Yes, I'm selling the DX. Let me explain.
Right now I've got the Enkei wheels on my DX. I will be putting them on the SI and selling the DX with the stock SI wheels and tires. I still have the stock DX wheels under the house (without tires), but I will probably get some snow tires for Christmas and then I'll put those tires on the stock DX wheels as a second set of wheels/tires. I go snowboarding during the winter and I don't want to be driving in the mountains with the Enkei's and low profile tires and hence the reason for a second backup set of wheels.
Maybe that makes more sense now...hehe.

alrighty, gotcha now. i would put the dx's back on the dx, sell the si's for like 400 bucks, buy some steelies for like a hundred, and then you'll have 300 extra to buy something for the new car.....but your plan works too
Go with the Si, I love mine.......

Decisions, decisions! Haha. I don't even have the car yet and I'm trying to figure out what to do with wheels. Here's the problem with just selling the DX with the DX wheels... I have no tires on them. That's why if I got snow tires it'd work out perfectly.
oh i thought the dx wheels had tires on them...whatever my brain hurts, do what you want lol
The car is now in my possession and I've had the chance to drive it even more. The SI definitely has a lot more pick-up than the DX. It's been a lot more fun to drive so far. I'm still not totally used to it, but I think that'll happen quickly. I'll probably start switching my equipment from one car to the other in the next week so that I can start getting the DX ready to sell. I'll try to remember to take pictures of both cars before and after if anybody is interested.
lol, no i just bought some OEM fogs from hondahookup.com, you have to cut hols in the front bumper and wire it and stuff. i like them though, it looks a lot better w/ them in. the only hard part was the cutting if ur not good at itNickeleye said:

Oh yeah, I had another question. When I was driving home last night (first night drive with the car) I noticed that when I turned on the turn signals the lights seemed to be a bright white color. I later found out that for some reason the turn signal lights are white and not orange. Is this normal or was some change made? I'm not sure how legal it is to have a white turn signal... not to mention I'm kind of old-fashioned (if you want to call it that) and like the orange signal.
GO SEDAN... Put a turbo on it.. new exhaust.. roll it on 17's-18's lower it. put a body kit/ new sideskirts, front lip, rear lip and call it a day..
Sedans are a no go for me. I prefer coupes. It's too late anyway since I've already got the new car. I'm also not a big fan of HUGE wheels. I prefer my 16's and would only go up to 17's at the most.
How does it only take 5 min. to replace the bulbs? Don't you have to take the entire light off to have access to the bubs? I noticed that the clear lens does snap off from the main light, but the amount of clearance around the edge of the light doesn't look like much and it looks like you could potentially break the caches on the lens. Then again, what do I know... I've never changed bulbs on these lights.
