Is there any differences between the 07 and the 08 model Si's? Besides the $5K price.

 

Shift boot I think lol.

 

and i think the tpms??

 

shift boot, tpms, darker rims...

 

08's don't have keyhole releases on the trunks. Tiny detail, but a difference nonetheless.

 

wasnt this asked already?

 

Red stitching shift boot.
Ambient light that shines down on shifter at night.
Rims may be darker,but I can't tell.
Better transmission(no 3rd gear issue).
No key hole in trunk or pass. front door.
Shift pattern on shift **** is red.

 

^^ the 07's have ambient lighting too. as well as the shift pattern being red

 

^My bad.

 

different rear upper control arms (thought i think the 06-07 were upgraded to the newer ones under warranty if you asked them for it). i've also heard that the spring rates were lowered to match the si sedan, but i haven't heard much about that so i dunno if its true.

wrong. that was only on the regular civics, not the si. it was excluded as stated in the tsb.

are you saying i'm wrong about the 08 si's having the different arms, or about being able to have your 06-07 arms changed to the 08?

I'd like to see some proof of the Tranny issue.. . I guess I could just ask my buddy whos brother is a engineer for honda though.. .

I will update if I hear anything

 

I've had an 07 and an 08. What is this ambient light you speak of? Transmission is the same. The back of the seats is a different material.

It's the red LED in the sunroof switch panel that provides a soft red glow right above the shifter.

 

It's not THAT bright. When I think "ambient" lighting, I think of the lighting behind the rear seat head rests in a BMW 3 series.

It's amber (or orange).

its the light switch that turns on the dome light if u open the doors

 

I always leave the dome light/open doors switch off.

 

you are asking because your gonna buy one or just curious? cause if you are gonna buy one get an 09 new bumper is nice, gotta get used to the grill for me

 

There's actually a memo out for 2nd and 3rd gear... I had issues with 2nd and ended up having both gears rebuilt on my '07 Si.
