Karu 6th Gear May 3, 2016 Share May 3, 2016 Hi Bro Karu, I'm using Groovy shades on my Civic now which is similar product. I'm intending to get the shades again when my Xtrail comes. Laser is using magnets, groovy using clips to secure the shade. I'm thinking whether the magnets can last (retain magnetic strength) in the long run. Of cos on the flip side, magnet shades are easier to take up and down compared to clips. I saw Taobao having similar shades also at ard $150 sgd. Not sure about the quality though. How's the installation? Clips are stick on? Do u have quote?Don't think magnet will lose strength unless u hit them or drop off. Laser shades cost $250 for 7 pcs. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocy Hypersonic May 3, 2016 Share May 3, 2016 Anybody using laser shades? Thinking of getting one set. Will be useful especially for those with black interior like mine. The solar film dun seem to help very much when you park in the open.Heat in SG really super hot. I think no solar film can do a better job. Hope more will share their experience for a solution like shades and etc. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karu 6th Gear May 3, 2016 Share May 3, 2016 Another question... Anyone used extra tinted solar film for the moon roof? Think it'll get rid of more heat by minimizing the 'greenhouse effect'. How much juz to do the moon roof? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much juz to do the moon roof?Extra tinted, doesn't mean extra heat rejection. I think depends on individual brand and model effectiveness, I took white but now regretted... hard to maintain... Bluish grey and the copper is nice Bro RK2010, did u do ceramic coating? Some say white easier to maintain after you do that. I'm going for grey. Safe, boring choice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karu 6th Gear May 3, 2016 Share May 3, 2016 (edited) Extra tinted, doesn't mean extra heat rejection. I think depends on individual brand and model effectiveness, Yup I meant heat rejection. Think free solar film provided by tc did not include the moon roof, also my bad to miss that out before I committed . Any of u guys got them to apply film on the moon roof? I took white but now regretted... hard to maintain... Bluish grey and the copper is nice White xt sure looks better... But maintenance is difficult w the visible water marks. Easiest would be silver or grey. My blue grey also dirties quite easily. I took white but now regretted... hard to maintain... Bluish grey and the copper is nice White xt sure looks better...

Baal Supersonic May 4, 2016 Share May 4, 2016 The activation of the rear wheels to make it AWD only kicks in when it senses that the front wheels are losing traction right? So meaning to say, in SG, if not driven hard, its effectively 95% FWD? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
