As for the button, treat it as an accessory. Just for fun. I always has a thing for the start button, a lot of guys on this forum thinks it's silly, but, like I've said, treat it like any accessories like the strakes or rotary crests.

The BOSS told me all in about 8K+. However, he may increase the labour coz he said the damn side skirts already took 3 hours to install.....measurements already 50% of that time...

Can anyone advise what would be a reasaonble for the whole setup? (Including the spray painting of the rear if it comes in CF)
Also, any good workshop to recommend? (good workmanship and honest price)
With every msg I post in here, I can feel I'm inching nearer and nearer to the car. It's pretty exciting

Cheers Mate!
I don't think I need the bodykit that badly that I'll pay by installment (even if it's interest free), I think that's a little too extravagant.

Have had a great experience from EZ Import who sold me the kit at 50% discount, comes fully sprayed from japan. Skirts do have a problem keeping in contact with the car so had to rebond again at TCL. Saw the other bro's RX there with the full MS kit..tit grey with tan interior . nice!

Consumption is acceptable for a sports car. I'm averaging between 7 to 7.5 km per litre (mainly city driving). Just don't ever expect to see the fuel consumption of a normal 1.3 litre car. :D

Thanks M-ster. But is it safe???
Me had to jam brake on a rainy day on AYE; DSC lit up; me stopped in time - after RX slithered (like a snake). 2 cars in front & 3 cars behind didn't make it...
Was it the DSC that saved me from a spin?

I guess you've got to bear in mind that turning off of the DSC is purely for a fuel saving tip. So, make sure you drive with more carefully when you turn off. And if you decided to drive a little faster or during raining days, you might wanna leave it back on.

Leave your DSC on for normal driving and definitely during wet days. I don't feel that it makes much difference in terms of fuel consumption.
Fuel saving tips...drive slower! Make sure you change up at abt 3000 rpm, don't do full throttle starts, maintain constant speed at 90kmh along expressways etc etc etc... in other words, don't have so much fun when driving the car! :D
