Nice. I personally prefer the look of cars w/o side markers. Much cleaner. And most new cars (like the GE) have wrap around blinkers on the head/tail lights so they don't have to legally put the side markers on. Now you basically have three blinkers viewable from the side. But if you're gonna do it, I think you made a wise decision with putting really small ones on. Just my taste though, it's your car! And definitely a unique touch.

I just ordered my Tanabe Medallion Touring Exhaust for my GE8! Hope it sounds great with my PRM intake. Will be installing on the 30th, standby for pictures!

There was a guy not too far from me who totalled his 2010 Si.

I met him to buy the fronts, he also threw in the rears for free....so then i sold the rears. :P

cost me $200 for the Si seats once it was all said and done. SOLID bolsters. no wear at all. deal of the century for me......

to get them in, the rear bolts lined up. we harvested the front feet from the fit seats. bolted them to the rails of the si seats! (the driver side left foot had to be welded tho). was not that bad to do....gotta get a wireharness diagram tho.

I just sold my SI seats last night lol! I was going to use them, but I have something different planned now. They look good in the fit.

Had honda reinitialize my OPDS unit in the passenger seat...

i attempted to use the Si OPDS - but the fit's ECU flipped out, as there was a code/ID mismatch (the fit computer looks for the OPDS it's married to).

swapped the OPDS unit, had honda reset the OPDS/SRS system, voila! No lights, all systems are go!

Can't say...... My dealer had them sitting around for quite a while, and since I know them really well - it was dirty dirty cheap. Basically less than half of retail.....
