I just cant imagine backing up onto them...say if you fell off the track...then what
You should have got a picture of a train hitting it. That would have been cool. Not really liking the color
Wow, did all the hmt haters invade clubcivic too? I didn't think I'd like a flat black 6th gen, but yours looks pretty clean. Just ditch the mesh in the bumper. Get the over spray off your taillights and get a rear lip. Nice work with making do with what you have though.

Flat black looks bad. It's hard to keep clean too. Satin black is the kind that looks good.
The blue lights are illegal by the way. Most states require your front markers to light or reflect orange. So, while overseas headlights can be legal if they have amber bulbs, these lights won't ever be legal. The reflectors and lights being covered with blue makes your car more difficult to see and more likely to be in a front end collision. The blue also reduces your light output.
While not having amber reflecting or light turn signals is unlikely to get you in any trouble from the police, these lights scream out for all the wrong reasons.
As far as the railroad tracks, that's also not a good idea (as already stated). Cars can get stuck on railroad tracks when turned to be parallel with the tracks. That'd be worse than just some undercarriage damage from a little slip.
I'd recommend looking info some other headlights (stock US or overseas or even eBay lights) and a decent paint job. Removing the lower mesh would clean up the front too, but I'll try not to really get into my personal preferences too much (improperly placed sidemarkers, lip and words on upper grille shell).
Good luck with your car and I hope one day I can say I like it more.
