I was in Eco Asia Global for full boot treatment this morning. Whole treatment took me 7 hours. I was there too for the centre and rear undercarriage foaming 1 month ago. Results? Both the treatments are functioning well. Car brakes better with the foaming, cornering wise feels better with less flexing. Now I can feel that the tire is giving way. Tire is not enough grip, less confidence in cornering.

The boot treatment? Works great. After the foaming, the noise are channeled to the boot. Boot was noisy as 15 women. Water splashes and pebbles hitting fender is apparent. Now the noise reduces alot. Alot.

This kind of mod is poisonous. Bottom road noise reduced. Boot noise reduced. But now wind noise and road noise comes from the front. Might want to do the front tire fender some other day.

To all newbies, before you buy a car, please do some homework to learn the best person to contact, to manage your expectation on the car, to learn more about the car and along the way find out how this car will become your car. After you have done some homework, you can basically teach your SA on the car features and all. You will know more than him by then.

No use for us to spoon feed you. About the 'best deal', don't ask anymore because none of us has contacted every single branch and dealer. Go contact a few and compare. I compared 3 during my time. Just becareful of hanky panky. No hanky panky, check out 1st page.

Oh ya. For god sake, for your money sake, for my sake, please at least go through 1st page as a part of your homework. Seniors and bro epo put them there for a reason. All of those are the essence which was shared by forumers since version 1.

Anyone else interested?

SHARK FIN ANTENNA GROUP BUY

Link to pictures of antenna

http://carphotos.cardomain.com/images/0015...04987_large.jpg
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e352/KDC...up/DSC00769.jpg
http://www.forteforums.com/forums/attachme...rk-fin-fin2.jpg

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 20 May 2013 = 3.060
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.

Terms

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.

Example:-
Qty x Year Make Model Style - Color Name / Color Code
(Qty: 1 x 2013 Kia Forte 4-Dr Sedan - Titanium Silver / V03)

1) lingleeyen (Qty: 1 x 2013 Kia Forte 4-Dr Sedan - Titanium Silver / V03)
2) blunderboy (Qty: 1 x 2013 Kia Forte 4-Dr Sedan - Titanium Silver / V03)
3) suai (Qty: 1 x 2013 Kia Forte 4-Dr Sedan - Titanium Silver / V03)
4)

Can test out and let me know the result? When are you going to do this?

I am damn scared of poisons now. I did foam and under carriage noise is reduced but noise channeled to the boot. I just went and do my boot treatment yesterday, road noise from the back reduced alot (I am not hearing loud ong ong sound from last time from the back) but the front wind noise pulak very apparent at 100km/h. Like there is an army charging towards you from the front and I became fatigue when I drive back from Bukit Jalil to Klang. Feel pressured. Will try and get used to it for another month before thinking what else to do.

I am just not knowing if the Orsen shield will help anything in the noise as it claimed it will be. You fast fast go do and let me know? Haha. You be the white rat. I have checked online and not a lot of reviews even from other car users.
