We also have a gen 1 CRV in the family. Yes it's nice that it has 2 airbags, but it lacks a more important feature for me - ABS.

Airbags will save you should you hit a wall. ABS will save you from hitting that wall.

Yes, those safety features you mentioned are needed. I'll just warn my brother about it as he is the one using it regularly.

I just can't ditch that CR-V...

Eventually you will have to sell it ...

I just saw a speed hatchback version of this color, with dark alloy R18 stock wheels. I just kept looking at the car, the Tit Flash (titanium flash) with dark allow wheels is just awesome!

It seems that this color is available only for the speed hatchback.

Preferably Pranaque, Las Pinas, Cavite area sana. Pero okay na rin sa Makati or QC.

You can take a look at this. I haven't availed of their services. However, I fully trust the recommendation of these guys who quoted these.

I got a deep scratch on my car that I'm having second thoughts about claiming it through insurance (10,000 participation fee) because I'd like to see first Technical Details. At the moment, I used a marker to hide the "white lines".

This is the exact model I saw this morning on my way to Technical Details for a ceramic coating session. It's machine gray and not titanium flash:

I know! The conduction sticker of the unit I saw this morning starts with O0 (oh zero) which means it was recently bought.

Took only less than 6 hours due to absence of swirls and scratches on the paint. They did notice though that the paint thickness was thinner than expected on certain areas on the hood and roof. It's likely that the car was detailed already at the casa. The car was garaged for almost a month at the casa due to the dec holiday season and delays with the LTO registration processing, got dirty a lot most likely.

How would they know the paint was thinner on the hood unless the topcoat was almost gone... Thru reflections?

They might have a thickness gauge, sir.

Is it practical/advisable to make the top coat thicker? Thinking of having mine applied for another layer of top coat for thicker protection from rotary polisher buffing.
