Alright. Today will be a good day to try out the left leg. Tomorrow morning will be a goodtime to try out the boot. But now that you mention, I do sweat on my foot when I am driving with sandals. Will take note later when I drive back.

But your statement confused me. SC took an hour to do (insulation) with your AC full blast? What is the purpose?

'After insulation, if you on your air cond blowing at your leg area, the whole console will be very warm again'. Shouldn't be cold if you blow AC to your leg?

This car is designed with the exhaust pipe running at the middle of the car. Hence the heat is travelling from front and end at the back (boot).

I did boot noise treatment. Not sure if I can feel the real effect in this case.

Tested the heat. Cup side not hot. Centre console near left leg is not hot. Boot is not hot.

DRL only is cheaper less complication. The eyeliner need to change the whole lamp right? Why not add DRL separately, then change the lamp to BMW projector style.

King of mod drops by. Hehe. What are the latest poisons?

I have not tried but you can try to put on the cushion 1st?

I don't see mine dangling. Will check tomorrow.

By the way,time to chane car mat. The mat is out of position alr.

Sharp eyes zerohunter. I have checked mine. No dangling. Just came back from bagan lalang. The road towards there via banting is killing the car. Uneven-ness, potholes, 'plane runway like' bridge. The 17" low profile is just not designed for this. Damn tension when driving. The car took more punishment in this 2 days more than 2 months accumulate.

This is the confuse part.



Even if you direct the airflow to your leg, that segment is still hot? That means the heatload is much higher than the cooling load to create a scenario where you still feel very hot even with AC on.

If it is this case, if you do not direct the AC airflow to the leg, your leg must be cooked already.

Get your SA to insulate properly for you. Or go SC complain that your leg is cooked. Primary is fix this first. Sound should be later.

Anyone else interested? I will be ordering and get final quotation on the quantity of 4 on Monday. Please confirm if you really want the antenna. Also, can some of the member here ask the same if the member there want this antenna. I don't have FB. More order means more saving on freight.

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.

All Titanium Silver regardless of year carries the same code. Naza’s code is V03 for TitS, but for them, the TitS’ code is IM. No V03 is found on Kia, but they found on Mazda and V03 is purple. I have asked them to proceed with code IM as per the colour shown on pictures.

There will be no difference is the shark fin itself and the colour for all above. All 4 of us will be getting the identical unit.

Production lead time at this moment is 1 to 2 weeks. Shipping is 6 to 10 working days, as I have upgraded to shipping package with tracking number and insurance. Normal freight takes longer and not recommended even by the seller.

I will update again once I have news that the units are sent out. I will contact member via msg once I am ready to deliver the units to hand.

Bro, this is confusing. Take photo of our car together means you take picture together with my car? Or we take picture together with my car? Or we take picture together with our cars? Or we take pictures on of our car together? Joking joking la.

I will install on weekend after I do full washing on my car. Washing will start at 7 and ends at 10. So...hehe.

Everytime I bath her I make sure I take out my wedding ring. You can imagine what is the bond I have with the car. This is not healthy.

I placed order today. Their time when they got my order supposed to be evening? Process order tomorrow means ETD starts tomorrow.

Production lead time is 1 to 2 weeks. Shipping is 6 to 10 working days. That also means 1 to 2 weeks. Fastest 2 weeks, latest 1 month we can get the fin.
