How ricey is this (scale of 1 to 10)?

Someone new just moved in to my apartment complex. He/she (I don't know - never saw the owner) has a 7th generation Civic. I noticed it had some different wheels. Upon closer inspection, I see it has Acura OEM wheels (15 inch). I walk to the back of the car and, lo and behold, the owner has removed the "Civic" and Honda "H" and trim level badges and replaced them with Acura badges. As far as I can tell it has nothing else other than those "mods".

My opinion is that I'd like an RSX too, but my car can't magically transform into an RSX by changing badges and wheels (jeez he didn't even get bigger than stock wheels).

Sedan or Coupe? If it's a sedan it could be an Actual Acura EL. You live close enough to Canada(saginaw is in Mich., right?)

Saginaw is indeed in Michigan.

1973 (is that your weight or your IQ*1000?), I would rate you a 12 on the who-gives-a-flying-****-about-you scale.

I blame my teachers for not teaching me enough about Canada, also known as the 51st US state.

Now I know what 1973 stands for. It's the model year of the Pinto with 17" wheels, fart tip exhaust, and AEM air intake that you drive.

Please bite me for not knowing all the minutia of your frozen country. I'll let you get back to drinking Molson and watching hockey.

Visit lovely Canada (insert Dueling Banjo theme here), where the men are men, and the moose are nervous.

Hey 1973,

Don't worry man, people have said before they were leaving this site before because of rather stupid things, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone who already posted in this thread decided before to "quit" this site, only ending up to return to this same site.

So in a about a month, or 1 week, you will still be posting here and we all will still be bitching about the same things.

Megaman owns all.

but you are not a jedi yet...


anyway, after 3 freakin pages, we still ahve not yet resolve the mystry of this "el".. anyway...

you can tell it's a EL when...

the turn signal are in the bumper
the headlight is clear
the tail lights are different
it's a sedan
acura rims
acura badge
acura "1.7el" badge
leather interior
tan(?) interior

yep.. if it meets above, it's an el alright

the comment about rather it's rice or not, i consider changing my badges once in that fasion, and everyone called it rice, so i would cosnider it's misbadgeing rice
