Proud New Owner of a 2019 Civic Si Coupe in Platinum White Pearl!

Thank you! I completely agree, the visibility is excellent. I also sit decently close to the pedals because I have shorter legs. So the B pillar is nowhere in my way. The only complaint I have is that the wing takes up 1/3 of the rearview mirror, who am I kidding, that's a benefit!

Hello all,

Have been somewhat active on this forum for the past few months as I was doing some forum research on cars I was looking at buying. But I brought home a 2019 Coupe Si just yesterday, my first new car! Previously was driving a 2009 Acura TSX and wow what a difference.

Just wanted to introduce myself and proudly say this is what I decided on and I absolutely love the car. Excited to be a part of this community as well! First up is swapping out those awful orange side markers and probably some tint within the next few weeks. Will be staying stock for a while power-wise.

When driving at night, you will find that the wing IS a benefit ... as it blocks a great deal of headlight glare from the cars behind you (except for the bubba trucks).

Also, your comment about white being the best color could be a bit inflammatory ... as I believe the Modern Steel Metallic is the best color! (and owners of the blue, red, black, green, yellow will all attest that THEIR cars color is the best ... LOL)

Congrats on the new ride!

I'm curious, why you went with the '19 Coupe Si, instead of the '20 Coupe Si?
(not a bad choice, just a mere curiosity)

Thank you! Coupes unite!!

I'm going to take it easy on power mods, I may get an intake in the new few months and possibly an exhaust. I'm just ordered some new sidemarkers to get rid of that awful contrasting orange. I'll get tint in the next month or so too. For now I'll just be small visual mods on the exterior and interior. Probably a chrome delete on the outside, maybe a Type R armrest and eventually wheels/tires and tune once I don't feel bad about negating my warranty.

I have one sitting in my room, I just need some decent weather so I can wash it and get under there and install it. It's been so cold and snowy recently, I haven't had time to install it yet. But don't worry, it's coming soon!

I will agree that the Platinum White Pearl is way cooler up close than the White Orchid. But from a distance it’s still white.
