| ![]() There you go Arvi. Neat summary of the overall 3M work. Indeed enjoyed your company and also admired at your machine. and thanks for the collage work. Clearly portrays what connected and engaged us on that day. We stand united by TBHP. and reg. the work, 3M guys are just phenomenal and i believe the underbody work in your case will also be excellent. Did you also do a exterior and interior job that day.. I left by 2:30 pm and when did you leave the place? How long did it take before they handed over the beauty to you? I am planning to be there once in two months to do the basic 1000 rs work. I feel, for the time they spend and the workmanship they offer, its simply worth it. Happy motoring. |

@Arvi - It is surprising to know that they removed the door pads and window glasses to install the films. For my Linea, I insisted them not to open it and they agreed and did the filming without taking out the glasses. | |

Maybe I wasn't stern enough when I asked them to do the job without removing the door pads. But, their workmanship has been good and I haven't had any rattles or noises yet. I will wait for some more days before confirming that though. | |||||

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Thanks Ramesh & arvi. I will go there today as I need to get some 3m detailing stuff. Are you aware of what products they sell? I found their liquid wax to be much better than the other costly options. As for the sunfilm, i am looking for something basic and which offers maximum visibility with maximum heat rejection. Let me talk to Vinayakamurthy and update you guys. Btw, arvi - your civic is just awesome!! looks smashing. Just onething, in your previous post you had mentioned that you got the plastic panels painted. How did the Honda A** do it? how is the quality of the paint on plastics? |

Also, on the spoiler, I do have a question. Is it comparable with the OEM in terms of the quality? I have been wanting one for my Civic for the last two years but the price quoted by the H.A.S.S (20K) keeps me away. | |

The most recent quote that I got from Honda A.S.S for the boot spoiler was around 24K which is ridiculously expensive. That is when I decided I will wait and source one outside and never go with them. At last, after almost an year, it happened. Last edited by arvi86 : 10th April 2012 at 19:46. | |||||||

| ![]() I'm glad that you're back on track mate. There is nothing worse than being in bed for weeks & weeks. Just be carefull when you drive and don't hurt yourself as you drive a manual and both feet need to be in action while driving. A bit of patience would go a long way. Quote:
![]() Regarding Aux input, I fail to understand why it didn't occur to Honda to add this lifeline of a feature in its pre 2008 cars in Auss. Where as allmost all other car manufacturers had this feature added as a standard accross all models somewhere around 2003/2004 ![]() ![]() This thingymajic is called iTrip, costed me AUD$90 and drains power out of iphone/ipod if its not fed through a charger. So its optional to connect it to a charger (I bought a unversal charger with a USB socket anyway, it now feeds iTrip and charges other mobile phones when not connected to iTrip). This FM transmitter does the job pretty well and being wire free it can be controlled by any one in the car. I surely don't get very good quality out of it at rare occasions but then again I don't have fancy ICE to notice the difference anyway. Quote: So that you know how your car is gonna look after spoiler installation, here are two pics of mine.(I actually meant to tease you here haha) ![]() ![]() (At the risk of being slapped at the back of my head by mods but can I use that big grin smiley for about 3-4 times here, (pouty-lipped) pretty please..lol) Last edited by Punzabi : 11th April 2012 at 14:43. | ||

The dealership experience was quite bothersome this time as they were unusually busy over the past weekend. The spoiler was given last Thursday itself so that it could be painted and kept ready for installation before I bring the car in on Saturday. When I went there on Saturday morning, the work on the spoiler wasn't done yet and I was asked to come again in the afternoon. I obliged and finally, when I went there in the afternoon, I waited for close to 4 hours to get the car back. Apart from fitting the spoiler, only the wiper blades were changed and this took such a long time, despite me fixing up an appointment with them and visiting them thrice for the job. The paint quality in the spoiler is top-notch and it perfectly matches with the 'Bluish Silver' shade of the car. Here is a picture of the spoiler painted and dried, waiting to be installed in the car. ![]() The car, in turn, waiting at the dealership's garage for somebody to attend. ![]() Just like the paint quality, the installation is also great and leaves no room for complaint. Even the positioning of the rubber pads at the contact surface of the spoiler and boot is neatly done. Here are a couple of snaps of the car flaunting its new accessory. ![]() ![]() The total cost shelled out at the dealership was INR 3950 out of which 2500 is for painting and installation of the spoiler, a money well-spent in my opinion. What is your take, guys? | ||||
