Some questions (I think they are all that you can ask) and his reply:-

1) How much you are selling the under carriage with installation?
xxx with installation. We can look for a workshop near you.

2) Also, can you send me your sales thread?
http://forum.lowyat.net/uploads/attach-62/...-1362316509.jpg

3) What happen when you go service? The service guy just take it out and put it back?
There are the door as the mechanic will open through the door to change your engine oil and others part as well. Every Orsen shield is specific to the car model . Dont worry, wont purposely to take whole orsen shield out for service.

4) The Weight (kg) of this piece of part?
Basically , this Orsen shield weight is around 5 to 5.5 kg . Is a 4th generation of Under amour protection. It made by Quality fiber.Is consider lightest weight. Such as Avanza ,itself have their own Under amour which is made by iron . As you know , iron may bent very easily once hit something hard on the road .

5) Maximun temperature resistance (in degree Celsius if possible)?
Firstly this is 4th generation of underamour protection. It make by high quality of polymer fiber , you can bend all over this orsen shield , i confirm it wont spoil or damage easily. you can watch from the video that the car go through this orsen shield with any hard object pressure. As many customer do ask me this is orsen shield is heat resistance or withstand the heat? we had customers that with Turbo, which install our orsen shield , it stand the heat of the turbo very well and never get damage by the heat .

6) Are these items corrosive resistant (skid plate and nuts/screws as well)?
Skid plate is made of fiber , and it wont corrosive at all and nuts is same as usual of other nut of your car . wont corrosive so easily .

7) I have also seen the covers with mandarin wording, some with english wording (from your sales thread). Can clarify?
Regarding the Chinese name or english name it is actually the same. Just it is original name in chinse and english only.

The service window/ hole is locked by screw on the skid? Or other bolt? Or other type of lock mechanism? You have clearer picture of that? What is used to hold this window on the skid?
Some sort like plastic bolt. Easy for the mechanic to open the window.

How many years warranty?
Warranty will be two years given

Bestest best price?

I did it. Result is good and I am happy.

If anything happens, just take out and send to SC. Plug and play, no one will need to know. They just take out bolt, slot the ring into your bolts, then lock it back again. Forte only has 4 rings for the front. Back not applicable.

Hi Ling, May i know what was the good result from your side after applying this ?

Thanks for your feedback drool.gif

Chill bro. You can always opt for another SC. Try going other SC and do homework before hand. If I am not mistaken, some of the seniors fixed this issue by changing the whole side mirror assembly.

Complain them kao kao. Forum recommended to buy from AZ, but I cannot recall anyone saying that we are getting superb service from their SC. So lets see what Edwin and KS has to say in this.

Just wondering, Do you guys have wind issue when drive over 90 km/h ?

Yes, the auto defogger sensor is "double-taped" onto the windscreen. But the SC should use a transparent type of double tape so that it is aesthetically nice and pleasing to the eye. If you need my SC to help you to tape it using this transparent double tape, do let me know and you can come to our SC.

Thank you

Forte has defogger sensor ?

That is the front windscreen auto defogger sensor. To activate it, you need to set your A/C to auto mode. When the sensor senses mist or fog on your front windscreen, it will activate the blower to clear the fog.

Ohh... thats y my aircon always change mode itself... Thanks for clarification.
