alan grice Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Im getting a new SUV. Has anyone actually purchased an Expensive Totally clear Window Film, and how much did they pay. Not interested in those ive seen displayed here with pics claiming to be clear, they are not imo. I only want it to keep UV Rays off the leather seats, i have Sun Glasses for Sunlight.

Kwasaki Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Just tell the dealer what front and side windscreen film you want on the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan grice Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Yes but im asking about brands known to members other than 3Ms. Thai dealers think your retarded if you dont want blackout curtains, or anything costing more than 50 setang .Im sort of guestemating around 12k at an independent dealer. And advice from someone who has it.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect There's no update for the crv for ages. We got a 40K discount+ honda help pay for a year (36K)+tint+ceramic coat, ect. Same car as yours. See what grade of tint that honda offers. When I got mine done I saw a HRV there. It had really dark tint, but is actually quite clear from the inside of the vehicle. They said it was a higher grade than the one I ordered. Or just select the tint you want for the other windows and ask them not to tint the front. You can then hunt around for the front tint.

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect I assume you test drove it. Yes it's twin turbo and 9 speed box. You won't get into 9th unless you are over 130 km/h though. I didn't try that yet. Petrol consumption is very good for its size. 19 to 20 km/l on the highway. I get about 14 to 15 km/l around nonthaburi where I live. That's mixed traffic plus getting in jams sometimes. There is a remap available for 10000 baht from Powerlab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Same as mine but I got the modern steel metallic. The one thing I don't like is that it is a little jerky changing between 1st and 2nd gear in stop and go traffic. But everything else seems fine so far. I wished they had a 5 seat diesel.

Touch screens on the latest cars, don't work if your moving. (That's even at 1 kph) Only operative when stationary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damrongsak Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 "... I only want it to keep UV Rays off the leather seats ..." I have a leather seat that has held up well for 65 years now. It doesn't get much in the way of UV rays since I keep my pants on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
