Let's talk about sidemirrors

[OTEP]

Yung power folding side mirrors hindi naman lock yun. Yung sa Sentra ni kapatid pwede pa din i-force open. Ilag lang ang mga thieves dun kasi yung ibang alarm sensitive sa pag-snap open ng side mirror housings (when the thieves unfold it).

Yup, have the plate number etched to deter theft. Mga 300/pair ang etching.

Ang mga snap-on fender lamps (e.g. Civic) ninanakaw na din ngayon. Pati ata front clearance lamp ng Crosswind madali kunin.

Glass etch would be a good deterent against those thieves. I even had my center caps etched with it. Next thing I might do is have the tail lights etched. Ang mahal ng orig, it costs 3700 a piece.

If you could pull out your existing side mirrors without cracking it, BlackMagic has a friend who can do the laser etching for you.

But if you don't want to take the risk of pulling it out, sand etching can be done without disassembling the mirrors. Luckily, I have shared the number of Mang Francis to some tsikoteers who have claimed of his etching service. +639193689377

Or another side mirror etching service is also offered to members of former Philippine Motorists Association... the current name just slipped of my mind.

another solution is to park in a secured area.

Its Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP) along Aurora Blvd. in Sta. Mesa, near Broadway Centrum, IIRC.

I had my side mirrors etched at Bigbert's detailing. effecitive syia I must say. When my sister was using my CR_V with the etched side mirrors nakapark sa espana side streets di ninakaw sidemirrors.

nung pinark nya rav4 dun wala glass etch ayun tinangay yung side mirrors.


Although may napost nung isang member ng HCP nanagpaetch din ng sidemirrors may nagattempt nakawin sidemirrors nya pero nung nakita may etch ayun iniwan sa side ng road lapit sa kotse binasag pa. nagalit yata yung magnanakaw naisahan sya

magkano etching sa bigberts? sidemirrors lang?

[carloi]

Ano ride mo bro? Recently, nabasag ang side mirror ng GSR ng kapatid ko. He went to banawe at binebentahan sya ng Japan surplus for 750. Pumunta sya sa Eldorado sa Megamall, nakabili sya ng original na bago for 700 lang.

Mukhang maganda nga magpa etch ng side mirror at mga bintana. Ano pa ba pwede pa etch? Mags, pwede din ba?

Afaik, most etching services are 300-450 pair. Mga windows ng sasakyan pwede, I doubt it kung tatablan ng sand at etching compound yung mag wheels.
