sorry, i previously suggested a brand that turned out to be pretty bad.

a lot of established brands like Kenwood, Clarion, Pioneer and JVC offer HUs that is better quality, cheaper and with rearview cam compared to the OEM HU.

just got to make sure your car wires are not messed with, else risk of voiding warranty.

test drove Civic and Focus last weekend.

overall, i prefer Civic.

Focus - more power due to high horsepower, smoother transition, better cornering and more high-tech. but i don like the cream interior (dashboard is divided into dark n cream color)....and my test car was very very untidy with a lot of dirt mark. also my gf sat behind the passenger seat and she nearly puked. not comfortable at all according to her. the buttons are confusing too...the light button, is very very new to me.

Civic - so far so good. interior looks cheap, but since it's all black, it won't be that untidy. it looks slicker also. not as high-tech like focus though and fuel consumption definitely not as good as focus. but the car boot opening is bigger and rear seats are more comfortable. 

but i do note one problem...when i test drove civic...the shift was not really smooth esp 1st to 2nd gear. anyone experienced that? the salesman said it's not usual for civic and maybe that car needs to be serviced :T

the looks of the new malaysian civic really an acquired taste i would say. not as ugly as what most ppl say, and once you accept that this isn't the familiar old civic, it looks quite good imho.

any news on or if M'sia is gonna get the current 2013 version? It looks a lot more refined and although I'm not too fond of chrome bits, it does look better than the pre facelifted one.

OK thanks for all the info bro. I decided to go for OEM HU because I am worry that the wiring stuffs cause void of warranty on other electronic components. More expensive than aftermarket options but I would rather use cheaper tints and bodykits.

Anyone from Melaka had installed your fb with oem modulo bodykit? I had checked around Melaka, the cheapest I can get is 1550, claimed PP material. Any recommended shop in Melaka? Thanks.

the price i quoted above is from a shop around PJ ... take a drive to PJ lah... save 400 ringgit, enough for petrol and a decent lunch

sorry, but PP is better than PU/Fibre/ABS?

For my understanding, PP is better than ABS. The other types of material, I'm not sure.

Thanks bros for detailed explanation. How much is full mugen kit pp, roughly? Btw I just got my black civic today yahoo!!!

PP is the optimal material for bodykits, the fitments are usually 95% good. Avoid PU or Fibreglass lol, these will give you shittons of problems.

ABS isn't too bad as it is the second best material after PP, but it will be shattered if you had a bad accident because it doesn't have the softness/flexibility/toughness like the PP does. Say if you rammed something not too hard, on PP it may only be dented while still holding on to your car, whereby ABS will most likely crack and fibreglass completely shattered/destroyed.

Congrats, bro. I also just got my civic 1.8. Had done the leather seat and now waiting for my modulo bk. But price quite expensive than kl area, .

may I know how much is your modulo?

Honda modulo cost 3k right? I went to do tinting with air cool this afternoon
