Not all lah bro....some smaller models....due to pricing issues in Singapore...AD will take off some features from the original specs. Have to see what brand lah. Like my Myvi.....in Masia all have airbags and etc....here....nothing. Airbags got pros and cons lah...but I don't want to go into any dispute of airbags. If have of cos good lor... Bo then bo bian.

Comparing it with the stock condition it came with, did you feel a world of difference or really it just helped to dampen the noise more? And finally what make/ model do you drive.

I do feel abit different, But compare some stock Euro car vs Japanese car with full soundproof, euro car till better. I don't know why.

More on the interior panels. More solid than those cheap plastic in some Jap car in my own opinion

found a can at autobacs at kaki

 

I tried looking around at those big hardware stores (DIY Stores) I thought they had these 3M undercoating sprays but I couldn't find any. Maybe Autobacs is the only place selling them now.

 

How many cans did you use to get your wheel wells done? I'm thinking of doing this DIY undercarriage or the wheelwells. Or maybe go to Tuff kote, I think I paid $350? on my previous car for Tuff Kote. But they don't open the wheel wells and spray inside though.

 

I don't know how much the 3M undercoating sprays are, but seems like they are $11 USD each, so maybe I guess it's at least $15SGD here. The main issue with DIY for this is that its difficult to do proper undercarriage undercoating without a lift, or at least a stand.

Btw, I'm wondering if I could use these sprays on the door panels (from the inside) without degreasing. Usually the door panels are greased for rust proofing I believe. But mine's a 3yo car, and I wonder if the grease are gone.

grease won't disappear, mostly settled at the bottom hence I think you can spray w/o degreasing but im kinda skeptical bout the effectiveness coz the stuff that ur gonna spray doesn't have much mass and low in density....
