anyone that is saying that it isn't an Si cause of the VIN has to go against alllllllll the Civics that put Fiero badges or Type-R badges or Si-R badges... or whatever...
my take on it is if you've got the motor to back up the badge, then it's not ricer...
in the end though remember.... your car is YOUR CAR... you have to wake up every morning to it... you have to drive it... you look at it...
(btw... i always thought a white EM1 woulda been badass...)
