Linus Clutched July 18, 2005 Share July 18, 2005 wow.. u got a long list there. depends on ur preference and budget. some think tyres are impt and trade in for bigger ones on the 1st day. there is no written rules as to wat to change 1st. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remygenn Neutral Newbie July 18, 2005 Share July 18, 2005 IMO... 1. get the customised mat to protect the original mats. 2. tinting 3. tyres 4. polishing the rest can wait till ur done with ur run-ins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mzrmazda3 6th Gear July 18, 2005 Share July 18, 2005 (edited) Congrats to you for having a new ride IMHO, as the weather nowdays is no good, always raining hence i would recommend you to do up the Glare first then after to do up your tinting Adding a strut bar is good and i got mine from Yap Bros which is at Paya Ubi For filter & sparkplugs, maybe you can change it after running in for 1000Km Edited July 18, 2005 by Mzrmazda3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiming 1st Gear July 18, 2005 Share July 18, 2005 Just saw it at Stamford Tyres Lok Yang (Tuas) branch but not certain if the model Khimwoon is looking for is available there. Khimwoon, best to call them before going down :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiming 1st Gear July 18, 2005 Share July 18, 2005 I agree...with the way the weather is behaving these few weeks, I would say do up your sealant first to protect the paint from water spots. Tinting can always be done later since the weather is rather cool now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khimwoon Neutral Newbie July 18, 2005 Author Share July 18, 2005 agreed with u guys... now a day weather really horrible... think i do up the glare package first... the tinting i thinking maybe skipping it... seen review on how the film coming loose etc etc... instead think i jus install a set of sun shade instead... see when wallet fatter then consider installing tinting... i very please with the sunny manual power... so much better compared to the auto version... think the filter and sparkplug will change after the oem worn out... so left the strut bar...

Bro, It's ur choice. But some gentle words: Do not be misled that doing Pro PPS like Glare or Toughseal will reduce watermarks. The sealent which such companies use are almost the same, better or worse than what u can get off the shelves n do urself. A key thing to know with these pro PPS companies is there's no such thing as 18mths warranty. Some even further state it can last 5 years. Impossible. They say u can have 18 mths warranty with regular 'car spa'. Again, then that's not really 18 mths warranty. If i were u, it doesn't matter whether I glare or tint first. Timing has no real advantage. Depends on how much u willing to spend at first. $400 plus for PPS or $600? for tinting? hehe.. enjoy ur ride Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khimwoon Neutral Newbie July 18, 2005 Author Share July 18, 2005 initially i'm reluctant to do pps also... but during the car-nival there a 288 package... so i tot its no harm trying... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear July 18, 2005 Share July 18, 2005 Just take it that with $300 for a GLARE package, you'll have a nicely detailed car for 18 months. Do as as early as possible to avoid wearing to the paint work from the elements. If you do not want PPS, then at least but a good layer of wax/sealant. Don't leave it bare. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
