Si parts for my EXT civic... oooohhh

wow..si badge and even the si grill for his.... ex-t

why didnt you just buy a si instead of going through the trouble of having to do all this work to make your ex-t a fake si?

I had a Si 2013 and I had insurance claim on hood and windshield damage. But 2 days before the repair I sold my Si and bought this EXT in 2016. So ever since the dealer body shop had $1600 In credit just sitting. So I used it.. Free money buying Honda parts. I want a new Si but I'm not paying m srp. I will wait for 21k in January. or buy a Focus ST.. I don't know

But you are one to talk, rims, hatch grill, jdm H Type R emblem.. cough cough

because you dont want better looking wheels than the ugly ex-t wheels...plus lighter wheels? a 'plain' gloss black grill thats suitable for all trims to get rid of the ugly chrome? and whats wrong with a red jdm emblem...not like i slapped a type r badge when my car isnt one

i think the whole thing of making your ex-t into a fake si went right over your head

It's just Si parts on my EXT as described.

Jdm H is exclusively for the TypeR.. It's no different than what I'm doing. Black grill is a Si / hatch trait. Your wheels are typical rice which I like.. Turbo decal from Canada. You're like that fat girl that makes fun of fat girls.. lol

One thing I don't understand is if you're set on getting an Si in January on the cheap or a Focus ST so soon, then why bother sinking a dime into your current car? Sure you have free credit... But that could be put towards your new car too.

I'll also say this about the depreciation/resale part. Adding Si OEM parts won't decrease the value on tangible parts, but I can assure you that someone looking at your car on Craigslist will notice something fishy since it has the CVT/decklid spoiler. Never assume ignorance with others until they actually display it.

I just raise the price .. So if I was asking 18k I will just ask 18,300 with the spoiler.. At this point I'm having fun. I will just keep and enjoy it. Maybe sell it in Jan-March and buy a Si. If I had a Si the only thing I would do is put Red H emblems on it. Maybe tint. I had to use or lose my credit so I bought things to sell and use for both my cars.

I would be surprised if you got a Si and didnt put a Type-R emblem on it.

No but a Sport hatch I would... lol. At a glance even for us a Sport Hatch with emblems, tint and TypeR wing gives a 40-50k look. That is going to be a very popular mod I think. Everyone is popping on the Red Emblems and wishing they had the TypeR. That's no different than the TypeR emblem. It's all exclusively TypeR badging. Which OEM Honda parts I agree with but putting fake China parts on your cars I find flat stupid. Lol

Follow the daily updated garages. Everyone is TypeR badging, TypeR steering wheels are popping up and soon as painted TypeR wings are $200 on Ebay.. 50% will do it on Sports. You watch.. You can't stop it.

Putting on a red H emblem isn't really like putting on an Si badge. The red emblem just looks better for a lot of red, black, and white Civics. No one outside the Honda scene knows/cares that the red H emblem comes from one particular trim that's never been outside of Europe/Japan until now.

Meanwhile if you put an Si badge on your base Civic, you're literally misleading people. I can only imagine the look of disappointment when someone climbs in after seeing the Si badge and notices there's a missing pedal.

Anyone that knows what Si means definitely know what TypeR red H emblems are. They are exclusively TypeR.. Its absolutely no different than popping a Si badge on. It's a Type R part number. And Si doesn't mean what it use to as it's maybe .5 sec faster 0-60 than a standard 1.5t civic. So you're wasting your time as my parts keep coming and the Si parts will be added no matter what. Your words of ignorance isn't going to change my mind. Actually since you paid 25-26k for your Si just remember you could have bought a WRX for that price or a Focus ST for 20k.

This is like buying a civic and telling people it's an Infiniti red sport 400.
