So my "guy" got back to me, well his wife did (they run the business together) She told me that they couldn't order any new bushings or strut bars for my '08 because they "haven't been made yet". Then told me to check back in a few months. All of the parts listed as 06+ should fit right? She has got to smokin' somethin, right??

With this being said, i know that there are electrical differences (TPMS, etc.) but aren't the gear box and chasis the same?

I'm gunna get back to HIM and see what HE thinks. What say YOU???

I am pretty sure they are identical.

 

Search it alot of people keep asking this. From what ive read they are the exact same except for some of the ECU updates which 06 and 07 civics can be updated with at the dealership. Any aftermarket parts for the 06 and 07 will fit and 08 but if the person working at the autoparts place doesnt know that and puts 08 civic into there system they dont get anything because its so new.

 

yes they are the same.. dont worry about it.. only diff is minor stuff

 

the only thing other then tpms is that the 08's have a heat shield around the oil filter thats it, 06-07 by what i know do not

No they don't.

 

11224-RRB-000 BAFFLE, OIL FILTER HEAT

It's not new for '08 though.

 

OK...yeah...there's that lol. That's not a heat shield though.

 

anything you order for your car will be fine if its from a 06-07-08

 

I don't know if this will help but when I went to get a K&N drop in filter I just got the one for the 06 si and it works fine on my 08

 

so there is no big different between 07 and 08 Honda civic models?

correct

 

just the year. i believe the wheel color changes every year

 

A bunch of little stuff. '08's have a shift boot with red stitching...really minor stuff... all parts are able to be swapped, between years.

 

For some reason the 08Si headlight part numbers are different from the 06Si and 07Si part numbers.

yea i noticed that too today when i went to get the prices on them. i wonder why...
maybe something diff in the back of the housing or maybe the mirror has a small change? hell idk... those are the only reasons i can think of the part # being different
