I see a lot of people saying ep3, em2 or whatever and I wanna know which is which. I know they're body styles or whatever (correct me if that's not accurate) but I don't know which is specifically which. And, I want to know mine. I have a 2005 Lx 4 door sedan

I thought of another question... I'll ask here instead of making a new thread. Would using a black Sharpie be ok for fixing up tiny scratches on my car (also black)?

You have a:
EM2, EP3 etc...are just chassis codes to differentiate between the models
EM2 is a 7th Gen civic EX, while EP3 i think is a 7th gen civic SI

Depending on how "tiny" those scratches are
I don't have any experience with a dark colored car, however, on my white car, i know most scratches will vanish with a little wet sanding with 2000 grit sandpaper, polishing compound, and rewaxing

I'm pretty sure you can just buff most scratches out with polishing compound (turtle wax runs for about 2 bucks) and some elbow grease

The ES1, EM2, EP3 is the chassis codes for your car. The chassis code is the 4th to 6th letter/number on your VIN number. And for scratches use touch up paint.
