    Sa pagkakaalam ko magkaiba ang monocoque design ng SIR and LXi. Madami kang babaguhin headlight mounts, fender trims and mounts, bumper mounts magkaiba din. Did I mention that the rear also is different?

    Benta mo na lang LXi then kumuha ka ng orig SIR, para pati makina iba na rin. :D

    OT: Nagsuicide tuloy si yebo. :bwahaha:

    marami-rami ngang babaguhin sa 96 LXi mo para magawa mo itong SiR look, mas madali ng konti sana kung 98 LXi sana. Iba ang Fenders, grille, front at rear bumpers, tail lights at rear garnish or palit buong trunk. Plus palit ka rin to rear disc brakes, palagay ka pa ng power antenna, lower stabilizer link, strut bar, palit ng mags/tires. Di pa kasama ang mga interior changes dito. Mas maganda siguro kung pa-shave mo na lang yung front at rear bumpers mo (ito yung pagtanggal ng black moldings sa bumper) at paint to body color yung side moldings, may mga nakikita akong 96-97 VTi/Lxi na ganito at pogi naman ang kinakalabasan.

    with the amount of money you will spend in modifying, why not use your cash in buying the real SIR? Saw one for sale at Php 470t 1999-2000 model. A '96 Lxi goes for 285-300t.

    with the savings you'll get from avoiding the conversion and should you decide to sell your car, you'll probably be able to afford an SiR IMO

    Para sa kin, ipunin mo na lang yung P200,000 mo para makabili ka ng SiR. Sulit naman e.

    May risk din na baka maging 'ricey' yung ride mo kung pipilitin mong mag mukhang SiR.

    refer to this thread for the definition of ricey:
    ano ibig sabihin ng "ricey" at "rice boy"?

    pare, i have a 96 LXi too. kaya lang bro, hindi ka ba nanghihinayang? sayang bro kung looks ang ang concentration. opinion lang ito. tama sila malaki ang magagastos mo. mabuti pa kumuha ka na lang ng SiR.

    ako i prefer to keep my ride stock. kasi i heard mas mataas ang resale value ng stock kesa sa mga may mods (at least in the exterior part ha, sa mechanicals, ibang usapan yun).

    anyway, how about change mo na lang yung engine, sa d16b? tapos mags ng sir. ok na yun! hehehe. at least pag napalaban may ibubuga di ba?

    salamat mga tsikoteers!!!
    SiR mags, lowering springs (para pogi) and a good paint job nalang siguro.

    may mga shops who do the conversion for about 30k di kasama pinta...

    daming papalitan: hood, bumpers, head and tail lights, rear fenders, grille, trunk.

    papatapalan mo din yung antenna sa roof.

    kung talagang gusto mo ang i-convert yung ride mo, pag-isipan mo muna ng husto, kung talagang gusto mo at hindi ka mapalagay ... go for it. in the end ikaw rin naman ang masusunod at ikaw rin ang masasatisfy kapag nakita mong maganda ang itsura ng oto mo. Hindi ka naman gagastos ng 200T para lang i-convert yung ride mo kung exterior lang, di ba? Just my 2 cents worth ... 8)
