Cheers mate, not as far as im aware, There a mates just borrowing them while swapping the hubs over.
Anyway after buying a set of Jdm rear lights the centers were leaking so thought id buy some new ones. Bought 50/50 inners insted as I rekon they look at little fresher. Here they are, pictures fitted when it arrives back!
Comparing them against originals
Heres just a taster of what else is to come in the future, Skunk2 Stage2!!!!
After seeing this done in the states and needing cup holders in the civ decided to give this ago. Firstly ordered ford taurus cup holders from the states about 5weeks ago and they arrived today!!!
Had to modify the braket holding them both in place but gives you an idea
And the finished product
Cant wait to get it all back in the car, needs a bit of fetling to make it sit properly but will do this when in the car.

Your build is coming along nicely. I can't wait to see it with fresh paint! What color were you going for?
Its staying captiva blue just nice an fresh again. Had a few problems with the body shop so its been put back a week or 2, bit frustrating but nevermind, itll be home soon!!!
I got a present from the bodyshop the other day and was quite shocked at the state of the car. The inner arch on the near side was completely rotten, this large bit of bog came out of it from last time it was bady repaired and the sill had to be made up from scratch as it rotted away to dust. heres my sovieneire from the work being done
So far though front end has been preped and the near side quater has been cut out and welded so other side then full paint job.
Decided to buy these aswell the other day for when I buy some coilies

nice build so far keep up the good work
how much did your bodywork and paint job cost?
body work looks great as does the fresh paint! Keep up the good work man :
Paint job and new arches was quite pricey, but well worth it, its now such a solid car and the finish is spot on!!!!
been a little bit busy the last few days, including early this morning. Full interior is back in and integra hubs are almost all on. had to change over a lower ball joint this morning on one of the front hubs and the proceeded to fit to the car.
Freshly cleaned interior now featuring Gathers!!!!
And abit of work on the front hubs

So today was a busy one finishing off fitting the integra hubs. The last front hub to change was proving to be a little bit of a challenge as the hub nut would not come off, how ever long the breaker bar was etc. So i decided to just use a new cv joint on the old shaft.
The offending hub and shaft
After beating the old cv joint off the shaft everything went smoothly mean the car is now sat on all four integra 96 spec rims
Next task is just finishing touches basically, so fitting 1" master cylinder and new HEL braided hose thanks to Gerry at PreformanceTek!! Also got braided clutch line at the same, but will change that at a later date

car looks good man
Started to change over servo and master cylinder today. As you can see the integra servo is a little bit larger than the Vti item so should help abit.
Managed to get the old one out without to much hassel
picture of them both together, to compare size!!
Bit of a nightmare getting the larger integra one back in, and also had a problem when it came to fixing lines back upto the MC itself, this being the reason
The connection for the hose on the right one (integra type r) is smaller than the fitting on the left one (civic Vti) if anyone has done this swap and come across this problem I would appreciate it if they could give us some advice on how to fit the two together.
