Hi Francis,

I don't know any shop in QC that installs tints. I'm from Marikina and I went all the way to Paco, Manila for my Vkool tint. That is their main branch. You may also check their branch in Nissan Gallery along C5 (near Eastwood) or the Ford Dealership in BGC (beside St.Lukes), which is owned by Autohub too. Autohub carries Vkool brand.

Hi Sir Turmsy,

You're so lucky you got free full tank! Hehe! Congrats on your new car!

The vkool clear series is very expensive! If you really want that, make sure to check out their promos. I believe they offer 50% discount on your birth month.

Sakin ganun din. Part of the system powerup sequence siguro ng ECU para ready to go na agad when you go in and start the car.

Yup, this...It's to signal the car to wake up.

The Scangauge lights up upon door unlock, too.

Has anyone here tried hardwiring a dash cam through the A-pillar? I'm thinking of buying this Quick & Easy Dash Cam Installation Kit but I've read sa mazd3revolution na pag ininstall yung wirings through the A-pillar, meron clip na mababali. So the only way you'll put back the A-pillar is buy a new A-pillar. I believe must-have yung dashcams and protection na rin kasi kaya lang nagaalangan ako sa A-pillar issue and pangit naman kung may wires sa gitna ng dash para magsource ng power sa lighter port.

May tip din dyan sa forum on how to remove the A-pillar without breaking anything. Doble ingat lang talaga lalo na sa 2.0 na may roof extra airbags.

Yup nabasa ko nga kaya lang natatakot ako magexperimento. Di mo naman din mairerequest sa casa na ipainstall yun. Simple lang sana kung removable yung A-pillar.

Mga bossing tanong po. May car alarm ba ang Mazda 3 natin. Well particularly 1.5 variant? Ahahaha.

Immobilizer meron. Alarm wala daw. Wag mag-iwan ng gamit sa loob. Itago sa trunk para iwas basag kotse.

Got my m3 wooo! Experience ko sobrang OC ko kanina sa heat rejection etc yun naman pala sobrang lamig ng aircon so i decided na ipa tint nalang sa casa to follow 3m. The handling was superb! Power? Compared to my fathers ford escape i dont feel underpowered. two thumbs up for this car .

Can anyone recommend a place where I can get good leather seat covers?

Also looking for all-weather mats. I like the Mazda rubber mats (from US) but they're not selling it here in PH.

I'll send you photos of Skywalker with relocated plate tomorrow sir travs ;)

Congrats sir! Welcome to the club ;) i also had 3M tint from the casa and I'm totally fine with it. Mabilis lumamig ac ko compared to my old ride which has darker tints. Siguro mag VKool nalang ako pag need nang ireplace but for those worried about heat etc, the 3M will do just fine. If it was trash, matagal ko nang pinakabitan ng vkool.

Majority here go to Seatmate. An alternative is Leather One Auto Seats. Check out their FB page. Unit ko yung M3 picture nila. Reason I chose them is they also make the rear center armrest/cupholder leather wrapped compared to Seatmate na nakazipper. Although I'm not sure if Seatmate still does it that way or they wrap it nowadays.
For mats i have 3m Nomad-like mats I bought at True Value and had Leather 1 nicely made a vinyl loop on the edges and they cut it to fit the M3 perfectly.
As for OEM mats, they dont sell it here and thats what I would have wanted too. But the closest would be Louie Anson Ng's deep dish mats. Check their FB page Lamson Digital Electronics.

Sir did you get full windshield tint? I was told visor lang yung kasama sa free.

Tint My Ride sa West Ave. Sister company ng Tinthub yun, Vkool lang kinakabit nila. 2.5k lang ata ang K Series if windshield lang papalagay mo.

Anyway, grats to all new Mown3rs!!
