I am surprised, not a dealer in Bangalore has Mugen style window visor!!!
It's probably easier and more comfortable to buy things of ebay now days...

Still I'm not able to source the same for CIVIC, but easily available for other cars(Like DZire, n SX4) in JC Road Bangalore.
So will be getting from Delhi I feel.

While I am at it, I constantly get bogged down by so many friends and relatives asking me not to spoil the classy and stunning design of the stock car. I am in a fix and not able to decide whether to go for the points 1, 3 & 4.

Yes each has his own taste.
I agree with "so many of your friends and relatives of your's" too.
Smoked headlights n matte black alloys will not look good on a bluish Silver Civic.

I don't have idea on the pricing part, just give a try in JC Road , you should be able to source them.

Recently I got my car fitted with Side step garnish with Lights from JC Road shop(don't know the shop name), many shops did have them(Cars shringar, car n style, but price quoted was high).
Got them fitted for 2200Rs including fitting.

1. USB/Aux Port - The dealer said its not possible to fit in older Civics

3. Rear Boot Spoiler - 23400; Lip Spoiler - Not available in India for Civic
4. Leather Seats & Door Trim - 38000
After hearing the above, I was like .

Why not order some of the stuff from Civic 2007-9 (FD) -

Will work out cheaper.

Ah, you are at the wrong place!
Why on earth would you go to the dealer for all these accessories?

Get 3M film from outside from an authorized 3M dealer.
Leather seats from Stanley leather.

Sushrutha, I checked up everywhere, Mugen style window visor is not available in Bangalore, seems to be out of stock everywhere.

Any experiences on buying from here?
How does Shipping and customs work out? I guess shipping will be huge for spoiler or bumper kind of items...

I don't have any experience on buying here but there are people on the same thread who have dealt with them and seem happy. Search for rstyle.

With regards to the order process, just login and add what you want to the cart and leave it. You will get an invoice with the shipping costs in a day or 2. Then you pay with paypal.

I have the following to be ordered and here is the invoice I got is:

Many thanks for the link patron. I will browse and see what suits my taste there.

No, I wasn't trying to fix them with the dealer. I just checked the prices to compare how it stacks up with the outside world.

Guys

With my recent purchase of pre-worshiped Civic, I am drooling already at the wicked beauty. Still I want to complete the shape with a Type R spoiler. I am a kind of guy who believes in form following function. So I just need a clarification from you guys whether the speed characteristics improve with track bred Type R spoiler nor its just a dead weight bolted on to the boot. My worst fear is the replicas spoiling the comfortable high speed cruises.

Also what would be the pricing of the same. If anyone could suggest, please let me know some good aftermarket dealer in Hyderabad. Very difficult to find one.

Not sure if the point 1 has been answered or you have found a solution.

Aux-in can be installed in your 07 Civic. The Aux-in port can be accessed from the back side of the HU. One needs to open the dash. It has been done as a DIY by fellow BHPian @Hiren.Mistry and there are some posts on the DIY by @ImmortalZ. I am also planning to do this soon.

That's great news dot. I have somehow missed the DIY by ImmortalZ and will try to check them up. I badly need a Aux-in as its too painful to copy music CDs and have it in stock. The SA at the dealership said its better not to touch Hondas as the company does not recommend opening whats coming in from the factory. I was surprised by what he said but then left it at that.

Probably an OT on this thread; thanks to @mdsaab, we found a local guy who gets problem HUs from Honda and repairs them. Last time we visited this person, he showed me two Civic HUs which had jammed carousel. Both were sent to him by the Honda A.S.S. He can install the Aux-in cable also. Even though it is a DIY, I am planning to spend 30 minutes with him and get it done. In case this happens soon, will post some pictures.

Spoilers handling capability come into work when the car is in very high speed(around 180kmph+), at this speed, downforce is created through the spoiler(very well designed one).
If you want the spoliers just for the look then put it. Else it would be just a dead weight on the boot ( If you don't drive in excess of 180kmph, it doesn't server the purpose)

The price quoted by the dealer for the sun film is for sure a rip-off. I spent 6.5K for the CR70 (front windshield) and 5.3K for RE35 (for the sides and rear). Also, when I checked last month, the price quoted for the spoiler was 20K (including painting). Which dealer is this by the way ? If you need any help, please PM me.

Thanks for the inputs. Plonking in for Mugen RR replica.
