i like the idea, i used to know a kid who had a ej like this and painted it 00 Si blue, it tured out nice and it is different in a sense, but as much as we all wish... they never made these coupes Si 's ... only 92-95 hatchs were "Si's" sucks i know, but hey, b16 swap and a few other things and u got urself a home-made Si lol

PIAA bulbs are worth the money, next best thing to h.i.d.'s

I ordered the "extreme white plus" ones off their site. Very happy with them.


And nice de-ricing!

yeah i think i'll buy the PIAA bulbs saved a lot of money on the other parts so i can spend a little extra on the lighting. Forgot to say it's got brand new brakes/o2 sensor,rad and cat aswell.It'll be a nice highway cruiser and thats all i need it for.I'll pick up a 5 spd eg hatch in the winter as a new project
