The 2.0 comes with sharkfin?

I bought the door courtesy light from eBay few weeks ago and was planning to DIY, but i dont think i am good at wiring and did it at the installer when i got my sharkfin antenna installed. Well, it comes with 9 very bright LED and fits nicely to the ready cover. No double sided tape is required. If you are wondering how bright is the LED, its as bright as the tail light! (refer to the attached photo that i switched on the tail light at daytime and you can still see the LED) My installer tap the wire to the door opening wire, whenever the door is opened, the light will auto go on. Can i turn this feature off? Nope, unless u tap the wire from the center dome light, which i think i supposed to ask the installer to do.

Pros: 1. Very bright and good to light up you steps when you open the door in a very dark area. 2. It will alert the car coming from the back when you open the door. 3. The front passangers will notice the door is not fully closed cos of the bright light.
Cons: None actually.

Here are some photos to share (will add on a night shot when i take the photo tonight).

wah~ it's this first reveal of the K5? before was a scratch art by designer right?

thanks for sharing..this is very useful mods..how much for this item and installation workmanship? is it hard to install?

Hi to all Forte Owners , I'm from Kuching. I have been thinking about getting a forte 2.0  for quite sometime already.

My only main concern is the re-sale value , say after 5 years.  What do you guys think will be the

fair value of our forte at the time ?

Forte 2.0 will cost over 100k including the hp interest for the 5 years.

Please comment ...

Finally, the Forte Sharfin Antenna!

I wanted the sharkfin antenna even before i booked my forte cos the ads in Korea all show the Forte with sharkfin antenna. This is actually the first mod that i bought but got stuck in Custom for 2 months ... got it cleared last week and finally installed it. It is not an original Hyundai Mobis antenna and an after market by a Korean company (Made in Korea with good quality, good paint job and gold plated connections) and it fits nicely and looks cool to me  It took approx. 3 hours to install it as the stock antenna needs to be removed and the hole on the roof has to be properly patched up and then it involves some wiring work as well. I did it at Meng's Accessories shop in Butterworth (Bagan Ajam). The workmanship of Alex is good and after a few days of rain, no leaking noted. As the antenna is actually for Korean market that covers different radio frequency band, it does not perform as good as it looks. Well, just a rough estimate after one week of using it, if stock antenna gives 10 points for the following channels, the sharkfin antenna delivers:

92.8 (Hitz FM) - 7 to 8 points
91.0 (Mix FM) - 7 points
107.6 (Red FM) - 9 points
92.5 (I FM) - 2 points (yes, cannot really listen to this channel now )
94.5 (988) - 9 points
99.7 (MY FM) - 7 to 8 points

I paid approx. RM620 for the antenna, taxes and installation. Definitely too expensive for an antenna that doesn't perform as good as the stock antenna. But my Forte looks 20% sportier now

Pros: Sportier look
Cons: Way too expensive, RM300 is reasonable. The reception is not as good as the stock antenna. Risk of leaking water on the roof if the hole isn't patched up nicely.
Suggestion: If u plan to get the sharkfin antenna, wait for the original one, which should perform better than this one and i think cost much lesser.

Here is some photos of my Forte with the sharfin antenna

I tot Saimatkong went for Ecotint

Yaloh, in his blog shows Ecotint leh!
Saimatkong, can clearify?

Btw, I decided to do Aircool here in my hometown, instead of LLumar coz Klang is too far away.....
Is Aircool ok?

FYI, all EX version now come with 15" sportrim and bodykit as standard..officially
yay! 

hopefully i'll bump into you on the streets of miri once u got your spicy red forte, i've just done 70% black tint on whitey forte today.   

Is this true? Then those who buy EX b4 must be 'am dui' loh!! How can they so no fair? Can those previous EX buyer go back install BK & Rims for free?

Mine is bright silver. After 3 month driving, one word -- EXCELLENT!
Enjoy your new baby, you will not regret over your choice.

hi bros, I have a question (hopefully you all don't think it's a stupid question)

can the Forte 2.0 run on our RM1.80/litre Ron 95 petrol? and if can, is it advisable or should use the Ron 97?

thanks!

of course.....i understand the engine is rated ron91.........ie can use petrol grade as low as ron91.........
