Plenty of cambered ricers in Thailand but thais are proper car freaks, many of them with the know how to drive seriously fast (not much my cup of tea but one need to know that a bit of camber can help on a track).
Khmer being somehow the opposite I think they would be the SEA "Jacky" type (google jacky + car) hence the big Lexus stickers and handle blue stickers...
Edit: does anyone know of a garage with proper laser alignment equipment that know what they are doing and understand about wheel alignment + toe + camber ?

I was in a sticker shop yesterday near orussey with my niece. She was getting something done on her moto.
They had 2 cars come in to be laminated - 190$ to get the SUV covered in clear plastic.
Then a white highlander came in and asked them to change the colour to black. I thought I had misheard - but I sat and watched as they started to peel off the plastic already on the car (which wasn't obvious at all) to reveal a gold colour. The shop owner told me that this guy changes the colour of his car every 6-8 months.

I hate the tone of those kind of Daily articles. Look how backwards and uncouth the natives are with their fashions and politics.gavinmac wrote:The Cambodia Daily has done a hard hitting expose on this topic:

The irony is that the article was probably written by some twenty something Bernie supporting tool with a hipster beard and a cafe racer motorbike who identifies himself as a pot plant.

I've seen some up close and they are pretty badly done. From a distance they look OK.
pew, pew, pew, pew!

The owner said he only recommends that they use it for one year then get it done again.
I guess there could well be issues with vehicles which are left in sunlight and wrapping left on for a long time.
It certainly covers over any superficial blemishes. Was thinking of taking the wife in to see if they could wrap her.

Blue stickers aside, the CAIF really discredits itself with these types of unfactual comments. Some grey market importers avoid the 10% VAT, but not custom duties and other taxes. They have very valid concerns about grey imported vehicles in general, but Brongers, as prez, always adds a scoop of BS to go with it. What ever happened to that Samesamebutbetter FB page they started?
