Nice.

Did they remove the DOHC I-VTEC stickers?

I hate when they do that.

I wouldn't consider an FG2 to be that small. Certainly not among Hondas.

Compared to a Winnebago, a FG2 is kinda small, although it may be wider..lol.

Compared to a Honda City, the Civic is rather large.

Removing the decals provides a clean look while lowering the profile of the vehicle to clowns and would-be street racers.

When I removed the badging and decals off of my sedan the clowns went away and I could drive in peace. The one who decided they wanted a piece found out they were barking up the wrong tree.

I don't really see why.

I had many more clowns trying to race me in my em2 than my fg2. That's probably because they actually had a shot against me in the em2, whereas in the fg2 its no contest. =P

I am just so sick of seeing so many r18-wannabe k20s, with the Si spoiler, HFP kits, and (most often) stolen SI rims, that I don't understand why anyone would purposefully bring themself down to that level.

I feel that the decal sets off the SI image, and makes the car stand out more.

Whether it attracts people or not, the car looks better with the decals, along with the spoiler.

agreed. i think the civic looks kinda bland even with the stickers and wing, i'd never remove either one. i've never understood why somebody would remove their si wing (seems to be the cool thing to do on 8th civic). kinda ot, but i just wanted to say that .

To me, the Si does not look complete without OEM spoiler and side-stickers.

The DOHC VTEC stickers are simply part of the Si culture, and have been for years.

To remove them is to degrade that culture. Its like removing the Cobra symbol from the grille of a Shelby Cobra.
