2012 New Ford Explorer

[macxchange]

*dragonexplorer, bro is this the step board you ordered?

[dragonexplorer]

*macxchange: Yes, but in black. I did not opt for the chrome or stainless versions.

I think dapat kasama ang spolier when you foil it black.

Where do you plan to have your EX foiled at?

visual speed in binan laguna.. for the glossy black foil, price is 3,000 php. while the panoramic foil is 5,000 php.. i'm leaning towards the panoramic foil.. Marc will give discount if there will be group buy.. so what do you say guys? tera let's form a group buy!

We'd like to see the outcome. Please post photos after. Thanks!

i hope meron mag set ng EB tayong mga EX owners.. photo ops hehe

Last week you're ranting about the long wait, now you got your unit. Congrats & welcome to the club! cguro pinalipas lang ang election fever
befor ehtye hand them over.

+1.. i'm also eyeing on this one.. the black board with black trim is the best in my opinion

kasama na ba dito yung bracket kit? do we have to get that also? or pede yung mismong step board nalang?

[speed_kills]

Maxchange, thanks for the price update.

I'm curious, for the guys who got theirs recently, what's the order lead time nowadays? Do you still need to pay "extra" to buy an Explorer?

I don't remember when was the last time I inquired but this happened in Ford Commonwealth. The sales guy told me that to be prioritized, I had to buy something equivalent to 10% DI (accessories, insurance, bank commission, etc). He was actually embarrassed with the situation but unfortunately, there were customers taking their offer.

Avoid if you can wait. Go and try FORD Makati as another poster suggested.

Got mine for $290 with the brackets. Shipping from the US to the Philippines cost me another $90.

Rootersph and I are also game to have a meet and greet. Magandang location is somewhere na mayroong big outdoor parking lot where we can park side by side para me pictorial hehe! Fort Bonifacio pwede. Let's do an American Meet and Greet Breakfast at IHOP or McDo na din haha!

*speed_kills, waited for more than a month. I made the reservation deposit of 20k 1st week of March when I heard that they are coming up with an updated one, got the unit third week of April. That time there were two dealers more offering me to get the unit from them. One of them Ford Makati will let you pay in cash, with all the freebies but you'll have to get the in house insurance around 70k, so I opted on Ford Alabang. I was surprised that i came with a OEM Ford Explorer laser cut rubber matting on top of a regular mat. Just hard to get the white platinum right now. Other colors I think would make your life easier.

I'm good with the Explored meet up. That way we can share all inputs and probably come up with group buys on some of the kits abroad.

Does our EX rust-proofed/undercoated already? i can't verify iniwan ko sa manila yung oto..

[spynz]

Selling sets of tire Toyo proxes ST-II. 90% thread. 265/50/20. Currently installed in my Explorer. Way better than the stock Hankook. Perfect fit for our Explorer. RFS. change of plan.
PM me for interested. Big discount.

*SPYNZ: Dude, napansin ko na parang black yung roof ng Explo mo. Foil-a-car ba yan or carbon fiber sticker?

I'm ok with the eyeball. Huwag lang sana maulan. Sa Belair bro, are you near the area? Sounds like kasi you have contact in Binan.

Boss my roof is painted. I did foilacar in the roof before but didn't work. I payed 12k just for the roof but the roof of the Explorer has a corrugated part several of them. They used the expensive brand. In the beginning they will not tell you because of money but after they will tell the cons. After few weeks of installation the foil will peel beside the corrugated section. Not all but most of them. They will give warranty but they hassle will not pay off. Marami bubbles. The best to foil is the cars because the roof is plain or smooth. Strongly not advisable ang FOIL ng roof.

I grew up in binan, also practicing in our eye clinic along san antonio (the food district in binan hehe)

I'll be going down to manila next week for the convention and really hoping i could still squeeze the time for panoramic foiling..

Biglaang EB hehe

*SPYNZ: did u get a refund dahil unsuccessful yung foil? Have u tried those carbon fiber stickers? Pero balita ko mabilis din daw matanggal? And did u get the bumper protector locally? Coz I'm looking for one.

Hi! With Ford Alabang, did you have to pay for extras apart from the car itself? I visited Ford Edsa recently and they are requiring 5% DI.

Sales lady said that all Ford dealers require the same DI daw.

Bro, deal with the sales lady(dapat beauty) to be included in the deal if you understand what i mean.

[macxchange]

*speed_kills, no extra payments or D.I., I got all the freebies and paid in cash since in house financing will cost you an arm & a leg. As I've said if you are serious in buying the car, you may check out Ford Alabang and Ford Makati. You'll have a better chance getting a unit there.

*spynz, bro how much to do the black paint on the rims?

Boss, Walang refund but anytime pwede akong bumalik sa kanila para sa repair ng foil. I'm thinking na super hassle if like this. Kasi halos every week may back job. Parehas naman tayong busy in our nature. Carbon fiber sticker? Boss don't ever think of it. Mag mukhang baduy ang EX kung lagyan ng fake carbon. Sawa na ako sa carbon fiber. Regarding sa bumper protector i bought it in US.
