Not in Canada. The VIN will reveal all.

Canadian si's have a chrome badge, not red like the usdm si and cdm sir.

it is not an em1 because:

gauge cluster
grille
unpainted side skirts
no studs for strut bar on the shock towers
no leather wrap on the steering wheel

someone either threw on an si badge, or swapped trunk lids. the front bumper has been repainted so I assume it was in an accident at some point.

Do not buy this car. It has 6 owners and has been in three accidents and has flood damage. I just ran the carfax. It is a 1999 Honda Civic EX. This is the worst carfax I have ever seen on any vehicle.

It is a branded title salvaged then rebuilt..

How the **** are people finding the Carfax without the VIN, or at least current owner information?
