I think i know one. My friend has a 4th gen si. U know those long thin strip decal on the side that some 4thgen comes with? Well he has one and towards the end it says SI. ITs pretty dope and he told me they come stock like that. I haven't seen anybody with that but him?

I don't think chrome fender trim is stock, thats like Ghetto Autoparts store crap.

As stupid as it sounds, the mudflaps are a discontinued OEM option.

Also, I will be buying the OEM Bra and Nose mask from a friend of mine. Its leather and has the "civic" logo embroidered where the H emblem would be. It even has the cutouts for the OEM foglights...IF I EVER FIND ANOTHER SET!!

As far as I know, heres the list of OE options

Foglights :mad:
Bra and Nose Mask
Mudflaps
Rear Speaker Mounts
Center EQ console
Armrest
Honda CD player
Door Visors
Moonroof deflector

I think thats it.... at least for the Hatch

Id say the hardest to find out of all of those is a the fogs, with the bra at a close 2nd

Climate control, power windows, power mirrors, power-assisted steering, Sheepskin seat covers with Civic logo on them, floor mats with Civic logo, centre console (flip top storage area as opposed to the open "U" shaped one), "space-saver" spare tyre, leather momo sports steering wheel (Aust option), 14 inch mag wheels, Mugen body kit and wheels (Aust CRX only - honda fitted option), passanger side door pocket to match drivers side.

There are JDM/Aussie OEM options though.

Oh, I forgot the mid-wing which was also an option here. Not to my taste though. Also brake-lamp fitted to the top wing as our 88's had this as option only, in '89 it became standard.

Damn bastid

Those don't count....hahahaha

The floormats weren't an option, but Honda Still discontinued them in 1992 just like all the other OE options. Go figure

Fukkers, I wish I had the "option" to get anything Mugen without selling my first born child. :D

Oh, could be just because of our country roads, but we had clear hard plastic/perspex stone deflectors that attached over the headlights and a third to protect the front of the bonnet (hood for those of you that don't speak real English :p ) as an OEM option.

;)

not bad, i have 4 out of those 9, which i could only use 8 since my DX dont have a moonroof. i too would love a set of OEM fogs but they seem to be extremly hard to find.

What about the OEM clock in the dash between the air vents? My 90 DX hatch didn't come with it, I had to scour the scrap yards for one.

yup, and with my help u found one! :)

I knew of something that i think was optional but i cant remember it ne more, i'll post it once i remember hehe

I remember now
Rear Head Rests.... those r optional.... right??

i wanna get rid of my clock in my car, since i have my cd player dont need it, so does anyone want a clock, in exchange for the piece that covers it?

Since I got my clock I don't need the cover piece. Do you have anything else small to trade for it?

hmm..not really, but what were you thinkin of?

they might of been hard for you to find, but i dont know if the clock is really that rare.

weird, how could you not have a clock?
though, i think its weird that some dont have a centre console.
mine has a space saver spare wheel, didnt think that was rare though.

Hmmm... clocks came standard in our Civics, right back to the 2nd gen.

Space savers dont always meet the design regs for some countries is my impression.

I'm ditching the back seat in my CRX...do you guys get that? ;)

DOH!
i shoulda knew this one too
the back seats in CRXs :D

well since i was asking about USDM rare parts. the crx rear seat wouldnt be one since it was never offered in the US.

but... wouldnt that make it rare still? ;)

I'm thinking of chucking it in the bin. It has no use to me. Shame as its in perfect condition...

toss is up on the classifieds man

Yeah, but there is no demand over here...last I saw in the US, these went for $650! Hmmm. Perhaps I could ship it over to a keen buyer?

I dont even own a CRX....but I will buy it for a decent price. It would be kinda neat to own.

I might want it the old man would love that for his rex.

What's a decent price? Don't want to rip anyone off. And what parts do you need? The little storage bins beside the seats? Seat belts? Trim? There are the catches and speaker holders and stuff as well, so i'm not sure how much is different between USDM and JDM?

You qould need the entire backseat assmebly and the side pockets as that is where the seat belt rolls up if I am correct. And if no one else wants it I will give you $300 shipped later this summer. Or winter for the south of the equator bunch

i remember something else. i'm pretty sure they were made by honda but i might be wrong. There was a car cover, made to fit each paticular cars. Marked001 had one for his teal hatch :D

my DX doesnt have a boot (trunk) light, or a centre console, or electric mirrors, or electric windows, or electric sunroof, or door pockets, so in other words my car has NO extras at all :rolleyes:
