Full respray with colour change is $900? Use tamiya spray ah? You never factor in boss kit for your moomoo, that's another 100-150.

maybe JB? thats  RM2.7k

I would spend the $3K on a top overhaul.

Wish it was so easy to fix the ICE on post 2000s Conti cars.

First thing I will do I think is to thoroughly disinfect the interior of the car. LoL...

Grey area lah. Many cars at this time featured Takata airbags that hid shurikens in the inflators that could unexpectedly go off.

I think some cannot just be replaced with an aftermarket headunit. But audio makers come up with add-on units to let car owners "upgrade" the headunit and allow some flexibility.

I know alot of pple itchy once they got their car.. 

For me I will not do anything for first few months.. at least 3 months.. as I could got a lemon or problematic car.. so any "investment" may go to waste..

For COE car I more concern on the reliability and would spend on maintenance and replacement of wear and tear..

Yeah! That's a good piece of advice! I also never do anything straight away when I brought the car. I drive around to "understand" better then evaluate the things I wanna improve one. 🙂
