Coming from a 9th I was worried how I would respond to this new SI but all my worries were unfounded. Obviously this is my opinion but it's better in every single way. I'm 35 and love the more mature feel and look of the car compared to the 9th. No contest really.

Small mods so far:
LED interior lighting
Smoked markers with orange LED
Yellow fog overlays
Red JDM badges (front, rear, wheel)
Honda OEM All Season high wall mats
Morimoto H11 Low beam 2 stroke LED bulbs
Debadged the civic emblem
Tinted Windows
Black Gloss Vinyl Roof
Type R Shift Knob
Leather center console / door arm rests
HFP front lip painted black
HFP side skirts
Injen CAI
Acuity Cable Bushings

I completely agree with you. I also came from a 9th gen si which I absolutely loved. This 10th gen is better in every way. It handles better, the power is more consistent, it definitely feels more peppy than the 9th gen. I havent even gotten on mine yet, still only 200 miles on it. But I've immediately noticed the nice low to mid end power compared to the k24. Loving all of the features as well. The styling of the vehicle looks much better in person. Definitely a much more grown up performance variant of the si's of old. There's not a single thing I dislike about this car so far. Except the very small rock chip I already have in the front bumper from driving on the highway. I too am 35 and could not be happier with my purchase. Plus my payment is only 100$ more a month for that much more of a car. Loving the new si!! Also kudos for already starting to mod. All I've done so far is put a few coats of xylon on the paint and wheels.

Congrats! How much were those smoked signals and were they hard to install?

Think I paid $25 for them on eBay and took about 5 mins to install them. They're simple.

They appear to be real who knows. They look legit but if they're not I'm not too worried about it. Quality is fine and I'm not that OCD. I've watched videos on spotting differences and they seem to be fine. I had same ones on my 9th for 3 years and never had a single issue so YMMV



Where did you buy your red JDM badges?

Congrats on the Si! I just purchased the exact same one this past Saturday!

Because I'm planning to do similar mods, which LED bulbs did you get for the interior? Also, which yellow fog overlays did you get?
