Ended up giving up on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! out myself and took the Civic to a shop to have the work finished. Everything is back together and Steve has been happily delivering pizzas since last week.
Been really needing new tires because the A/S that came on the car were low and tread and frightening in the rain. Wanted to go for summers because I’ll be putting on winters when the snow inevitably rolls around, but nobody makes summers for the stock Civic steelies, so I was forced to get new wheels.
Ended up with 15x7 Advanti Storm S1 wheels shod in Dunlop Direzza DZ102 UHP summer tires from TireRack. They showed up yesterday morning and I had them mounted and ready to go before work.
Really happy with how they look. They fill out the wheel wells great and green car/gray wheels is one of my favorite combos (Bullitt probably gets credit for that one). Now I just need a mesh grille and a Bullit badge so I can confuse/anger people.
Put 80+ miles on the new tires yesterday and they’re great. Ride well, grip wonderfully, and all that.

they certainly appear to be. the non-si models have a solid headrest and dont have that pattern. although, perhaps you have an EX, those are almost an SI so might get the fancier seats?

It’s an EX 5-speed with a D16Y5 swapped in. So it’s SOHC VTEC-E with 115hp instead of SOHC VTEC with 125hp like it’s supposed to be.
No clue why it’s like that.

Come to think of it, I parked next to another green EJ8 a couple weeks ago and that one had the same seats. It was owned by a college-age girl and looked bone stock, so I’m going to asume EJ8s and EM1s shared seats.
