how expensive is the v-cool tint?

Pareho kong gusto yung color n yan... pero mas gusto ko Black. Badtrip lang, bluish silver nabili namin.. ermats ko kasi yun ang gusto! Ngayon nagiisip na ko tuloy magparepaint .

Pero kung makakapili pa ko, silver na lang, kasi di ko kaya pala magpacarwash lagi, wala na akong oras. Once a week ko na nga lang nacacarwash bluish silver ko.

1.8 ang kukunin mo diba?

If so, then Alabaster Silver is fine. Or probably Bluish silver or Habanero Red.

Pero not Black.

Get Black kung bibili ka ng 2.0 S-L (yung may paddle shifters sa manibela) as that top-of-the-line variant looks best with All-black color.

Downside nga lang is that black paint from HCPI has this "bird-poop" effect that makes it look nasty. Strange kasi Japan-made and Thai-made Black Civics don't suffer from it.

Pero since 1.8 ang kukunin, Alabaster silver is more recommended.

I have been seeing lots of Bluish silver mostly. So it was a bit unusual to chance upon a silver 1.8S, which actually looked outstanding, at least to me. IMO, the silver is the perfect color for this Civic.

Black is average for me and you also have to consider the high maintenance cost and effort in retaining its shine and luster while minimizing swirl marks from becoming apparent.

Silver gets my vote easy to maintain and does not absorb heat.

i have a black tsikot..hirap nga maintain, alikabok agad. but it does attract attention. tint is okay as long as light. black tint makes it look like a goon car, but then again, oks din if you like the bad look.

ill go with silver, more elegant look, but it does compromise sporty look a bit.

but overall, it is you to decide..whatever it is...i know you will make the great choice
