Added on May 10, 2011, 4:38 pmJust to share my experience on DIY-ing soundproofing. One thing I can tell you..it's not easy sticking the mat into the doors. And your butt and legs will Hurt the next day!


Opening up the door panels


Check out our door nicely painted inside lol


Side impact bar and no soundproofing in sight


Tada!! Soundproofed..

My car now it's definitely more quieter but just done the doors only..planning to do my boot when I come back frm Genting. Does this motivate anyone to DIY? haha

Can try to apply..... There's only 3 mods here and not that active.....

Now I choose to wait.... If Euro4 comes in fast(2014-15), I'll get diesel driven cars.... Else, Forte will be my best choice..... Sometimes I still prefer products that are made from Eastern countries....

errr..why are we discussing about choosing new mods..smk ok what..

btw, i vote for xion.hehe.he is the Founder of Kedah Perlis KIA Forte Owners Club, and Northern MyForte Club..you are more than eligible..

The door, if can try to put more effort on the corners... Like the window area.... If done right, it will give good results....

I don't think the LYN's admin will allow such mod... Don't know but can always try to apply... Be a mod over here must not be biased on a particular brand only....

stop talk bout moderator lorrr.. it's not something that you can apply or request if you're just active in one thread.

you must have good knowledge in motoring, actively giving opinion in discussion, giving idea in improving LYN's forum.

sighhh.. who came out with this topic? dunno what to say lorrr..

TS also no power la.. just edit the 1st post and title can lorrr..

so next topic please~!

Those are bitumen strips that people use to patch zinc roofs. One side is bitumen and the other side is aluminium and about 3-4mm thick. You can find them in most hardware stores. The bitumen is sticky so all you need is to take the strip with the bitumen side facing the inside of the door/chassis and paste on.

Well, should get those proper SP materials as they can withstand higher temperature. Get the cheapest will do and after that layer, apply Insuflex on top...

That cannot be applied to car..... It will melt after some time.....

Anyone can suggest what I should put on top of the insluflex? I put insluflex as my first layer d..wonder put another layer will it better

Added on May 11, 2011, 10:04 amI advice you to get a security tint about 5mil.. Very important nowadays but if you want good heat rejection and security you must go for llumar..but it's very expensive..

Yes you can. Did that 10 years ago and it is still intact in my previous car after these 10 years (new owner loved it so much that when he resprayed the car he told them not to remove it). There are many types of bitumen strips. The ones used for roof repairs are made to withstand direct sunshine/rain on THE ROOF. Don't get the crappy no brand china made imitation ones. Those melt even before you use it.
