dude, think about what those compact/economy cars DIDNT get and the difference in cost...when building a car a company has to decide where the money goes, do you take out all the fiddly features that COULD break, and put the cost into making the key components that will define the car GOOD instead of just spreading the cost across lots of silly features, that in the end will be cheap and all break and then you are just left with a 240sx, no better than a civic and cost twice as much when new...
remember $1 more per car on 20k units is $20,000 more in production costs...this is why companies cut pennies...it sucks but in such high volumes it matters, if we are talking limited production cars, it doesnt matter, but mass market it really does add up

I NEVER use my sunroof, ever.. plus I hate the way the seal looks around the glass on the roof, it messes up the way the roof looks.. Look at an EP without a sunroof and I think you'll agree, it looks much nicer.
I like my sun roof a lot... Lol

im mixed about having a sun roof or not
but i dont think i'd be going crazy if i didnt have one...
i don't use mine much...maybe like once every .....month maybe more
if we didnt have a sunroof our chassis would be lighter and stiffer <---don't quote me on this lol
i think thats the reason why some bmw m series cars are missing sunroofs <---(again don't quote me on this im throwing it out there based on pure memory of what i think i read and remember)
Because of the compound stamping on the roof for a sun roof, its actually stiffer having it, but you're looking at about an extra 30-50 lbs up on the highest point which is the worst point to have weight on a car...this is why the type r did not have a sun roof...reduced weight up high, and 30 less lbs on the car

Guys the EP2 gauge set is plug and play in the EP3 as a lot of people do the opposite over here if you like I could source some ep2 black clusters :)
How about sourcing lockable glove box doors!
Are the lockable doors for LHD cars? or RHD? I found one on ebay, but it's UK so I'm assuming it's RHD specific

i'm assuming the lock on the glove box corresponds to the lock on the doors/ignition. does anyone know if it's even possible to rekey the glove box to a specific ep3 key and how difficult it is?

Was your WTS/WTT/WTB closed? Please read the following: link 1 & link 2
As luck has it, there is a black uk cluster for sale on epcivic.com for 30 uk pounds,
the glovebox locks we all got in the uk, I'll check with some of the European users for the LHD variants
Although we didn't get the HFP kit lol
There's probably other things you guys could use...
I have Honda jazz washer jets (Honda fit) in my EP, which change the jets from a spray to a mist for more coverage they're a lot better than the stock ones
Also if anyone needs any parts ordered from a uk dealer grab me the part number if possible and email me for prices but remember were RHD :p

shipping from Norther Ireland is killer though. I paid a guy for a Aniversary edition MOMO steering wheel from N.I., was gonna cost around twice as much as i paid for the wheel to get it shipped from N.I. to Canada.
