if its placed on a kancil, would the thieves care? i'd say they just throw away the etched windows and steal someone elses windows as a replacement.

Unless the owner loves his Kancil soo much he would do such thing. But i recon this kit won;t be popular here if it cost the same to get sandblasted at shops. I remember a lot of cars during the 90s' did this. But its not that popular now.

If you are a thief, and there're 2 same cars side by side. One with the RM15 steering lock, RM0.50 window etching, stock flimsy gear lock, while the other car is without any visible precaution. Which will you choose to steal? I'd definately go for the one that give me less problem. But again, I dont think these theft prevention products can STOP my car being stolen, but at least it can make the thief think twice. =)
