Car buying decision

I have come across a couple of cars that i am going to look at tonight. Im having a hard time deciding what one i want more when it will come time to buying one.

The first one is a 97 EX that is stock besides a 00 front conversion, coilovers, rear lip, spoiler and tint. In the pics it has xxr wheels but will come with stock steel wheels when i buy it and it also wont have the bike rack. Here are a couple of pics.




The second is a 96 EX that has been made more or less into a EM1 replica. Here is the description from the craigslist add. I have a 96 civic ex converted to an si. The motor is a b16a2 with a short ram intake and brand new motor mounts, throttle positioning sensor. The car is blue almost identical to electron blue. The taillights are the si taillights and the trunk has the si emblem. The front has the 99 civic si front end with fog lights and hid headlights. The front brakes are drilled and slotted rotors brand new and brand new brake pads. The interior is in good shape and has the si gauge cluster. The car has 81,888 miles on it at this second. Pioneer head unit, treo front componets and kicker comp rear 6x9. The suspension on the car is a brand new 1 week old set of skunk 2 shocks with brand new eibach lowering springs. The sunroof opens good the heater works. The air condition works but is missing the lower ac line $34.00 fix. The car has no ctylitic convertor and a magna flow muffler, I would defiantly replace the muffle and add a high flow cat. The car has tint all the way around and good tags and inspection. The car has si wheels and runs good.
here are a few pics of it.






Also the cars are within 100 dollars of each other price wise. What would yall do?

Thanks again for all the help.

i would pick the si replica. i would want a faster car and you can probably get more for it than the other car if you was to sell it. and just imo i like the color, haha

I'm not a fan of buying other people's projects and all the headaches that will ensue once something breaks. I'd try to find something close to stock.
