Default slightly OT: want the FI opinion

id post this in members corner, but 95% of my posts are done here, so most of you guys know me. i have a 2000 civic Si, completely debadged, even had my rear H shaved and holes filled, welded and repainted. no DOHC, no VTEC, no SI, no CIVIC, no front H.

but lately ive been getting the idea to just toss one little silver emblem on there, put an "HX" or "DX" badge on the back of my turbo beast. what do you guys think. i think it would be a nasty wake up call for alot of people.

I like my stock HF badge......no one ever suspects. Most people can't see the blacked-out FMIC(behind grill guard) and the 3" exhaust tucked just out of sight behind the back bumper. Having a sleeper is good Usually keeps the rice boys at bay.

whatever you can do to sucker more people into racing you is a good idea, thats why i dont wash my car, try using a Hyundai Pony badge on your car, your bound to sucker a freshie with his AEM intake.

I still have the civic cx sticker on the back of my hy hybrid 95 hatchback. I also kept the stock muffler in place, but took all the rest of the exhaust piping and just run a 3" open downpipe. My intercooler is almost completely hidden behind the bumper, so no one even suspects my hatch having anything more than a bad exhaust leak.

stick an "EX" badge on there, then cut the "SI" into 2 letters and make your car say "SEXI" . Haha, j/k, my friend did that and we all clown him for it.

Leave it blank, you paid the money in the first place to have it all debadged, so leave it clean like that

What color is your Si? Blue? Then there's no point, everybdoy knows what it is. If it's another color, hey, do whatever you want. Could be funny.

I tell people that I'm stock all the time. I'm not, I just say that, and then I say "it's all driver". I'm going to do that when I get my turbo put in. "yeah, it's stock, I was just whistling, not a BOV.

Leave it badgless. Mine's blue and I *still* took all that **** off (including the rear H, had it filled just like you). You'd be amazed how many people assume I'm stock... even the tech guy at the track this weekend (who was looking RIGHT at the intercooler) said "mostly stock?" I just nodded and drove a "mostly stock" Civic to a 13.5. Fuggit... EV.

For those of us that wax our cars, badgeless is easier.

If you really want a sleeper, slap a jrsc sticker on your car...everyone will know how fast you are then...hehe.
