Can someone tell me how they recognize an SI coupe from an EX coupe? I know the SI has the sticker on the side but is there anything else that gives it away or not? Basically I saw an EX that had put a V-TEC sticker on the side so that spurred this question. Thanks for the help guys. D-Wass |

The front bumper and grille is possibly the biggest difference. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
front grille, front lip, painted sideskirts, rear disc brakes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
96-98 The rear taillights have the amber sides on them. The front bumper, fogs, headlights, fenders, painted side skirts...thats all i can think of right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
so with the headlights, you mean the SI heads are smaller? I have been looking at pictures of ex's and SI's to figure out the difference but I can't tell the difference between the grilles??? I am starting to understand more so I want to make sure I thank you guys for replying. D-Wass |

Si grilles have a mesh look behind the honda emblem and the ex has a single bar. |

wheels |

96-98 are differnt than 99-00. Si = 99-00. edit: You do realize that the 96-98 EX and the 99-00 EX look differnt right? 99-00 EX has same heads, bumper, fenders, hood, tails all that shit. The only diff is the Si has sports stuff on it, i.e. brakes, engine etc. |

|||||||
-tails -cluster (redline @ 8200 as apposed to 6k or something) -front grill -skirts -disk breaks in rear -leather steering wheel -wheels -the color i suppose. i think honda made 3 colors of the si.. |

|||||||
tails are all the same in 99-00, btw |

Quote: So what you are saying is that the 96-98 ex has all the differences from the 99/00 ex that people have talked about above. And you are also saying that the 99/00 ex looks the same as the 99/00 SI but the difference is in performance right? So if someone puts an SI and v-tec stickers on their 99/00 ex the only way you could tell the difference between the two is by looking at the b16 engine and the em1 chassis code? Thanks for the help.

96-98 civic has 2 major differences in its apperance... the headlamps have a lined/blurry lookin corner to em seen here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...sspagename=WDVW where as the 99-00 civic (every model) is all clear and clean lookin seen here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...sspagename=WDVW tail lights are another other major physical difference. 96-98 have an amber section where your blinkers are, whereas the 99-00 is all white on the bottom half. the last thing that's mostly noticable (to me at least) it the front grill. 96-00 have the same grill (i think) and the 99-00 si has a honey comb lookin grill. so pretty much if you have an 99-00 ex you could just change out the front bumber, put some stickers on it, and change the tach and you could possibly fool people |

that and if you have a OEM lips..also, your paint is not going to be the same. Si paints were exclusive to just that, Si on in the 99-00 years. Also you would need the wheels as well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
usually the most appearance wise difference is the 16 y/o girl behind the wheel of the EX and the 18 y/o geek behind the wheel of the Si |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
and another visual difference is that the ex will be nothing but a little piece of rock in your rear view mirror if you're racing it with an si |

96-98 have different headlights and taillights than the 99-00. si has the sideskirts, front lip, front grille, rear emblem (well, if it hasn't been stolen yet), side stickers, and if you can see through the windshield, there is a hole in the headrests. |

its all about the engine, the suspension and the brakes they may be close, but ive never let an ex take me |
