Default Thought I would share some pictures of my FBP 99 si

I just picked up this car a few months ago from the original owner, let me know what you guy's think. I plan to keep it mostly stock except maybe a small drop and some light window tint.

Really clean! Looks great. A mild drop would be the only thingI personally would do. Otherwise it looks fantastic even though I'm not a big fan of wire tucks.

Thanks man! The original owner took very good care of the car but he never cleaned under the hood. It was a mess. I sent the valve cover to my powder coating guy , bought a go-autoworks intake, and a go autoworks radiator ( only because the stock one cracked a week after i got it ) I never did any sort of wire tucking to the car nor do I plan to . Everything is stock under the hood minus the VC , Rad, And Intake.

I like FBP but there are just so many FBP coupes (EX/DX/HX/Si) lol. I like EBP b/c of exclusivity

Not going to lie.... I've been missing my MR lately. Something about the MR SI on some black wheels with the hood bra... it just does it for me.

I'm also toying with the idea of spraying it Taffetta. Always wanted a Taffetta EM1.

I still say all the time that Honda messed up not offering the EM1 in Taffetta! There used to be a local guy who did a clone. Looked awesome.

Older than what... 16?

Old guys don't powdercoat their valve covers and install short ram intakes on civics.

Honestly the car looks to me like maybe it was modified and put back to stock. But maybe it really is a virgin. Either way, super clean SI.
