Default Project: SI

Hey guys, Im about to start on a new project. My goal is to turn my 2000 civic ex into a stock (for now) Si. I just wanted some feedback on what I would need for oem parts to make my Ex an Si. Here is what I got so far..


Motor
Transmission
Ecu
Gauge Cluster
Front/Rear sway bars
Brake booster
Brakes front/rear
Front Grill
Foglights (Already have)
Spoiler (Already have)
Front lip
Painted side skirts (Already have)
DOHC VTAAAAAK sticker (Already have)
Rear Lip
Seats (Already have)
Wheels (Already have)

Is there anything else I am missing from the list that I should add to make it an SI or anything that I should take off? Thanks for the input guys!

from your list your set i think you would of been better of just buying a SI. With all the money spend to get all the stock part to change over.

I know it would be easier and cheaper to buy an Si, but thats the thing. I want to Build/transform my car into one. It just feels better in the end.

I think your extremely far from your goal considering you have the wing and stickers... and no motor yet.

ok, I'm only half kidding, I just hope the sticker is not installed unless you have a swap.

It will be lowered in the spring, but its raised because of winter/snow, but as you can see, there is none!
