one of the idiot honda salesperson tells me the paint ' weak' cause of the lack of attention on the cu2 and that because the oz sun is stronger it will have a tendancy to fade out or bake quicker then the previous honda models.
If you're stuck with the auto (like me), there's not much you can do to get more performance... the K24 doesn't have much torque compared to smaller turbo engines and the manual's gearing seems to be better matched to make the most of the top-end power.
CAI would improve the sound and increase power a tiny bit. A full exhaust system with new headers, cats and piping could make more power and make the engine sound even better, but don't expect big gains. Frankly it's a pain tuning these NA cars compared to turbo cars which immediately benefit from chipping, a less restrictive intake and exhaust system.
I was thinking of getting a similar nav system but I freaked out when the local installer messed up my xenon kit, no way in hell was he gonna touch the internal electricals It's some local China brand so don't expect OEM quality. It splices into the CANBUS system to allow climate control display. The DVD player unit goes in the empty space in front of the shifter, like the original factory installed Navi system. Do Kenwood or Pioneer make an aftermarket unit that fits?

Was this while they were trying to sell you paint protection? It's only the Milano Red colour that goes chalky if it is parked outside all the time, and paint protection doesn't really do much to stop that. Get a colour other than red. The Honda paint is pretty soft though, just need to use a good sealant (you can apply yourself and save hundreds) and take care when washing it (all microfibre).
improve the breathing? get an exhaust and air filter
This won't do much at all performance-wise. Changing the exhaust will just change the sound of the car to be more fart-like. You need an ECU reflash to get any performance benefit, but it won't be great since as said before this is a non-turbo car. The stock exhaust is already quite good.
Recently i just bought a new honda accord euro build 2012 MY 13.. I got myself genuine Modulo skirt, aero rear bumper, ducktail spoiler, tinting (darkest legal tint), tinted windows visor, as well as sill garnish at the side of the doors. They are all from dealer itself when i collect the car.
