Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[washburn]

since i decided yesterday to get the SF I saw no less than 5 SF on the road since yesterday. And then today since I decided on the blue titanium on the way home this evening I saw 2 Blue Titanium SF magkatabi pa...

hehe halos ganun din ako a, hehe nung wala pang plate dami ko nakitang
gun metal, pero ngayon halos bihira nalang ako makakita ng SF hehe di ko alam kung bakit

Sa SM southmall, may nakita akong gold color 1st Gen SF. Mukhang Tucson na pinalaki!
Minsan lang akong makakita ng SF sa lugar namin. Pero kung sinuswerte, average of 2 SF a day.Kahit pala wala nang discount ngayon ay madami pa rin nabili ng SF.
Congrats to all new SF owners!

That is unusual. I drive from Commonwealth to Makati (Thru Edsa or Libis/C5) daily and I only see maximum of 2 SF on the road. I prefer konti lang to make our rides unique.

I guess we won't be enjoying the exclusivity of having an SF for long dahil talagang dumadami na. Sa village lang namin tatlo na kaming naka SF, puro bago at buti na lang magkakaiba ng kulay. Last Saturday when I went out I saw 3 SF's along Dona Soledad in Betterliving in the morning. On my way home, I saw 2 SF's again along teh same road. I always look at the plate nos. to make sure I'm not seeing the same SF's. The following day, Sunday, I saw another 2 SF's nung nagsimba kami. I don't think coincidence lang yun, I believe talagang popular na ang SF and pretty soon, magiging common sight na ito sa kalye like the fort. And this maybe the reason why lately mahirap na makakuha ng magandang discount and freebies. Just my opinion.

Meron talagang 1st gen SF na nilabas dito pero di lahat ng dealers nagcarry nito. Sa Hyundai E.Rod meron nito dati nung bago pa lumabas ang Tucson pero hindi ito nag click kaya very rare na makakita ka nito sa kalye. Medyo hawig talaga sya sa Tucson, akala ko nga nung lumabas ang Tucson, ito na ang papalit sa 1st gen SF.

Sir nels26,

I got mine 3M tint at Hyundai Commonwealth. At first gusto nila platinum but i insist on 3M. Hayun pumayag n rin. And ifever po 3M take BC rather than RE ksi mas makapal po ang BC. Also po try nyo po palagay ng FULL ksi nun una sa akin gus20 nila may hati. Eh ako naman makulit sabi ko FULL. They call up 3M person para ikabit lng ang tint ko.

actually i am looking at getting my SF rust proofed at zeibart when i get it. if Hyundai will cover rust as part of their warranty then maybe you can opt not to get it rust proofed. for me its for peace of mind, i intend to keep my SF for a long time and spending for full lifetime rust proof from zeibart is worth it. i usually go to their branch along c5/pasig.

Had mine installed at Stage1 along araneta avenue, but also available at BigBerts. Brand is VTX performance, cost 10k but with 2 years warranty, Color temp available are from 3000k to 12000k. 3000k-6000k is I think the best to use for more candle power. Hope this helps.

where exactly is it along araneta? which side and what is the landmark? also, do you have their number?

Thanks sir dragonheart. Perhaps w/in the week i'l try to visit ziebart. As anyone who got their santa fe rust proof pls share some info naman. Kasi iniisip ko n which is better ifever n parust proof ko yun SF drill a hole or pabaklas ko yun side panel?
