yeah..i will never & ever add rm1k for their own tinting....will discuss with their manager tommorrow

bro, it's complicated, because it was verbal conversation between u and them in the 1st place, and it became a written complaint in a public portal like FB so i believe they have the rights to take legal action on defamation if u ask me. anyway u've since deleted their name so hopefully they won't be so hard on their stance la.

a lesson to all i guess, don't ever reveal names if we are commenting on something that can cause serious impact to other ppl. we can share all kinds of stories online but names should be anonymous. havta be extra cautious.... whistling.gif

Pls tell Shamsul it is imperative that he report this. Discussing on forums, etc. no point, nothing will change.

He can call on condition of anonymity to our Dealer Development head.

not sure how dealers operate, but branches will have an official booking s&p document, detailing the various prices, and an official booking number, and the official receipt contains this number, which is why the issuance may be delayed pending allocation, which seems centrally controlled........i suspect the branches operates the same way.........
*
was told that branches were allocated no more than 7 cars each. and dealers worse, probably not more than 5. the HQ controls stock, meaning if got branch no order, they will pull the allocated ones to other branches having good sales.

usually runner charge not more than 400. about 350 ~ 380. but its not recommended arr.. its your hard earn money.

if somebody is telling u that getting registration card and road tax within a day cost u 100+, and if dun pay will take 3 days, will u buy that idea? WTF....

question regarding plate no again: is it possible 2 get WTJ when WTH run ard 8000-9000?? i m planing 2 get the plate myself at JPJ nx week.. maybe on tuesday..
*
if i understand correctly, the JPJ website shows running number, which is the one where u don't pick number, runner help u submit at JPJ then key in system then tikam the next number that type (FOC). the next 1000 number is available to pick for 210. if want further from there, but within same alphabet, pay 310. for ur case, i think u can get WTJ when JPJ website shows WTH 9000+.

something read from chinese cari forum. on technologies used in car tinting film.
source: http://cforum5.cari.com.my/viewthread.php?...F4%C8%C8&page=1

Dyed Film - 50's to 60's. low cost film, still available in the market.

Metal Dry Sputtering - 70's tech. quality not stable.

Multi Layer Metal Dry Sputtering - 80's to 90's. used by some well known brand names in malaysia. takes longer time for GPS to log in.

Multi Layer Wet Coating - latest tech. metal free. stable quality.

brand names, still trying to find out cause the thread is kinda neutral and TS a bit hesitant to review brand names. rclxub.gif

I have some questions / doubts that need your helps. I tested the 1.6SX at Kia @ Crystal Point, Penang today. First half, I am the driver and my wife sat at the left side at the back as usual when I am doing test drive. Right after we left the showroom and hit the road, my wife started to ask, what is that noisy sound. she described that sound as like "Groong Groong" especially when the car gaining more speed. That is even with the radio is turned on at a volume. We off the radio and hearing some noise from the back.

*
i heard the noise too... but not too annoyed since attracted by the whole package. it sounds a bit hollow, right?

QUOTE(4te @ Dec 13 2009, 02:20 PM)

1. I have to pay RM150 runner fees to get the car inspected cos of AP reasons. Did you guys pay or ask to pay this runner fees? If none paid or is asked to pay for this fee, I will not pay this additional fees cos it should be included in the OTR price and will call up the careline tmr to report this.

2. My SA told me that my allocated unit is at Sri Hatamas (is there a warehouse/place to keep new units?) and my SA needs to go there and drive down all the way to Penang for me. I told him to send using trailer but he gave me excuses and said impossible. Is this a normal practice? or am I getting a showroom unit or worse a test drive unit? Anyone been to the Sri Hatamas branch, it there a showroom or test drive unit in Titanium Silver colour (1.6 SX)?
*
no. 1, same case as yours. i'm not planning to pay, but will ask my SA to settle with his runner.
no. 2, cannot be la bro, all the way to penang???

by the way, respect u guys la... so many pages for the naming part notworthy.gif
i prefer LYN FOG more... smile.gif

