I've done the Door Seal (3M) for my car...result is OK for the price that i paid...i cant remember exactly how much but in the region of RM1XX for all 4 doors. Yeap...the door will be slightly hard to close..but it will have "thump" sound instead of tin kosong sound....
As for soundproof the Car, for me personally i won't do it DIY....becoz...i'm not skill enough and not knowledgeable enough...hehehe..

Each and every material for soundproof have their range of use, placement and method of application...to save the hassle i just go to shop that i have confidence...my choice of shop to do Soundproof...EA Autoworks (Howie Choo) or KL Auto (Desmond)...can find them on facebook...
*
u call factory fitted rubber insulation sound like tin kosong ? u must be kidding....go check out Vios, City you will know...so after install the door seal is your car quieter or mentally wise ?

as for sound proof, yes you are correct there are many brand and range product cater for different need but there is also alternative for cheaper material which work the same IF you about to know WHERE is the RIGHT place to do sound proof...

I was told that 6speeders sound proof and insulation has improved quite alot vs 4 speeders

I did mine for rm1.3K smile.gif so far paint protection is still good, but the water repellency always gone within 2 months. Good thing about nanobrite is the after sales service. He provide car wash also where he will settle any eye sores you see on your car smile.gif Every 1 month I will bring back to him to wash and he will return my car looking as good as new - at only rm20  flex.gif Those pesky tar stains and pesky bird shit marks, he will settle it for you  notworthy.gif

Hmm...let me do they math. Rm1.3K water repelling only last 2 months, every 1 month Rm20....so 1 year Rm240...do you think worth it ?? sweat.gif

I would rather DIY (which i did wink.gif), and maintain it myself....cost of product less than Rm350, maintain (i got tonnes product....so no problem)...consider a good exercise to DIY, learn the best way to maximise your paintwork life span.... thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Well... In my defense, I also did my calculation.. after calculate here and there, feel that my time is more precious  icon_question.gif I've only got weekends to myself. Washing car only can do during early morning or late evening. And mostly these 2 times I won't be at home.. So usually Saturday afternoons I'll send my car for washing smile.gif

You got time on your side good la, can save that money. I don't have the luxury sad.gif

Very easy to apply and long lasting coating * depend how you maintain also... thumbup.gif

Interesting..... Coz the way he apply, by spraying, wiping, apply some solution onto a sponge and wiping it on car surface, waiting a few minutes to cure and wiping it again....  blink.gif exactly what nanobrite does to restore the water repellency  shakehead.gif

For all I know, this might be the exact same product he uses  unsure.gif

modern coating is design to me ease of use / application...what make them different is BRAND and DURABILITY, on top of that also the surface preparation, cure time, buff off time etc...

Great to annouce that im finally a Fortezen too~~~ 1.6sx white from Penang~!!!! Got my car on wednesday~!!! One question to ask fellow tai ko regarding the stock HU music player. Everytime i park my car for few hour and when i coming back to it, the music player seems like cannot continue what i have listen just now. I need to open the playlist again and play the song from begining. Anyone facing this? Just now i even face the problem where my USB are not detected, trying switch off the HU and on again bt it cant help until i restart the whole car, then only can detected.

Went for 1st service at 1500km. Got them to fix the seat vibrating issue. They tightened the bolt. Not fully silent. I can still hear some but really obvious now.

Any one know how to eliminate it once and for all? Any one done it in SC where they do it differently?
*
Unfortunately you can't. Either crank up audio volume or get use to it...some minor very hard to detect, some only happen on day/night time...

Yeah. I believe they really need to take this seriously when they assemble the car parts. the rattling sound really annoying especially you drive on uneven roads. I always drive in industrial area and it is very bad experience. I couldn't stand anymore so last 2 months I asked the SC buka dashboard even though I know my dashboard might get scratched or worse case will have more rattling sounds.

I request the SC allowed me to sit it with the foreman and monitor closely. There all are nice enough to fix it. Well, it scratched my dashboard. But I know this is unavoidable because they have to cucuk the tool into the gap between dashboard and air-con vent beside HU in order to take it out. That is the 'price' you have to sacrifice.

And now.. Very less rattling sound and drive more comfortable  icon_rolleyes.gif

Why dont you ask for a new dashboard?

Could be alot factor, by right the tyre shop guy will able to tell you which part caused it if its gone beyond standard specification (or they wanna make more your $$ for higher level adjustment ?)

my dad and i have been dealing with the tire shop for many years, also many regulars i can see, i don't think they wanna cheat me for small money, if he wanna make money he can simply quote me a price to fix it but he advised me to go sc and let them diagnostic since it's a new car

Hmm..ok then perhaps after you found out the root caused from SC, can share here ya smile.gif

can't see the pic clearly.. as long as the tape is transparent and see thru..

the acrylic transparent tape won't create stubborn adhesive leftover whenever you decided to remove something from your car ie: car number plate unlike 3M foam type..

To those civic fanboys, please stay away from us if you have nothing else to do in your JUNK cabin.

I was driving happily alone on Kesas this afternoon, keeping my car in the middle lane at 90km/h. Tak pasal pasal this fan boy come cucuk me. Little boy with civic ah, right lane empty la. Either go right lane or keep distance away from me. Cucuk me for nothing for what?

Being cucuk for like 1 minute or so, I decided to step on it, he chased. At 130, I downshifted 2 gear and started sprinting. I am sure he did not see it coming. What? Your civic cannot use pedal shift without pushing your joy stick ah? Or you don't have pedal shift?

Tutup kedai la. If you can't even chase at 160, don't simply cucuk FORTE. I saw your plate, WX* 7494. But I cannot see if you are a 2.0 or 1.8, because I was never at your back. You know who you are fan boy. So the next time you see me in Kesas, drive away from me. Fan boy!

civic wo...

WHY need race with him on public road, endangering yourself + most important endangering public ? Can't you cut in and let him pass ? doh.gif
