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.

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. So basically it is the same car with a factory body kit.

Go to 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!! Price is high coz due to Excise duty, Sales tax & Import duty.

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.
