after that they also need bout 1-2 days to tinted the windows and install the spoiler for me

terence4ever... Wat tint and spoiler u choose??? Wat is the budget, where u install and brand???

Hi emperor^10, I tint vkool elite, and for the rear spoiler, see the attachment. I dont like the duck tail type spoiler, coz look not so cool (no offense, juz my personal opinion)

The spoiler RM550 (including the installation and paint work), my SA told me is a Mugen but i'm not sure yet, come with 5 years warranty (maybe outside is more cheaper, but the warranty period maybe shorter). Whereas the vkool is RM1800, so the total is RM2350. All the tint job and spoiler installation is in the Honda showroom.

Which showroom do you book your car from? Hmm, you can issue cheque for the downpayment what. You have to pay for service charges for bank draft FYI.

Okie, perhaps we shall organize an outting with all the citizen over this forum. I shall ask my younger brother to join along. He has also bought a new city.


Jinyee

Hahahaha, I no have cheque book and this is y I need to buy the bankdraft to pay the downpayment


Good ideal, support!

terence4ever, u should have tint and buy the spoiler outside ... not under SA ... espensive a bit 1 ...

I have the same opinion too...

But I reckon to get most of the things that were recommended by the SA because eventually he/she knew thing better than us. Though it might be a bit expensive ( I presume the different is marginal ), then I do not think its a problem rather than taking the risk to here and there which may cause you major damage in the future.

To me, I rather let Honda to tint my car rather than saving a few hundred bucks by letting the outside dealer to install for me. Anyhow, its really subjective on this issue. The respondent should decide by themselves wisely.


Jinyee

This is also what I thought too

Walau, jinyee & terence got a pact going or wat???
hehehe...

guys, hold ur horses...
IMHO, (and it's only my 2 cents worth, coupled with some self-confessions from my SA frens...) it's kinda true that if we just let them deal with the car overall & just wanna get it with all the stuff attached, i.e.: spoiler, tint, skirtings, etc... nothing can beat the feeling of having ur brand new car all beefed-up & ready to "roll out"...

However, as legend has it (no offence to any1) is that of course the additions will be charged slightly higher than market price, coz our SA frens still gotta make a cut, ma...
Quality could be an issue as well.
If we are not careful, sometimes, i mean, really, sometimes, we may be duped into believing that the stuff they install for us is actually worth that much...

Let me quote an example...
And this is my honest sharing, so please, don't get offended, anyone, ok???

I have this buddy who recently bought a Camry, u know la... how pricey... the SA (Toyota) also mentioned that he could do up the tinting.
My buddy at first rejected, but after kena persuaded with words like, "ur car, brand new, with all things attached oredi, no need to worry bout bringing it in to any other place to touch up anything anymore, no more hassles, bla bla bla..." so he gave in.
Knowing very well another mutual buddy of ours has a tinting shop (not VKOOL but another reputable & steady brand), he still went along with the SA's offer for the Top-of-the-line VKOOL, paid extra RM1,200.00 instead of the usual RM1,700.00 (or something)...
But after this brand-new Camry Owner brought his car to show us at one of our TT Sessions, we found out that the tint was done in our mutual buddy's tint-shop after all...
Some more, he kena potong...
The price is only about RM800.00!!!
Furthermore, our tinting buddy still has the original receipt he gave to the SA bearing the Camry's car number!!!
Imagine, RM400 into the SA's pocket...all with just a VKOOL sticker at the back windscreen... kanasai...
So, guys, beware...
That's why they call it "ownership"...
If u allow others to call the shots, u only own the bank repayments, not the vehicle...
Cheers, to my 2 cents worth...
