DIY blk out headlights and a drop

got red/clear tails, Tsunami kit and painted it myself(not perfect but it'll do for now)

[green ej8]

thax 4 the comments guys... the greddy badge is there to cover up the scratches i made from takin off the dx emblum.. I know you guys are not big fans of body kits but i kinda like the tsunami kit... is not too much like some other full bumper kit(the rear atleast)..

and sorry for the pic quality, all the pics came from my phone camera...

thats pretty cool man.. looks good. i like the kit, but i woulda kept that n1, suits the kit better.

 

[c_diddy]

it looks good, but the rear bumper looks big...maybe putting the stock back on? and i feel you about the badge, i did the same thing too.

 

[Genuine Rolla]

[imdrew]

[bmyers4321]

car looks good dude. i love the rims too. how does the Greddy Sp2 sound. i have never heard one. is it quiet or loud or in the middle?

 

[Jibber]

nice car..looks good from what i can see..

 

[Jezek]

just get the kit painted and you'll be looking pretty good! It's really not too bad at all....

to CC...enjoi yoself!

 

[nighthawk]

What pain do U guys use to paint headlights? mat or "shiny" black?

 

[nickcivic27]

I like the kit. Not ricey or anything IMO.
The DIY headlights look good. How did you do it? Maybe you share it here for noobs like me

thanx 4 the comments... the car is dropped on TEIN SS springs.. the height is ok the ride is great! but i think they are too soft. If i were to do it all over again i would got some H&R sport springs!! i had them on my accord and it handles a lot better around corners!
The Greddy SP2 sounds great! its deff more on the quiet side...but thats really what i wanted. i had teh N1 style which didn't sound bad at all..it's just too loud for me!
as for the DIY headlights... i heat the headlights up in a preheated 300-350 degrees oven and opened them up.... after that just take the parts apart and mask off the parts that u don't want painted and spray away!! I used high heat flat black...but if i were to do it again i would use gloss black(since my car is black) just make sure u get some high heat paint..

your car is money. I usually hate kits, there is a molded orange civ in my lot dropping h22 but it dosent look so good. The Greddy SP2 is good since you only have a n1 STYLE before so i like the upgrade. The paint job is really bad tho please pay for it to get done you will not regret it.
