Default Why didnt Honda paint......
How come they didnt paint the base of the side view mirrors?!?!

I have a black Si that is kept clean. I guess the sun is already fading the base plate. Anybody else have this problem?

dohc, one controlls intake one exhaust i only have vtec actuation on intake. no vtec on exhaust (ie: rsx-S, 99 SI, integ gsr etc).

kinda sucks an limits the tuning potential of the motor. =-(

He may want to take away the 99 designation then on the Si part. B16A2 had VTEC actuation on both intake and exhaust.
