Total damage- 72K

Congratulations. Can you provide the break up please? Any noticeable difference in NVH? The Car Cupid guy in Pune is suggesting me 2 layers of damping for doors if I am upgrading the speakers.
Is the wiring concealed enough for front and rear dash camera?

One of my cousin is planning to buy the Honda City Petrol, but he is also worried about the bouncing effect on the rear passengers, due to very soft suspension. Is there any way to stiffen the rear suspension and who can do it? He is in Chennai.

I am not sure whether it's so much of problem. I do not have any such complaints from my family /friends.

I don't have the exact break up
Speakers (4) ~ 24750
Damping ~ 7000
Dash cam+rear cam - 12700
Seat cover and other works - 22000
Remaining are labor and other parts required for the installation

I have been driving the 5th Gen City for close to 3 years now. Completed approx. 30K kms. I have driven the car in 600km radius of Pune on good and bad highways, with family and a full boot. Never have I heard any complaints from rear seat passengers on any sort of vertical/bouncy effect. The only feedback I have received is - "sofa like seats, lots of legroom, very spacious and comfortable." I usually do not drive beyond 100kmph.

I have read that installing "Rogerabs" on front and rear suspension stiffens the suspension, not specific for Honda City but in general.

Here are few pictures of seat cover+steering cover+dashboard trim, centre console trim, doorpads, and arm rest work:










Brand: Imperial Leathers, Bangalore
Type: Montana
Cost: 22K
Review: Excellent (except couple of minor issues). Now interior looks pretty close to ZX variant.

I will post separate detailed review in the Imperial thread.

The interiors look fantastic, a job well done. Just curious, what were the couple of minor issues?

Have travelled around Mumbai toward Nashik, Pune and Konkan, but we haven't experienced a bouncy effect. May be he can take a longer test ride with his family in the back seat and check in person.

Bro, Honda's dont have soft/bouncy suspenssion systems ever. They don't build their cars that way. Surely your rear shockers are shot and not damping/rebounding properly as a result.
Even cars which typically have softer suspension systems than Hondas, like Hyundai, Maruti, etc don't exactly have a "bouncy" effect unless you have a suspension issue. Hope this helps.

I understand yours is the petrol CVT. So even the petrol car is noisy? Or is it the outside noise coming in?

My 4th gen diesel pre-facelift sounds like a tractor.

The engine noise is not much. If I drive with a light foot, the engine is barely audible. On full throttle, it does make noise, but that sounds sporty. What bothers me is the road noise and other outside noise.

How advisable would it be to install solutions like rogerabs on a car like honda city and what could be the side effects?

Reason for considering: only if it helps in increasing the ground clearance.

Thanks! minor issues are
1) Finishing around the airbag cutout could have been better
2) You can see that small part of wiring sleeve is exposed at the rear bottom corners of the front seat (yellow color).

Can someone please help me with wiper blade size for my ZX CVT? I am getting two options online 26 & 18 / 24 & 16?

Thanks in advance!

Correct size is 26" and 14". Don't opt for Schaeffler brand, I fitted it in my car and it is bad.

I am thinking adding rear spoiler for my City. Honda dealer quoted 14.5 K including installation. It requires drilling and bit concerned about it. What are the precautions to take before fitting to prevent rust and water leakage?
