It Annoys me...

SacrificeTheory · 05-11-2008, 09:37 AM

How every concept model that Honda shows for their sporty cars have Brembro brakes, and yet when the production cars roll in, nothing. A lot of ideas from Honda concepts should stick all the way through production. Such as the case with the body style of the Si concept to now. Concept Si exterior is such much better than the stock Si look. Plus, it also had Brembro brakes and better rims. It seems like the Japanese version of their cars, get the brakes, but the USDM don't.

Just got to get it off my chest.

correct me if i'm wrong but the concept Si had the full HFP kit (including rims) which is definitely available here

the only things i can think of that didn't make it over to the production line would be the brembo brakes, the exhaust pipe and the dual color paint job. the wing was maybe a little different too because i think it was connected only at the center instead of the two ends

The wheel well area is different. Seems part of some funky body kit. The spoiler is the same but just lifted up off the trunk. This doesn't look that bad actually.....I kind of like it. Especially from a side view. What I do like is the front bumper. It's not smooth at the bottom like the production version but it seems like it's because of that body kit...

Mmm....I love my silver sedan. In good lighting it looks damn sexy. Check out how that body kit extends the bottom sides of the front bumper. Looks neat

I think the elevated wing looks awesome.

That body styling looks really nice. It would be really cool if they had that for all sedans.
