With a 1k price drop. Not bad. Better do it quick before they decide to axe the discount for once and for all.

Then why don't you do it back then?

I don't think dealership won't want to cut into their margin to give you anymore discounts unless they are desperate.

Just don't be disappointed again if that doesn't happen.

What you waiting for? Buy it!

Raytech cs75 pay 1k still considered 60% discount. I remember my cs85 only got rm300 discount and i only paid rm1.3k.

You dealt with raytech dealer directly or through salesman?

Might be a case of pushing the car out at the end of the month to achieve SA's monthly quota. That might explain for the tinted as i don't see why there is delays in getting the car tinted before handing it over if your SA offered to do it for you.

What do you mean by OEM? As for the bodykits, did you paid the full price of RM2k++ for the complete Modulo bodykit? If you ordered single items from the list. There might be some waiting time involved and they will tell you usually to come back and install it at later date. I ordered the pedals and tailgate spoiler and mine got installed during the first service.

If it is 3rd party kits. Then, the cost is usually lesser than an original modulo kit, about 30-40% cheaper. That should be a tell tale sign if you bought an original or 3rd party.

On top of that, original kits are installed in the honda service area by their service engineers while i think most 3rd party kits are done by and outside dealer who brings all the stuff to the honda centers and install it on the spot. Were you there when they did it?

The mugen ones are actually more expensive than the modulo ones as in the original bodykits. They, at the start of the GK launch was said to be apart of the offer list but i don't remember seeing it in the showrooms.

It costs a whopping 5k which is very unlikely your SA made a mistake for ordering the wrong kit. It is very likely he is handing you a 3rd party one rather than the original kits. Anyway, if you don't like Mugen. Bug your SA until he gets the right one for you even if it is 3rd party since you didn't pay the price of an original bodykit.

FYI, my spoiler and pedal actually come billed by the dealership (the one i went to is a 3s) although separate from the car's main bill (maybe because i made the decision after confirming the car separately) and has a service sheet when it was installed at a later date. My 3rd party non illuminated side steps however was billed by another company.

Gives you an idea how original kits are dealt with

It's impossible that they stick only. There must be some clips involved or they might have put in some rivets when you didn't watch.

Well then, are you not OK with a 3rd party bodykit even if he gets you swapped with it? I think that is the point now because obviously (i assume) you didn't pay extra to get the original Honda access modulo bodykits. And depending on whether he told you it will be an original kit, i don't think you have a case to argue for an original modulo bodykit. SA should know better than to tell people some white lies to get sales in my opinion.

I didn't get the entire urban or whatever package they offered because i didn't like some items on it especially the illuminated side steps and the upgraded grill. I got the tailgate spoilers separately and the pedals. The spoilers are something like RM7xx and the pedal was something under RM2xx. I found the pedals in honda spare parts stockist for around RM120 which meant they mark up about RM50 or so if i remember correctly. I decided to let them earn the money as it is not an easy thing to install which requires some drilling work on the original pedal base itself to get it fitted.

I think a lot of the bodykit nowadays rely on clips. So, it is possible that it involves no drilling. I bought an original side skirt meant for the previous fully imported Jazz and to my horror it won't go onto my car because there was no holes punched on the chassis to allow for the clips from the original side skirt to go in.

So, even 3rd party ones might have copied everything down to the clip locations properly instead of relying on screws and rivets like bodykits (of poor quality) of the past.

LED lighting is a bit lala beng'ish isn't it? The blue ones?

Oh, as for my original boot tray. That takes the award for ultra late delivery. I only got it after my 5km service (which is 3 months). Of course, i was fickle minded and only ordered it at the last minute right after i settled for the downpayment of the car, asked for additional accessories and some weeks later, i decided i want to boot tray as well after researching the 3rd party ones which is slightly cheaper but seems more flimsy to me. (My car took 4 months for delivery, i had a lot of time in between booking and receiving it)

5k revs? Throttle flat to the floor shift at 6k++revs. After 3 upshifts already got some smell if your aircond is not in recirculation mode.

Normal la. It's the smell from your your catalytic converter. No worrries about it.

What to jelly about? It's a diesel lar. Hence the torque numbers. Unless you going to haul tree logs with it. Don't see the selling point.

As i say, if you are not hauling a tree log, camper, or a truck load of fat people. It is as good as nothing.

Your car has got friends? That is kinda mind boggling...

What mods? F

Fit rs L15B with 6 speed tranny swap?

K swap?

6 pot 330mm bbk?

Transformer bodykits?

Intake and exhaust mods?

BS... they butthurt cos no comission. Just do it and get your warranty from a different 3s (i am assuming yours is a 3s)

Each center has got a different panel tint shop. How would they know which will void and which will not. If anything at all, all tints should be voided as long as HM didn't tint it at assembly.

Furthermore, what could it void? Just the door and power windows. They can't total void the entire car

I meant to say if your 3s says brand A tint is their panel. How does another 3s in another location know of this unless it is a fully local Honda Malaysia policy?

Hence, you will be able to circumvent the ruling by claiming any faults with car from another 3s that does not have brand a as their panel other than the one you bought it from.

Doesn't it sound illogical?

3M is a premier tint, i won't comment against it. But if you can afford it, the question is why not. The is also other tints that are not too bad for a slightly higher price compared to those cheapest ones.

If your worry is about heat rejection, go and study about the measurement units involved and you will be able to judge the brands by yourself.

No i mean if you are worried about the value for money. Then you might actually want to look into how solar films are actually graded versus their pricing. You might want to look into values like UV % rejection, IR % rejection and TSER as that will give you a good idea of how effective the film is at rejecting heat going into your passenger cabin. Then you decide from there whether it is worth it for the price you are being asked to pay.

I don't want to be telling you which brand to use because i didn't survey the market. But, there is always many other brands that are in the middle but still below 3M, Huper Optik, Llumar, Vkool price ranges like Raytech, Ecotint, Wintech, Cool World among the few that i have heard of before.

Security film on the other hand is a bit different as you need to decide on the film thickness on top of the heat rejection performance.

Uh, by how much you expect and what advantage other than better looks?

10 years? Even if you own your car that long. The dealer might have disappeared and will not honor it or some sort.
