Honda Civic Modulo kit for the 2009 facelift
With the update of the Civic to the latest facelifted generation in Malaysia, Honda has introduced a matching Modulo kit to go with it. Above is how the new Civic facelift with the bigger grille and Type R-ish bumper looks like with the Modulo bits slapped on.
The whole package consists of a front lip, a rear lip and side skirts with a trunk spoiler to finish it off, costing a total of RM 5,000 which you can package into your hire purchase loan. In addition, other than the package there are some other separate bits like an illuminated side step for RM 690 and a trunk tray for RM 330.
With the Modulo kit added, the OTR prices become RM 119,980 and RM 134,980 for the Civic 1.8S and Civic 2.0S respectively. Look after the jump for the individual bits including individual pricing.
Honda Civic Modulo Front lip – RM 1,240
Honda Civic Modulo Rear lip – RM 1,340
Honda Civic Modulo Side skirts – RM 1,340
Honda Civic Modulo Trunk spoiler – RM 1,190
Honda Civic Modulo Trunk tray – RM 330
Honda Civic Modulo Illuminated Side Steps – RM 690

lol kinda expensive!
March 19, 2009 @ 4:55 pm
cool
March 19, 2009 @ 4:56 pm
can get better ones elsewhere, and cheaper….
March 19, 2009 @ 5:06 pm
It’s hard to know it is expensive. But factory fitted and under warranty.
March 19, 2009 @ 5:18 pm
The previous version looks much more original and looks expensive. The RM690 illuminate side step picture has inserted the wrong one.
March 19, 2009 @ 5:42 pm
Cool.. Nice..
BUT..
Damn… too expensive .. Civic 1.3 Hybrid underpowered ?
March 19, 2009 @ 6:24 pm
mahal nak mampos!
ridiculous~

Personally don’t like the previous Modulo kit for Civic.
The new kit we see here is no major different with the previous, except the front grill, which makes Civic (06) looks a bit more relative to the City (09) and Accord (09).
Dislike the rear lip since day one, side skirt does not visually impress, as if it’s not there, the rear wing, sigh, the car looks even better without it. To be very honest, the front lip is the only that shows effort and creativity. Good job there.
Basically Modulo is not a bad choice, if you wanna give the car a little bit attitude and remain sophisticated (I mean executive class) and not-so-ah-beng.
IMHO, the Mugen kit still the perfect match for Civic. Although some people criticize that Evo-like rear wing when it first came into the market. I’ve seen many racer boys including friend of mine, go for Mugen lip skirt and replace the rear wing with Module one. That way the car is remains low profile. Nonetheless still racey.

someone commented in the peugeot 308 bodykit post that offering a body kit is a sign of a model not selling well. wonder where is that person now?

Converted into Type R? Unless you turbo charge it, else theoretically nowhere near the performance of R. If turbo on, you will smoke R with your eco-friendly dust. I like that idea.
Possibly this car can be easily transformed into a Type R look, since there are so many Type R replica kit for regular Civic. Dimension of Hybrid version should not be any different with regular version.
But, if you are serious, I strongly recommend this page, Paul’s article on Modulo concept kit for Hybrid Civic.

In one word, AWESOMENESS.

Nice car… been ride in this car before, very comfortable and spacious..
March 19, 2009 @ 8:36 pm
y dun they transform the normal civic to type R 1 ??
like Mercedes transform their CLK to the Black Series ..
March 19, 2009 @ 9:27 pm
RM 134,980…RM 141 000 can get you the Honda Accord 2.0 which is larger, smaller bits, has the same R engine, may be less powerful due to power to weight ratio, but its not like you are buying a Type-R right
March 19, 2009 @ 9:44 pm
BTW Civic 2.0 uses the K engine, not the Accord 2.0’s R Engine.

what are the differences?? may i know?
March 19, 2009 @ 10:22 pm
Two different families. K series is DOHC, R series is SOHC, tuned more for fuel economy than power. You can read up on the R series here, the story talks about the 1.8 liter version but the 2.0 is the same with an increased displacement:

So,is it better to get the normal 2.0 or a white hybrid if i want to convert to Type-R??is the Civic Hybrid any good??
March 20, 2009 @ 1:04 pm
total RM set bodykit…boleh buat duit muka keta baru.
March 20, 2009 @ 4:59 pm
Damn sad man, honda knows we cant afford type R as the premium models itself is priced too expensive enough for them to make mountains of money. I mean come on bodykit for RM 5k is totaly ridiculous, its like spending more money to turn a boxter to a 911, sure it will look a bit different from the rest of the civic owners but deep down inside all you can think off is why … why did i spend this much money to look like a poser instead. If the civic performance increases in hp ,torque, or at least becomes a more precision aerodynamic advance weapon then its money well spent. I think you guys could come up with a better bodykit design man that probably makes this thing look like false plastic.

Price is high coz due to Excise duty, Sales tax & Import duty.
Go to http://www.maa.org.my and check out the Duty Structure and you will know.
Not only Japanese Car, Continental Car also the same.
Example (cars up to 1800cc)
Excise duty is 75%
Import duty is 10%
Sales tax is 10%
Without these stupid duties, we will probably afford better quality cars that will save us money in the long run (i.e. fuel & maintenance) compared to our own makes! See in Labuan or Langkawi the price is about RM72K for 1.8 and RM81K for 2.0.
Not critical but just practical and realistic!!
March 20, 2009 @ 7:01 pm
Sui wor……
March 21, 2009 @ 12:34 am
it’s expensive, but hibrid is so praktical and safe your money, u can buy the modulo bodykit in many accessory shop.it’s more cheaper.
March 21, 2009 @ 6:47 am
So basically it is the same car with a factory body kit. Kinda of a lame attempt to refresh the model. At least give it a facelift. So this mod-dude-lo will have all the additional weight but no additional go. They should have at least strap on a low pressure turbo to make it somewhere between the type R and the standard version.

Reply to quak58. This thread is about the modulo kit for 2009 facelift. Although not much things changed, the new civic indeed is a facelift to the initial one released in 2006. Read more here

ya….agree….if not because of tax,we should able to buy a better car….haizzzz…y y y!!!i like civic so much till i need to save 75% income 2 own it……..damn expensive….09 facelift-cool

Modulo kit doesn’t change the civic desing much and cosidring the price you are paying for it, your civic should look very different.
Safe the money and use it to upgrade the interior for the 1.8 or use it to get a better Kit.
I just test drove the Altis 1.8 G and its interior design beats the civic 1.8.
The Altis offers 6 cd changer, tinted and security flim, side signal lights, and the back seats come down. Will it kill Honda to offer these features for the 1.8. Honda expects you to spend another RM15K just to upgrade to 2.0 and have these features. Its like the civic 1.8 exterior was design by world class designer and the interior was design by a cheap old Malaysian man trying to make as much profit as possible.

Don’t expect car tax or interest rate to go down, now that Dr.M is back in the picture. He has his precious Proton to protect.
