Read post no 7 please. All pricing in USD. Exchange rate unknown until I pay with credit card. Citibank might give a better rate than other banks. The price is per piece + freight. Any further discount (group buy) is still unknown as we do not have quantity, but I have already asked them to provide best price if we can achieve 5 pcs to 10 pcs. Price of unit unlikely to drop. We might be able to enjoy saving in freight. I will update again tomorrow.

Do update me if there any update on the price.

What are the estimation price?

Mak oi...I don't have all the answers yet. All that I know have been shared on 1st page.

VG Mark II Shark Fin Antenna = USD 69
Freight = USD 28
Discount/ Freight saving = Unknown 1
Tax = Unknown 2
Maybank Forex as of 16 May 2013 = 3.0660
Forex Lost = Unknown 3

So the formula will be as below:-

[(69+28)*3.0660] - Unknown 1 + Unknown 2 + Unknown 3

Unknown 1

I have yet to discuss with them on pricing if we buy bulk la. I cannot tell you what is the saving.

Unknown 2

Tax according to the price of senior member, they got it without tax from the same source I am getting. There is one member who got direct from Korea (whole set type include base, need to dismantle, different from this), he paid 600 including tax (not sure what is the cost price) and good got held in custom for a month. I do not know why it is held for month.

Unknown 3

You also know that Forex change daily. I will not rugi to you and I will not earn your money. If Forex gain means we save bit more la. If Forex lost we all need to bare the differences la.

I AM NOT THE SELLER

I will close and proceed to book by 23rd May at least one piece for myself regardless of the gathered quantity. I am already prepared to pay RM300 for the antenna. Whether we can or cannot achieve a bigger quantity for group buy and discount, I will let you guys know the final price after negotiation but subject to Unknown 2 and Unknown 3.

As the amount is not small, I will need at least RM 300 to be banked into me first before I order. I cannot afford FFK. Putting 2 left over sirip ikan yu on my car’s doors is not sexy. Just incase Unknown 2 and Unknown 3 applies, I will ask for top up. If there is saving and the total charge is less than 300, I will refund upon delivery, or via Maybank.

About the paint code, their paint code NAME is different from NAZA’s paint code NAME. I have seen pictures and I would say it is same. I will take the risk for my own purchase. So please do not bombard me if the colour comes out to be slight different/ not up to your expectation. If yours is different by slight, mine will be too.

This is the plug and play functioning fractal antenna that I have found (besides those that need you to disassemble your whole stock antenna base or those only for aesthetic purpose). This one is just stick on with an internal cord connected to your stock antenna base. I have NOT tried using this before hence I have no personal review. I have read through all 18 version of thread and there is not enough data to say this will maintain, upgrade or downgrade the radio signal, but no one seems to be complaining. What I have read is that it will have different effect on different channel. I have no identification of which channel will be affected. So I am taking the risk here too. Therefore please don't shoot me if the signal thingy does not go your way.

For those who need this, I can help in getting them. I earn no money from this. Therefore, if you need me to post them to you, you need to pay for the inland freight (SkyNet, Pos Laju). I can find time to meet around KL (Bukit Jalil, Mid Valley Area) and Selangor (Shah Alam, Klang). For those who are interested in Group Buy, please provide your detail as below. Serious buyers only please.

This pic shows the inside of the VG shark fin antenna..note that there are metal signal receiver inside the antenna (connected to original antenna base) that explained why the reception is up to par with the stock 'bee sting' antenna

it comes with 3M automotive adhesive, right? this adhesive strong enough?

Not easily drop-off ??

Boss ah boss, if you are talking about the VG shark fin, yes, it comes with 3M as claimed in the website. I have not used this before so I do not have any shark fin antenna flew off from my car's roof yet. I am no seller, but from my research this antenna can be removed. This means that this is not permanent, but there is one over sea user (Prius driver) who claimed that his fingers got blue black when he tried to remove it. So I guess it will not fly off...GUA...Don't shoot me if it flew off. Just press all angle for one minute each if kiasi.

Please do research also before you confirm to buy. I do not want all of you point fingers at me because I believe what I have read, and I said so. Results might be different. I am baring the reasonable risk for myself and I shall not be accounted for, if things are not up to your expectation. I am just responsible to make sure I book the correct colour you requested, send out to you. If you google VG, Prius is using, Chevy is using, Mazda is using, some jeep is using.

I AM NO SELLER.

hey bro
sorry if i asked a silly question
i actually deleted my question for the first time. i googled this 3m adhesive but din get the answer n thats y i ask
since many forumers claimed that 3M sticker is strong enough, i think this 1 is good enough.
dun pissed off har

VG claim to use "Pre-installed 3M custom double-sided adhesive gasket". I think should not fly off since so many have used this since Mark I. This one that we are getting is Mark II.

Congrats on v18 ^^

Price

VG Mark II Shark Fin Antenna = USD 69 (Firm)
Freight (for 5 to 15 units) = USD 80 to 150
Exact Freight Saving = Unknown 1
Tax = Unknown 2
Maybank Forex as of 16 May 2013 = 3.0660
Forex Lost = Unknown 3

So the price formula will be as below:-

[(69+28)*3.0660] - Unknown 1 + Unknown 2 + Unknown 3

Unknown 1

Price for unit is firm. USD 69 per piece. The only saving is on freight. From their email I perceive that the 5 unit's freight is USD 80. Hence, 1 unit's freight is USD 16 instead of 28. If 15 units, freight is USD 10 per piece. However this only applies for 5 units and above. If we cannot achieve 5 pcs, the freight price will be requoted.

Unknown 2

Tax according to the price of senior member, they got it without tax from the same source I am getting.

Unknown 3

Forex changes daily. If Forex gain means we save bit more. If Forex lost we all need to bare the differences.
