Here is the image since flic.kr is a pain to embed and I don't think there's too much red, looks good!...But I would like to know what the SiR badge is.

Thanks! It means Sport Injection Racing. Really just bought it for the looks, after all a supercharger IS air injection right? . Heres a couple different angles.

These arent the best pictures though with all the reflections you can obviously see on the car.

To be honest, get rid of that SiR badge. It looks to much like the Honda Si badge. It's just out of place, but other than that it looks good.

And a supercharger is a type of forced induction. I've never heard it called air injection. Not trying to bust your *****, just trying to get you in line before everyone else comes in and slams you. lol

As you can tell I am new at all this but have been learning quite a bit in the last month about different stages what all the acronyms mean and all that. Its a lot to take in. Appreciate the input man! To be honest the SIR badge I was on the fence about.

Haha yeah this site is awesome though. I've been on it for 3+ years and I have learned so much from other members and the how-to section. But yeah no hard feelings about trying to be different.

ZZP and OTTP will have all your performance needs. And CED has some as well, and you can get OEM parts there too. And Modern has a good selection of parts as well.

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on the car, it looks good. But please ditch the SiR emblem, like someone mentioned before it looks like the Honda Si badge.
