Overview
About the vehicle
The 1999 Civic Si combines a light front-wheel-drive chassis, a high-revving B16A2 VTEC engine and the clean proportions of Honda's sixth-generation coupe. Its slim pillars, compact arches and simple body surfacing make wheel diameter, ride height and paint contrast especially easy to judge. In the Build Studio, compare restrained OEM+ combinations with more expressive late-1990s tuner setups while keeping the narrow body and short wheelbase visually balanced.

Styling Guide
Expert advice on how to approach modifying the Honda Civic Si. Learn how different choices affect the visual balance of this specific chassis.
Wheels & Fitment
The EM1's compact arches suit simple five-spoke, six-spoke and lightweight multi-spoke wheels. Bright silver and white feel period-correct, while bronze or graphite creates a more modern restomod contrast.
Suspension & Stance
A moderate drop closes the visible arch gap and emphasizes the Civic's low beltline without overwhelming its narrow body. Keep camber measured so the lightweight coupe still looks functional and planted.
Paint & Finish
Vivid factory-style blue, red and black suit the clean 1990s surfacing, while white gives the body a motorsport character. Gloss and metallic finishes preserve the crisp reflections along the doors and quarter panels.
