My first post - check out my new 2000 SI

Fogs are optional, I don't know about the lip. Maybe it got taken off and sold? Maybe it ripped off. He didn't say this was a brand new car....

I took off the "ORR" logo yesterday. It peeled off pretty easy. I don't know about the antenna, maybe the first owner messed up the original. I thought it was supposed to be that way, lol. The original window sticker shows the car had no options at all and there are no fog light switches, etc.
Today I bought some Meguiars Ultimate Compound and buffed the car. It made a big difference. It almost looks like new paint except for the stone chip spots.
I paid $6,629 for the car. It seemed like a low risk purchase. It wouldn't be hard to sell if I get tired of it.
The car drives great. I checked the tire pressure and found they were down more than 5 pounds. Now it actually handles kind of sharp. I had a 2007 SI briefly a couple years ago. The 2000 feels almost the same.

I've driven both quite a bit. I have a 2000 Si also and I used to sell Hondas...I prefer the EM1 over the new ones. I'm a B-series fan and I find the 6th gen body sexy!!! Your gonna love it dude...now lets get it boosted!!!
Great looking ride man! Keep her clean. I agree that a nice drop would have that thing set. 
Nice find, and welcome!

I looked at the antenna this afternoon after the comments that it is too long. I think it's the stock antenna and it telescopes. It was pulled out all the way, which probably gives the best FM reception. I pushed the inner section back down and now it's only half as long. I don't listen to the radio anyway. I'm probably going to replace the radio with a unit with a USB drive.
we didnt say it was "too" long. we just pointed out that it looked long and i guess out of the ordinary haha..
but yea, antenna delete or just push it all the way down. mine is all the way down and i can still hear the radio stations, at least on Guam. lol

I was at the auto parts store today and a clerk complimented me on the car and told me that he used to own a 2000 SI. He confirmed something posted earlier, namely that the car is supposed to have a front lip under the bumper. The car kind of looks like a guppy right now without the splitter/lip. He also told me that his old SI had a cracked lip and he bought a replacement from the dealer and Honda sells them pre-painted. So I went to the dealer and checked at the parts counter. They do come pre-painted but my dealer wants $374 for one. I'll check around online and see what I can find.
That's why it's called a stealership. BUTTTTT I think this car deserves brand new parts.
Good find, please please keep it clean!Nice
