Typically it's where the dealer uses a $1.00 stencil and .50 cents worth of glass etching acid to mark the glass in your car with your VIN and then charge you $250.00 for it.

The LowRiders used to do it a lot too. Virgin Mary on the opera windows...etc...

i've also seen it done for just as cheap with contact paper and a sand blaster.

thats pretty sweet... im might just do that myself...but how do you make the stencils?

tnk
05-28-2008, 11:26 PM
my friend sent his vin number in to the company and they made those stencils for him when he received the kit. if you're a little paranoid of that im sure any local graphics place will help out then find the etching acid at any hobby store. as a matter of fact, that may be even cheaper!

Thats funny, cause normally with sponsorships you sign a contract.

i almost feel bad for AEM, wasting their time on him with a "contract" and then dropping him.

i say almost because, well how sorry can you feel for a company that charges like $150 for a piece of piping and a cloth filter

Typically overdrive is a term saved for automatics... they typically call cars with 5-spd + 1-spd a 6-spd, idk correct me if I'm wrong. And you guys must not have been to AEM site in awhile because at the top it says "AEM: Sponsored by civc-si-boi" I was just there...

its a 6sp, technically you can consider the final gear overdrive.

lots of old cars would be 4sp manual with overdrive. it would be the same thing as 5sp, but instead of having 1,2,3,4,5 on the shifter, it would say 1,2,3,4,O

my stock civic gets better mileage than your new civic. and you know what....this civic wasnt always stock. i could afford the 6000 i spent in a turbo....i didnt have to rely on a bogus sponsorship from AEM for a SRI.

and some older trucks have L,2,3,4

and if you have an even older truck....you have to figure out the pattern on your own....meaning...3 on the tree. that was the best truck ive driven in a long time... 72 GMC

So basically, my brother-in-law's 09 Mercedes Benz SLK has a 4 speed automatic with 3 overdrives right? :retard: :lol: :haha: :hitlol:

and what about old trucks with underdrive? A really low "crawler" first gear? :lol: I drove a truck like that. What I thought was first was only good for about 7 mph.

its not rocket science that the 8th gen. si's have a 6 th gear because thats the nly way they make them

and as far as the overdrive thing goes

idc what yall think about it i thinks its just a cooler way of saying it and more of a convo. starter
rather then just saying oh yeah i have a 6 speed si

who said i was relying on AEM to performance ready my car ?


and of course yours is going to get the better gas milage

and mine is going to have lower MPG then you because well for one mines is just faster :)

Just my opinion but I think it sounds like something that would be in a corny video game rather than being a convo starter, because if you're talking to anybody that knows anything about cars, or civics they'll know that your si is a 6 spd and they'll probably just look at you like you're retarded. But if you're trying to impress chics by saying that you should probably just say you have a sports car.

Edit: I take back what I said, you are right, it is a convo starter because look at all the people talking about it on here....

i mean look at it this way if i was if we were at a car show or something and i told yu i had a 5 speed w/overdrive civc si would yu ask questions or wanna see it instead of me saying yeah i have a 6 speed civic si

To tell you the truth I'd probably stare at you blankly, blink twice, and then walk away. If your car was really nice you wouldn't need to say things to get people over to it, it'd speak for itself.

OP, did you ever think maybe there was a common denominator to every single one of your threads getting shat on? More directly, that perhaps that common denominator was you?
