Advice: Exterior Mod to Recognize Your Si When Lost in Parking Lot

Heres a modern problem associated with old age: couldnt remember where i parked (general area but not row or space) - im not that far gone... couldnt recognize my own Red Si Sedan in the sea of other similar colored and shaped vehicles as i walked past it twice not seeing it (oh, the shame...)

What exterior mod would help give me something that i could recognize. (Jack-In-the-Box antennae ball will work this time.)

Already have rear window vents and spoiler but i clearly glanced over it not recognizing her.

Not looking to put side skirts or spend $$$$ unless its for better glasses. So, less than $200.

Heres what she looks like, any idea would be appreciated...



Will delete posting when i get a solution OR it gets more than 3 pages

Personal decal. Like a logo of something. $3 add on...

Red badges & smoked side markers, red calipers might also help. Just some small touches to set you out from the "herd", been there, done that. Mine's a white coupe, so that helps, I also have the small CivicX.com stickers on the rear quarter windows.

You could just hit the red panic button on your keyfob or lock/unlock multiple times to see and hear where your car is.. it’s free no exterior mods needed.

Using bluetooth my phone will automatically track where I park. If I ever forget where I parked I can just open Apple Maps and press on Parked Car to find it. If you use Android I'm sure it can do the same.

Park at the back of the lot away from everything and walk?

My wife said the same thing, you must be married.... simple, easy, beneficial solution but... will use in case of emergency.

I would have thought your roof spoiler would have been enough...

I mean, how many red, 10th gen Si's with rear window louvers and roof spoiler would be on the same parking lot?

Also, you're scaring me that you're driving and saying you really can't see very well.

My recommendation... mod your eyes with new glasses!

Lol, Just got my new prescription and makes driving incredible, I can see peoples faces and their agitation as I pass them bye.... but alas the sea of cars at parked at Sams Club, Whole Foods, and Home Depot etc... spoiler and window vents are too small to notice at a distance. Maybe I should drive around with those Reindeer Antlers you see on cars during the holidays with the Red Nose on the Grille? I wonder if they make a "devilish" version? Maybe just an old fashioned "54" or "XX" number on the door sides?

Great feature! Kind of big brother and scary in a sense.

I will also add for the OP...in a sea of white, black, and grey/silver cars...I find Aegean Blue Metallic sticks out in the parking lot...no need for exterior mods to spot my vehicle. I'd imagine people in Energy Green or Tonic won't have a problem spotting their cars either lol

full body flame wrap. you know you wanted it when you were younger..

Love the idea!! We live to dream, but if i COULD do it, i would make it look like a "hot wheel" toy car i had circa 1976-ish. Now the reality is its too far out of pocket for a non perfomance mod.

My god... this is a actually conversation. First world problems at their finest.


"My car! I cant find my car! Oh there it is right where i left it."
