i buy from kelvin

the powder is bare minimal compare to proton.

i'm not good in photography if not can show u the differences between my front rim and rear rim.

plan to chg my rear brake pad as well to say 88 to brake powder

I have an SE and the only thing i changed are the rims. The bodykit is already nice, no need to touch and i'm loving the look of my car now
Now just thinking of changing to a nice comfortable leather semi bucket seats. so far can't really find leather 1. maybe can get a nice pair of scsuss n rewrap with alcantra leather
maybe can also wrap the dashboard with alcantra leather

ya i also agree with you. just replace my rims last saturday

I am gonna do what i did to my ex car but not anytime soon..got other matters need to be done FIRST. On budget and improved much better than stock.

1. 4-2-1 aftermarket exhaust header
2. S-Flow rear muffler
3. NGK Platinum tipped spark plugs
4. Good light weight oil (40) if less is possible then go for it. Even better.
5. Cold air intake. But since original is already having such design with the funnel channeled up front which i think its pretty good enough. Perhaps i will trim or cut a hole at the top grill edge to let / force more moving air while the car is moving. But i will have to plan properly or else during heavy rain i might have some problems of rain water entering the air filter box.

And IMHO i won't go for aftermarket filters. Though it gives more macho sounding engine tone, but i seriously do not trust such filters to filter as good as original filters. It is pretty much common sense. I am looking for long term usage of the engine not short term with high maintenance due to usage of such aftermarket air filters. Yes, i know such aftermarket filters like K&N are lifetime usage and can be cleaned. But, i am talking about how these filters are unable to filter just as good as original filters. Seriously doubt aftermarket air filter's filtering efficiency.

Ceramic pad also product dust but very less.. normal brake pad 1 week already blacken ur rim, ceramic 2 week use just 1/4 of normal pad 1 week. Just a bit yellowish after 2 week. But Ceramic pad is softer but it lock ur wheel whenever u wan. Most part i like is does not have those creeking or zii-ing braking sound at all

its not because of gap. its just that the rubber is kinda "sticky" and squeaky. Mine also like that. I spray WD40 on all the areas so that such sounds are no more to be heard.

Oh Yeah, totally agree changing the sport rim will be give the best look of SE. The skirts already nice and its ORI.

mine more like from the door panel like plastic rubbing sound..not very loud but can be heard. Planing to get insuflex 6mm stick on 4 door panel.

just to inform you, all Persona doors (panel underside) and plastic panels are heavily insulated with a type of sound insulation pad. Pretty thick. That is why the doors are soo freakin heavy!!!! So if you wanna put extra padding.... i dunno how you are gonna stick it man. hahaha....

Those plastic sound... yea i do get some of those... Minor ones at the doors and also louder ones at the dashboard. I am trying to narrow down on where the heck it is to fix the noise. I believe its due to some loose wiring or metal rods for the locking mechanism that makes the noise. In my car, those safety belt anchor points near ur ear..... at the pillars la... do make some noise as well.

I noticed that every time after car wash or rain.... the car is sure quiet and free from such noises mentioned.


Below are the actual Persona door panel underside with stock thick sound insulation paddings. Note: Photos taken from someone else. Mine i forgot to take photos and its the same anyways.
