How many do NOT mod their Si what-so-ever???

[Genuine]

I'm an OEM genuine parts type of guy (hence my display name), therefore all of my "mods" have consisted of parts from other markets (Japan, Europe, etc). I truly enjoy Honda in it's purest form and fully respect others' choices. There's just something about a clean stock looking Honda outfitted with rare/discontinued OEM parts. To each their own.

Can you elaborate? I've been researching and trying to make a plan for my 2019 SI Coupe. What's your story?

the clutch is weak af. it started slipping, it was going to cost about 2k to upgrade it, I was about to do it, but the car was a lease. so i sold it to carvana they gave me more than what was owed. if the clutch never started slipping I wouldve never even thought about selling it. it was super fun with that tune though. if you do any modding just know you will need a clutch.

That's great info! Thank you. That's what I've been thinking too.
KTuner
350 Clutch
drop in K&N
Better Tires
I want to keep it looking and sounding pretty much stock.

If I were not to mod the SI I would have never bought it and bought something faster instead.

How much did they give you btw?

I will admit the $1200 clutch replacement was not on my radar this early into owning my Si. But I'm glad I did it. The one thing holding the vehicle back is no longer an issue and I can push it even further now.

when they bought mine they didnt have any si coupes on their site and only 1 si. thats probably why they paid me so much.

I don't plan on modding mine other than (potentially) getting an intake. I'd love a tune, even though the car is quick enough for my needs and desires, but I don't want to deal with getting a new clutch. And I like the peace-of-mind that Honda left held back on HP/TQ for reliability purposes.

I think the car is darn good aesthetically so anything I'd want to change has already been accounted for on the stock version. It looks relatively low, rims are very nice...I guess I would love some LEDs from the Touring but don't wan to spend the $$$.

That's just me personally. I've modded my cars in the past and it was great fun.

i haven't modded mine at all since it's a lease and i don't know what i'm going to do with it when my lease is up. at least i have ~20 months left to figure it out.

Ditto - will be fun to see what else is on the market by that point.

I'm kinda kicking myself for not opting for the CTR. Live and learn I guess. Ill probably end up building the Si up to/past a stock CTR, so in the end it'll all be okay.

That's a very good deal! I would probably take that. I punched my info in and only got about 18k. But last year they offered 22k for it though.

No plans to modify mine. I've gone down that road with many cars before though. I admit that it was a good time the first few goes. But by the end of each past "project" I had spent A LOT of money and came out the other end with a car that was compromised in terms of comfort, reliability, and resale value. The older I get, the more those trade-offs don't make sense.

My Si is just my daily/beater (that i'm falling in love with), so I've kept it stock except for a mishimoto intake that adds no power, just sounds nice.
I really don't wanna have TWO modified cars so I'll probably keep the Si forever stock..

Well I've tinted the windows and put oem 2018 Accord wheels on mine besides that she's bone stock. The only actual modification I have considered is the hondata or Ktuner I would like a little more balls under the hood for my more spirited drives, but I am concerned about it affecting reliability. So needless to say I'm on the fence.
