    If I have to shell out to 35K for paint coating, then nevermind ;) That is just too much.

    Probably, yes. I can live with manually picking up my EC Tag, opening the window, and swaying it outside until the sensor detects it if I need to. Are there any advantages of going with metallic/reflective/magic tints though?

    I pay around 450 for the waxing of my FXT using that longer-lasting wax from my suki carwash. I pay 400 for my Fiesta.

    Had the wrap-around tint (medium for all windows, but light for the front windshield). So far, so good. RFID doesn't work effectively through it, though.
    Yep, Motor Image uses Solar Gard. It's better than the free 3M tint offered by Honda on their new cars.

    For the RFID on my FXT, they placed one on the headlight and another one on the top middle portion of the windshield.

    When you say "they placed one on the headlight and another one on the too middle portion of the windshield", do you mean the tint installers were the one who put the RFID tags with cutouts?

    The tints were installed on the day when I took delivery of my FXT from Subaru BGC. The RFID personnel were the ones who placed the RFID tags on the vehicles.

    What kind of RFID's are these? And what shade of tint did you go for?

    It's the RFID for SLEX/Skyway/NAIAX. I don't have the EasyTrip for NLEX/SCTEX.

    I use the medium shade for my tints on my rides. I forgot the specific Solar Gard code they used on my FXT. My Fiesta comes with Platinum tints. also medium shade.

    Since your ride is new, take the time to dust and wipe off the engine bay once a week. It goes a long way in keeping it clean.

    Naku wag na kayo palagay ng rust proofing.. dirt magnet lang yan... spent 500 pesos for a bottle of goo gone to remove that black tar in my fortuner... shunga kasi SA sabi ko wag na lagyan..

    Enjoy your brand new car muna.. later na yung upgrades! Mas enjoy yung unti unti ang upgrade! Pero unahin mo bumile ng magandang floor mats!
    Dont use air fresheners din

    Tapos buy ka ng bottle jack sa Ace.. hehe joke lang yan.

    What kinds of shade is recommended for cars? I read something like light shades for front and rear windshield, medium for driver and passenger side windows, and dark for the two rear windows. Is that a wise decision? Hindi naman magmumukhang hindi pantay pantay?

    Also, are mirror-like (quantum magic series) recommended over the standard graphite super black series?
