Hey bro, how much u did for the under carriage anti rust?

Sorry bro, i dunno yet, haven got my car.

i think my friend did it for $300 at C&C before his car collection.

Got use meh? My current car coming 4 years...nv do anti rust also like that... hehe

1) Change the emblems
2) tint the whole car (front is 75% the rest all 35%)
3) paint protection
4) Change rims
5) car plate
6) LED Interior Light
7) LED Door Scuff Plate
8) LED Tail Lamp (UFO Type)

wow.. u all like doing a lot of things!

stay stock..... stock is good.....

okie after reading thru, i decided i also need LED for cabin and bootim interested with the LED scuff plate too 

i wun overdo it as the koup is nice as it is. sometimes, the more u add, the worse (and tackier) it gets.

and might add more fuel to those who are unhappy with the koup....
stay stock.... stock is good.....

change rims to get better FC or to counter any FC lose when install sound proofing. i love music on the go relax.

I think a set of nice rims and a spoiler would be awesome on the koup
so far I did the tint, pps, undercarriage rust and sound clad. All thru Cnc lazy to go far2 anyways..the other 'make up' then I go outsource

things like rims spoiler decals alarm... Hmm oh n LEDs!

bro.
You got your shark fin done? Kind of cool.
What's the installation cost, reception.
You ever mention the shades are different,
how you fix it? The paint code that you use?

In Macwell.

95% of car use 35W power for headlight. So you got to choose a HID which is 35W then the plastic will not melt. Dun worry about the heat and power consumption as HID is much cooler and cosume less power. I guess you shld know all these. There is another version of HID which is 55W. Although it is ultra ultra super super bright, but my suggestion is not to buy those type. In long run, it will melt ur casing, wiring etc. Normally, nowsaday, workshop dun bring in much 55W HID cos no demand. Hope I answer your question.

Enjoy your mod.

Same power does not equate to same output temperature.

Same power does not equate to same output temperature.

Power = Temp if other parameter (environment, humidity, pressure, type of material, Time) is kept constant/same. A watt is the power which in one second gives rise to an energy of 1 joule. A joules of energy is tranform into heat as energy cannot be destroy. Think of a hotplate/oven with 1000W.

For HID using 35 watt compared to normal Halogen bulb using 35W, the material use is diff. Xenon vs Tungsten filament filled with an inert gas. Xenon bulbs produce its light when a current of electricity is run in an arc pattern between two electrodes (Anode and Cathode). There is not a need to heat up to a certain temp as compare to tungsten filaments in halogen light bulbs which produces light only when they are heated up to certain degrees Celsius. This mean that it will be cooler to use HID of 35W compare to Halogen bulb of 35W. Note that this principle does not apply to 55W HID.

I stated my theory and it's up to individual to believe.

Bro stan..pm-ed u the info

tats wat i meant in the theory of HID as it use diff material, otherwise, power is equal to temp for normal situation.

Okies.
