**atruhondagrl** · 07-11-2006, 11:47 PM

Saweeet thanks.

I've been looking at the pics on the honda website, and even the black trim pieces under the front bumpers are different between the si and the ex/lx/dx

Check out the below link, this ventilation is even highlighted.......check out the brakes section about halfway down the page.

http://www.hondanews.com/CatID2013?m...39848&mime=asc

Supplemental fresh air front brake cooling is received via an aerodynamic strake positioned in front of the tire. The strake directs fresh air across the rotors for cooling much like a dedicated brake duct, allowing the brakes to be more resistant to fade in demanding high frequency and high performance stopping situations.

If I wasn't in the market for gas mileage, SI would have been my car of choice

**EDIT: car of choice over ANY car within a logical price range

FG Two · 07-12-2006, 11:31 PM

yeah i can confirm, the si is the only model with brake cooling vents, my stepdads ex coupe does not have them, they have a solid lip going across the whole bottom front

Black_civic_Si · 07-12-2006, 11:40 PM

it kool, by the way have you check your dealership at the parts department they might know what it really call

**twistedframe** · 07-13-2006, 09:46 AM

good find, i never noticed them either. Its the little things that count.

Johnold · 04-01-2007, 09:50 AM

i have an 07 Si and i'm thinking of taking these brake cooling vents off of my car. and the splash guards too. wanted a complete clean look top exterior AND under the body of the car aswell. i'm NOT going to get rid of that rubber strip that runs across the front bumper underneeth though. i like that there.

xmx250 · 04-01-2007, 12:28 PM

Its cool i guees. But they look kind cheesy. I wonder how functional they "really" are?
