Default RSX vs SI-! Which one looks better when it has been modified? Post pics

Post pics and opinions of which car you think looks better when it has body work done too it. i used to think RSX's, but now i definetely would say the EP3. Look at the posts we have put up on SI's, I like to here the RSX owners talk crap about the SI, but aside from performance, the truth is they say it looks like a bus etc, but when they have a clean kit, and nice wheels, they are far nicer than the bitch caRSX. I am not bias, the rsx looks good when a girl is in it, but i mean come on look at these dope EP3s, you need to give them more respect! "Let me know your OPINIONS, thanks, dont mean to start ****, I just want to know others opinions. thanks

OK, for me I love both of them equally.

It was a very tough choice, kind of, when I was buying my Integra. The main reason I ended up going with it over the Civic R, well the Integra is 80lbs lighter, comes with the Brembo stoppers, has 5ps and .4kg-m torque more, and only cost about $800 more with the Civic similiarly equipped to the stock Integra.

I don't feel that the Civic looks like a bus, to me I see EK4 blended with EG6! It really is a nice car, with tons of room behind the rear seat, you can stuff probably 4 bodies back there, if you are into that sort of thing.

Both cars to me are actually very beautiful, and when they are hooked up, look simply incredible. I can't see why people back stateside down each other over the RSX or Si Civic. Both are Honda vehicles. Oh wait to appease some of those small-**** bastards, one is a Honda and one is an Acura , stupid US!

U R ONE LUCKY ************! The day I can drive up to a lot like that and see those cars side by side like it was nothing is the day that every girl can give BJ's as well as Jenna Jamison. You are lucky and I see how the choice was hard. Its like Pamela Anderson, or Carmen Electra for the night, its a win win situation. thanks for the post and the input!

Believe me, I don't take for granted at what I can get my hands on. I choose to live here in Japan versus the states and by doing so I am able to acquire Honda's best. I really wish they would release these models stateside, I think the main reason they are not, they are not put out in high numbers, even here in Japan. I ordered mine on the 28th of March and didn't actually get it until the 1st of June. So if they were released stateside, the numbers would be minimal and since some people in the US have no respect for others property, the theft rates would be even higher than normal. Is that really a good reason, probably not, I just don't understand why Honda of America doesn't bring in the goods. Most definitely every model would be sold if brought in. Well I don't know, because of the price gouging and also what the actual price would be. It seems that Japanese cars sold stateside are sold as if the exchange rate is 100/$1. So basically the Civic or Integra R would go for like $28000-$30000, so they may not sell as well. Only those true Honda enthusiasts would go after them.

Well that one pic of the DC5R and EP3R are my DC5 and my Japanese friends EP3. We were parked at the Honda display at the car show. Honda asked me if I would park my car there.

There are plenty of pics here on the site under, well I guess not, the post seems to have disappeared. I would repost, but I'm sure some people wouldn't like to see the same pics once again.

You can see some here--

Chris, I believe all of us are true Honda enthusiasts; some of us just have deeper pockets than others. you have the benefit of living in the land of the rising sun with the pick of some of the best cars in the world. you're right, either car is a jewel. and you're also right that people stateside do not have respect for others possessions like they do over there. but hey, I've got a sweet EP3 already, and I love it (also an EF and an E-AT). but I do so love championship white.
peter

PS nice web site

I don't know....i'd be hard pressed to decide on one or the other. They're both so freaking awesome. I'd probably go with the DC5-R just because it's got some more ponies and better brakes.

I can appreciate the Integ a lil' more than the Civic. But since this is about looks, I'd say the DC5 &gt; EP3. Funny that they're both hatchbacks, but the DC5 brochure in Japan says, "Exciting new coupe!" I like coupes better.

I understand, but I think when they are both fixed up, the nicest civic and the nicest rsx, i think that somehow the civic just looks more like a badass racecar. It is beefier in the front which i like it a sports car. i know they are both hatch, but they both look damn good, and for the looks i would take it over most of the new cars including a WRX, or Evo, suped up, they look nice, but i truly like the LOOKS better on the ep3. thanks again for the posts.
