dude you modified your post and the grammar is still junk.


he did the si body to try and bring up sales for the ailing civic si. but you could slap any body on that and call it a whatever. i doubt that car will help sells for the civic si

the ep isn't even meant for drag racing... even if it boost sales, does he want everyone to turn their SI into a dragster?

street racers think they are drag racers. a cool, drag ep3 could entice them to buy one and apc it out.
