Nate Neutral Newbie August 10, 2004 Share August 10, 2004 just got myself new lancer and the SE offered free rike cool. heard that LTA release new rules, windows and screen @ passenger seat can be 75% rike cool while the front screen & windows maintain @ 25%. Heard that it'll be more cooling but from external view it seems very odd and beng to have different colour tones leh! what u guys think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitevo8 Neutral Newbie August 10, 2004 Share August 10, 2004 where got beng. looks cool and classy mah. beng is like when the car's hvg many colourful 'stickers' with big big wordings etc... or odd shape bodykits that doesn't match the car outfit.

Lightspeed Clutched August 10, 2004 Share August 10, 2004 If it's beng to you, then you can tint same VLT all round Just because LTA allows 70% and 25%, doesn't mean you have to follow exactly Can do 70% all round or 25% all round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghunk Neutral Newbie August 10, 2004 Author Share August 10, 2004 i was worried about that too.....but at the end of the day, not sure if rikecool will have maximum vlt allowable by LTA. I was asked to top up $450 for my new ride for the premium rikecool but so far from the website i cannot find the different gradings available. do you know what grading is available for rikecool??? which is the one that the SE is giving you? kinda worried the SE is taking me for a ride coz he claims that he is footing the other $450 --> making the rikecool to be worth $900.

Nate Neutral Newbie August 11, 2004 Share August 11, 2004 got differnet grading one meh? i dunno leh. i was too happy to know SE is willing to do rikecool for free... so never check on the grading issue. understand from others rike cool cost abt $600 for lancer. unless yr car is MPV, then will cost more.

The_ed Neutral Newbie August 11, 2004 Share August 11, 2004 Hi, Was looking at Rikecool as well, and according to the Malaysia web site, there seems to be three grades for the rear. http://www.rikecool.com/products.html Did you find out which one is offered here? Or something else... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghunk Neutral Newbie August 11, 2004 Author Share August 11, 2004 how much are they quoting for the one and only grade of rikecool?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lufu 1st Gear August 11, 2004 Share August 11, 2004 seen a lot of complaint on their poor workmanship / service, and it was given free, so no choice. http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/mb/messag...906.22&search=y http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/mb/messag...13906.1&maxT=13 http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/mb/messag...13906.1&maxT=11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toalson 1st Gear August 12, 2004 Share August 12, 2004 Hi guys, When I was at their workshop, they mentioned that in S'pore they only have one type of film available. (Any changes now, not sure) As for the price not very sure as well cos I got it free oso. Did however see from the invoice, was charged $900. Mine is a small car. Yup the workmanship is not very good , but the purpose of heat rejection not too bad, not tried other brands so find it good enough, unless u park more than 2hrs. Up to now, still see small bubbles at some of my panels. But fortunately 10 years warrenty, now V-cool oso 10 years. If u not concern of how good, I would advice just stick to the so call normal film and dont top up since that's wat the agent offer, unless of course u have plenty $$$ to spent then go and do it urself later. Remember must get the certificate and must mail back to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghunk Neutral Newbie August 12, 2004 Author Share August 12, 2004 after reading all the negative commments, think will ask the SE to forget about the rikecool. Either i push him to do mind up in v-cool or i will get other freebies eg aluminium sports pedals and send the car for tinting myself later, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certified Clutched August 25, 2004 Share August 25, 2004 Mantaone, do you have any problems with Rikecool, such as different tone on different windows ? Do they cut along the ICU unit ? Wat's your comments after you have used it ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantaone Neutral Newbie August 25, 2004 Share August 25, 2004 They will take out the ICU unit before installing the film I am onie using 25% front 55% back, front & back the tone difference is not that great Front mirror they will install a 6mm tinted film on the top so far under hot sun in the afternoon not bad seriously it also depends on your tolerence level, initialy have bubble after a week it went off cause i park in open air carpark Certified have u installed yours yet if not dont go for Rikecool it is too ex for retail going at $900 i went thru my SE.
