wa bro why ur car got TLC words de? not bad quite nice leh

btw, are there chances that they never provide me with touchup paint?

There were a handful of us who did this TLC sticker project thing once our webpage first came online and before the decals were made so the sticker with the website is still there, got one more on my windscreen.



I didn't get my touchup paint too when I bought my car 2+years ago. Went back to my SE to get it... Can always call your SE and ask. :devil2:

How much you got your side protector strips ? DIY ?  :smile:

Can't remember the exact price liao: it's spray-painted to body colour and cost $120+ (I think, need to go check my receipts). Got it installed at NHK (Turf city)

Can refer to this thread:

Can't expect a perfect fit in terms of colour of the strip to your car. It's fixed on with 3M double-sded tape, mine's been there for 2+ years with no problems so far :thumbsup: Can look for Carol, she also logs into this website too... 2 things to look out for when you install:

1. It takes them about 5 days-1 week to spray the strips so you would need at least 2 trips to get it fix up
2. There isn't a fix position to stick the strips so make sure the strips for the rear doors are not too front, or else opening the rear doors fully will get the strips caught between the gap and the front door. My first set had this problem and the paint from the strips came off. Went back to NHK and they gave me a new pair FOC :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
