thanks for the feedback. smile_clown.gif based on my first deal with the co: filtermall- they are very professional and honest dealer. did not have problem with customs before maybe becoz the amount i ordered was small. in fact i dont see a point why the custom need to be bothered with my order. but as a precautionary measure, i will accept order up to 10 units first and see how it goes. yes, i will try to absorb the postage handling cost so that the items could be delivered safely to your doorstep.

p/s should there be any changes of conversion rate between RM with USD, i will notify you guys later.

3 months I ago the Korean parts shops did not have the Rondo's air-cond filter yet. Apparently it is a unique size.

Did not check the lowyat forum though.

The current price for the group buy is in line with other models.



Apparently, Kia is intelligent enough to share its parts across its models......simple search revealed that

Thanks for the info. I know that parts are shared but I did not bother to do any research. I only know that the Rondo's air-cond filter is of a different size to the Sonata NF's.

Of the models that share the same air-cond filter, our best hope is the Kia Sportage as the Rio did not sell enough units in Malaysia.

thanks for the interest. been busy for the past few days. workload and what not. the deadline is on this sunday- 24th jan at 12.00 pm. read the comment from leongts:

he wrote that kia rondo cabin filter is shared. i knew that. but for your information, you would only get this type of cabin filter

http://cgi.ebay.com/...sQ5fAccessories

so, im organizing a group buy so that we can enjoy the superior filter type at a VERY reasonable price. I bet that even kia dealers dont hold or have the kind of filter we are ordering coz of limited market for kia cars here in malaysia. BTW, my main intention here is not to make profits, since i want to enjoy a better and comfortable driving experience. and i knew how good the cabin filter is, i want others to enjoy it too.

p/s: to kevin, please share your experience using the filter since the rest of them here never use it before
