Thank you both.
Those are the original stock side skirts. The rear lip is aftermarket.

Thanks.
No. Its a GrillCraft MX series '96-'98 Civic lower grille insert that originally came in silver but I spray painted in gloss black. I found it in a junkyard.
Here's what it originally looks like.... I cut slots out for the fog lights for a clean look.

Eh. Its definitely uncommon but I think it gives a more sleek look. Im happy with it.
Yup. This thread is about sharing my progress and my processes for input & to share knowledge & personal design tastes. As @CHILD stated elsewhere, contrasting his level of build with mine, both being '97HXs, shows people there are many different approaches to personalizing a car.That's the most important part!
It's definitely not at all about appeasing anyone. The moment you make your build about others first is the moment you lose all hope at being happy with what you accomplish.
I wish. They're aftermarket glass lensed fog lights courtesy of Amazon.com.
Makes me want to tint my car. What's next on the agenda?
Ha! I'll take that as a compliment.
Installing the SI strut bar I've had laying around for about 3 years. That would make for 3 overdue projects being completed.

Respected
I'm right there with you man, about not assuming a pre gap is accurate. I have gone through my fair share of NGK's for my civic, and after checking them, they all varied from to much to not enough gap. As for the iridium plugs ... well I had an accord with a K24 and it required iridium NGK's. When I was ready to replace them and got ready to check the gap, I realized 2 things: 1 the pre gap was within the tolerance and 2 the tip is so fine that you're almost too scared to break them as they cost $10 per plug. I had the same experience with my Odyssey with runs the same plugs as the K24 engine. Just food for thought ...
Glad you're one of the good guys though ... (using OEM approved parts and not falling for advertised bs)
Oh, I understand. However, Ive regapped iridium plugs before and it only takes patience to do so without damaging the iridium tip.
Thanks. I definitely prefer to use OEM Honda because its well known that their parts are superior to most aftermarket equivalents. However, I question everything until proven to be worthwhile. Im a research junkie for a reason.
What a drive home from work. Something darted out in from of me, got hit, and dented the newly installed grille while it shattered my driver side fog light.
A mile from that, some fool nearly side swiped me.
2 miles from that, some dumb f*ck in a turning lane for a shopping center decided at the last second they didnt want to turn then sharply just jerked into my lane while I was next to them and missed hitting me by inches thanks to my reaction time. Then they turned into the next entrance anyways! I was so tempted to pull in and scare the sh*t out of them.
Needless to say, Im just staying home tonight.

This thread makes me miss my Hx.
It wasn't as nice as yours, but I still miss it!
You should be able to access and back out the long silver bolt that holds the housing in, then just pull the housing out.

If I recall correctly, you don't need to remove the bumper to remove the light to access the bulb.
