Default Today I found my first disappointment with the EP3....

On each of the side vents. I just now found out that the STICKERS that identify whether if the vent is closed or not. peels off.

So I tore em both off.

PS. My Integra isnt like that.

me too! Started falling off at around oh id say 10k. Might have been cus the cars sat out on the lots for so long under the sun etc. Or its just hondas quality standards are lower. either way a quick trip to the auto store will solve your problems if u arent scared to add a dab of paint here an there.

First thing you *SHOULD* do to an ep3 is remove those ungodly hideous ivtec stickers anyway.

IMO, I think those stock DOHC VTEC stickers on the quarter panel - although have only been on one (or two?) car(s) previous to the EP3 - is getting quite old. I just don't think there's anything special about your car saying it's got i-VTEC and even more, a DOHC. I guess it's just Hondas way of keeping their variable valve timing systems popular.
