    sir, gaano kalaki yung text pag pina etch yung plate number? sa lens ba mismo? baka kasi mapitik pa rin ng mga hoodlum pag di pansin e. di naman nila siguro ikakabit uli for sure yung lens pag nakitang may plate number. twice na akong nakuhanan e. kahit peke na kinabit ko, pinatos pa rin e. takot akong i-glue e. baka mapwersa, mas mahal ang gastos.

    Apart from the etching, make sure you park in a well lit area. Some thieves will take the side mirror without looking whether there's etching or not, or they can't see it because it's dark.

    Happened to me. Kinuha rin yung etched side mirrors ko. Siguro nung umaga na lang niya nakita. Hehe di na rin niya mabebenta yun.

    I think the Araneta area is known for that. I Was living in the area when my side mirrors got swiped twice maybe at dawn or late at night.

    ung sa padlock ok lang pag naka park ka. kasi talagang mas mainit sa mata pag walang driver e. saka hindi ka naman makikita kaya ayos lang kung makitang may padlock kotse mo. hehehe. tapos di tanggal na lang ung cage pag byabyahe ka na. hehehe. problema mo na lang pag may pumitik habang nasa trapik ka.

    i am still living in araneta so my old car's mirror hasn't been replaced since it was stolen 3-4 times na even with a security guard outside our gate. The only way to stop these practice is to kill the market for these stolen goods. I thought fencing stolen goods was a crime. Eh, most of the bangketa shops with side mirrors and wheel caps are stolen if they are not being sold as brand new.

    I think he used 40pt. font based from MS Word. Yes, sa ibabaw ng mirror ang etched side.

    etched mirrors look best... wag mo na lang tanggalin sa side mirror housing pag nagpagawa ka...sa akin kasi nabasag ko nung ibinalik ko dahil mas gusto ko mapadali yung trabaho ni mang francis...ayun napadoble gastos pa tuloy ako...tatakpan niya naman yung side ng kotse mo bago siya magsimula ng proseso....
