On Saturday I got door visors installed for my Myvi. I actually didn't even know that the covers above the car windows were called door visors, until I needed them :P
The original price at Perodua was RM150, while this cost RM78.
The guy at the shop tried to sell me a number of other things (in roughly this order):
1. Something that would allow stepping on the brake to trigger door lock.
2. Tinting
When he saw that my car windows weren’t tinted, he asked, “You don’t want to do tinting?” I’m not sure whether he does general tinting for the whole car as well, but he just asked me whether I wanted to add a piece of tint on the top part of the windshield. When I asked, he said that it cost only RM20.
3. Armrest with storage space
I was confused about what this was, so he brought it out to show me. Turns out that it is a hollow box to be fitted on top of the hand-brake, with a box mounted on top of the hollow space, and the top of that box is a cushioned armrest that can be opened up to store items. I have seen cars with it before; I just never knew that it was simply placed on top of the hand-brake, no extra installation required. This one cost RM48. Having an extra storage space is good (though I'm not sure I would be willing to pay that price), but covering all but the handle of the hand-brake (and half of the handle too, when the hand-brake is pulled up) is not something that I like.
4. Carpets
I only have the original carpets from Perodua. He said that these carpets easily get dirty when there is rain (I believe him, it's happened before). But I'm not sure I want heavy carpets that are hard to take out of the car to clean. Anyway, I passed for now. (as I did everything else he recommended :P )
After getting the door visors, I came home to see a parcel on my porch. It was right in the middle, so I had to get out of my car to move it before I could drive in.
But the story of the parcel will be in another post!
