Happy Blessed Chinese New Year to all of you guys. Sorry I haven't been online for a while.

It's a Mugen spoiler, alright but for a Civic. I've seen these spoilers used on the previous Cities and I must say it looks fugly... since the size and design does not go well with the previous City.

As others have mentioned, it's a brake caliper cover and it does not have any use except to increase the bling-bling factor(look good for some people, not me). I strongly advised not to put it as excessive heat may melt the cheap plastic cover over your current calipers.

Say, anyone planning on chaning their air filter element(but not the whole air box) soon? I'm researching to check whether the size is different from the previous city and current jazz.

I tot so but the 09's got my attention. Anyway, everyone is entitled to their own opinion

I recommend the same detailer as cryptchid that is Meguiars as they are one of the best in town when it comes to paint detailing. Usually paints that they sprayed on the car that came out of the factory tend to have that "orange peel" effect as you just pointed out. This can be remedied with professional polishing.

You can send to Glenmarie SC instead of Jln 222.

I'm anxious to see how the Mugen bodykit will turn out. My guess on the spoiler will be very similar to the Honda Insight rather than the one used on the civic.

The overall appearance of the facelifted Civic from the previous is a small difference in my point of view.

Err... what do you mean " it might be bigger"?

ic ic... yup, it's true... I heard people saying prices of new cars will be going up.

Perhaps it last longer? But apart from that, yup... it's just a bling bling factor....
