3M tints are the best machan

Correction 3M tint WAS the best. Carmart now offers Lumar tints. Lumar is a subsidary of Dupont USA, and if you read online reviews Lumar scores higher than 3M. As a matter of fact 3M pruchases their materials from Lumar!

Hey Madmax!

How are these Lumar tints eh? is it costlier than the 3M tints? Frankly I am not at all impressed with my tint installation done by KP and there are small bubbles visible and now its peeling a bit too.. bring it to their notice and they blame it on the car or else somebody "purposely" scratching it off.. the guarantee specifically mentions though that it covers the peeling and scratching of the tint but hell, i learnt my lesson lol..

How is lumar?

@ DCL - Neon lights would just spoil the looks man, may i suggest? Go HID headlights, looks good and you benefit by having better visibility. Downsides it is a bit costly.

Product wise it has better ratings than 3M from online reviews. Carmart quoted 17K for a complete tint on an large SUV. However I think the final result depends on the technician's talent when applying. I wanted to go check out a specimen from Carmart but never found the time yet.

On the topic of Avanza, what is the actual fuel consumption? I searched the previous posts on the Avanza but there was no mention. I'm considering one for the permit. (second permit that is ;) )

Also I got to know from Toyota Lanka prices have gone up. DCL what was the price you got?

The thing is guys I got this Quatation from toyota lanka 2 months back the break down is as below,(For the Permit)

CIF - 9650$ =9650 x 113.50=Rs.1095275/=

Est.Duty(47.66%) = Rs.505911.00

Local Charges Inclusive Vat =Rs.143750.00

Total =Rs.1744936.00

I think This prices will be change from the Next budget. Heard that government is going to increase the taxes for the vehicles. Can some one confirm the % of increment?

bro HID head lights are very expensive ones a famous car modifying garage quoted me nearly 35K for this and that was nearly 2 years back...i dont think that spending 35K on head lights would be a very good idea..you may spend that money on something which is more useful. my advice for you is to use more powerful bulbs like PIAA.that would do the needful at a lower cost.

@ DCL - Motorkade me think currently holds a Japanese brand around the price range of 20-30k. This is the cost of the entire kit inclusive of two bulbs and HID is a whole new system which uses a ballast to power up the bulbs. So I guess there might be an installation cost. I suppose Motorkade might do it free? not sure about that though.

Else as Gearhead says you could opt for PIAA bulbs.. superb quality stuff but unfortunately seldomly found (in my hunts). HID vs normal headlight I would say HID is far more cooler but that depends on your budget buddy.

Could anyone enlighten me as to whether the installation of the HID system alone would provide the vehicle with those two tone lights (meaning that the lights change when viewed at a close range and far) or is it the lenses of the crystal lights that reflects the light beam in a way that it divides a single beam into varying colours?

i dont mean to be a wet-blanket, but the mods you mentioned are gonna give a big blow when it comes to resale value of the vehicle... i really dont think there's a very high market for modifief MPVs. A friend said that even the CR42 is hard to sell after it's 'kitted' sometimes... if you find someone with your exact taste in kits and is in the market to buy a Avanza at the exact time you're selling you'll be able to make the money you spent on the mods.. but you might nto always be so lucky.... (just my opinion)

Oon a curious note, what do the rest of you guys think of the market for modified MPVs?
