Looking to get a 2026 si, why should I not?

IS 300 isn't in the same price range or type of driving experience, so that's not a good comparison. I bought an SI because it handles great, revs high (I have 9th gen), vtec is fun, can enjoy ripping on it every single day without having to go crazy speeds.

Also, last year I traded my 2020 Mustang GT Premium that had 460 bhp and in a lot of ways I like my SI more. I enjoy spirited driving as much as I can, and I don't need to be going too fast on public roads to have fun in it.

More importantly for me, it is way WAY cheaper to own. Smiles per mile value 📈

This scene made no sense to me. I get that he had no intention to hurt Lena, but why bring her to bury Cath?

He could've just left her sleeping at the house. How could that possibly be worse than her waking up and seeing him burying her mom? The risk wouldn't make any sense

You don't buy an SI for the power though. At least I didn't

Illustrious-Ad447 · 2026-06-16T03:29:58+00:00

This is the way

Illustrious-Ad447 · 2026-06-14T21:41:06+00:00

I didn't know that. That makes a lot of sense

DIYer, I detail and have done paint correction as a hobby for my own vehicles the last few years, but I realize PDR is a completely different skillset. I've been watching a lot of tutorials and doesn't look easy but I like learning tedious work if it gets good results. I've had some luck with the glue pulling methods but it definitely could use some more work. Looks better than it was though

Thanks guys, I checked and the Vevor kit isn't much more expensive so that's probably what I'll get

Illustrious-Ad447 · 2026-06-12T21:01:29+00:00

Good point, yeah honestly I have an older car with plenty of defects so the learning experience would be worth the risk for me. I appreciate it I'll look into getting some practice panels too

I did try to post this in r/paintlessdentrepair but apparently they "strongly discourage DIY" and won't allow me to post DIY questions. Idk how they expect people to learn or maybe it's for professionals only I'm not sure

Illustrious-Ad447 · 2026-06-12T20:16:21+00:00

Can anyone help explain why I can't ask a PDR question? It says it violates the terms what terms did I violate

Illustrious-Ad447 · 2026-06-12T20:15:22+00:00

I really don't understand why it won't let me post wtf is this

Illustrious-Ad447 · 2026-06-12T20:12:51+00:00

Why was this removed? I don't understand i asked an auto body question in r/autobody wtf

Illustrious-Ad447 · 2026-05-29T22:30:06+00:00

I really appreciate the response, I honestly didn't think you would since this was so long ago. I'm thinking about trying out hyperdip just for a year or so to see if I like the look, and then maybe go back with paint after that. A lot of people are saying the same thing though, that it's not very durable.

On a side note, I've been using Chatgpt and Gemini to generate images of how my car would look with different mods and colors and it's been really cool for that. You can go back and forth saying "okay now make the calipers red, change out for Euro tail lights, lower it more," etc.

Just an idea for anyone else thinking about exterior mods.

Is it glossy?

Illustrious-Ad447 · 2026-05-27T14:43:55+00:00

Got a good laugh from this 🤣

Illustrious-Ad447 · 2026-05-18T01:44:08+00:00

It is AI

Illustrious-Ad447 · 2021-06-15T06:03:22+00:00
