Leonardo Leon's affinity for Hondas is almost as old as he is. "As I went through middle school and started high school I always was interested in an SI or an RSX. I had seen many that were fixed and I liked the style. As time progressed I always said that I wanted to get one and that I was going to own one", writes Leon. Driving Hondas his whole life, it was only fitting that Leon started working at a Honda dealership after getting back from his automotive program in school. By a stroke of luck, a friend of his traded in this Civic Si for an Accord while he was working at the dealership, and Leon seized the opportunity. "From then I got even more into the car scene and continue to grow with my car slowly but surely."

FAVORITE MODIFICATION:
PasswordJDM Candy Apple Red carbon fiber covers - "It makes everything stand out in the engine bay and the way it looks. Since I had installed them, I was able to pop my hood and give my car a different look, for others to look at it, and inspire others in the scene [with] ideas and help them."
FUTURE MODIFICATIONS:
