All depends on what you want and what will make you happy. Id do it personally... 3500 will make that a fast lil hatch

id get the STI but im a college student and can really afford to put payments of 299-350 a month for a STI >.<

my car has 60,023 on a d17a1 the Ek has about 64000 on a swaped d16y7 (replacement engine) hes got paperwork he showed me.

i like the hatch. i like my coupe. and its a pretty hard decision. oh and my coupe gots salvage title >.< his doesnt.

Well that's not right, I used to own an Integra and I'm more active than half the users on the Integra Forum i'm on and I own an EM2 now.

Go ahead and trade, just don't leave the family.

I'm with fventura though.

If you trade. Use the 3500 to get:
- New Lip
- New Rims
- B Series
- Slam it (if you have enough)

Lol, just my .02