1. If you are using a runner, you will have to pay them (but no sure what's that charges like). In my case, I get my WTF number from JPJ myself, hence not incurring any cost on the runner.

it's not the runner charge for number... it's the charge to get it inspected... mad.gif
i also got the car registration number myself... oh well...

nice one dude... if taking cue from a few earlier posts, will it look nice if we put 'Rise' on the left bottom corner, and LYN - FOG (/FOC) on the right bottom corner? the whole thing would read rise - my forte - lyn fog / foc biggrin.gif

the future is here... is a bit long. no offense though icon_rolleyes.gif

guys, i need to know this too. i'm seriously clueless what's the problem with my car delivery.

i've settled my downpayment for nearly 2 weeks, and bought insurance since last week. JPJ number also i bought it myself, and yet my SA and the branch admin cannot tell me when i can get my car. to make things worse, they can't even tell me where it got stuck. one said it's sent for inspection, one said already inspected, pending for some document from custom.

i can't stand this nonsense anymore. icon_question.gif

by the way, the SA is not answering my call now. call 10 times, probably answered once vmad.gif

If Naza keep give their bad service i dun see future of Forte can go far with Naza

good for you bro... at least i didn't waste mr. choong's time and he still managed to get someone in for tomorrow's slot. it's already very short notice cause i promised him i'll confirm with him yesterday morning smile.gif

after all the hassle, i'm tempted to change the emblem 1st thing after getting the car. but i'd like to change the wheel center logo as well. anyone got full set for all these?

spoken to him b4, if i book 2010 date now price would be 650 - 10% which is 585. that extra 35 bucks is not a big deal compare to the nonsense that i'm going through with naza at the moment.

LOL... that's why i'm not really bothered to call naza careline, cause they will tell u waiting period for the car is xx months (what, 2 - 4 months?). and now the car is launched less than a month ago.

thanks for the suggestion, will do so as last resort cause I think my case quite similar to spawnster's below. will call them again tomoro morning to check what's the status. if still ding dong, then careline that is.

QUOTE(Spawnster @ Dec 15 2009, 10:56 PM)
i beg to differ. i was allocated my car with chassis/engine number even before i paid the full downpayment. loan was just approved but not signed yet. i booked on the 27th november. my car came last week to showroom on thursday. delayed was caused by AP document not complete so can't send for inspection. also runner was on leave and also sick. supposed to get car today but postpone to tomoro. i believe delay caused by branch and HQ tardiness. SA alwiz say AP car takes longer. and this coming from AP king. never had any problem when i bought CBU hyundai getz last time.
*
who should provide this AP document? customs department? naza should have settled all these before launching of the car i suppose?

anyway, googled abit and bumped into these topics about AP

called the careline just now... the lady who picked up the call said she will follow up with the branch and let me know the status, then after half an hour the branch called and updated me.

why why must want me to escalate only can get things done. yesterday and the day before, never bothered to call me if i don't call them. i'm in the service sector too... and i will not escalate things if i get updates properly.

I didn't really get a clear info from them ( they do not have the clear info as well.. just saying we has that option .. and not sure how true is it until someone finally wanted to do that ). Will see how if that day does come.

even if doing the downgrades from 17 to 16, have to make sure they are not replacing with a lousy heavy rim.. or it is wasting effort.

KM replied this in FB:

"But it would be such a waste. OE wheels go through a stringent process. They are tested for radial impacts, side impacts, etc. for safety. We cannot stress this enough, that wheels and tyres are critical safety items. You normally don't get even close to OE levels of quality and safety in aftermarket alloys.

The PCD, bolt or nut 'shoulder' shape (flat, convex or cone), centre-bore diameter and offset is 100% matching to your hubs and your steering geometry. Get the offset wrong and your car will be horrible to drive, with the steering kicking back every time you encounter an irregular road surface.

The manufacturing cost of OE wheels are also usually higher than garden variety aftermarket ones, and any mishap may affect warrantable items on your car so you should consider this before changing."
