When I get e-bay fogs one of these days, I'll black them out but the factory fogs don't come apart...i tried and busted the lense in half...also, centers of the rims will be flat black soon.....

did a quick search and didn't find an answer. how long does it take to remove the bumper? how hard is it? i'm going to be doing this for a headlight retro, but was wondering how long i need to budget for the install. thanks.
Heck yeah! Gotta give a shout out to Viper for this great DIY! At first I didn't want to black them out because I was afraid I would mess up, but if you can change the oil and oil filter on your civic, you're overqualified to do this. I followed this DIY to the t except for the sanding part. It took about 4-5 coats on each piece, but the results are well worth it. Reasealing them was easy to me, the longest time being spent on taping them up! Enjoy! 674999/674880_290_full.jpg[/IMG]

anyone willing to add some advice on how to mask off parts of the chrome that I dont want painted? ie. sidemarkers and turn signals look...how fragile is the chrome? is it easily damaged by painters tape or fingerprints?

The orange reflector piece simply pops out, and the chrome parts you don't want painted, just tape over it with painters tape. The chrome isn't fragile and painter's tape will not lift the chrome off if that's what you're worried about. If your fingers are all dirty and sweaty, you can leave fingerprints on the chrome, but it's easily fixed by cleaning the chrome before resealing the headlights back together. This should have been the first mod I did when I got my civic. It's simple, cheap, and looks a hell of a lot better than stock.
Did mines over the weekend. Skunk2civic04 pics really help thanks. Vipers pixs no longer is up. I went different route and painted mines dupli-color gunmetal. Thought black was just too dark for the SSMs. Didnt sand down or none. Just used the dupli-color adhesion spray. Took about 7hrs for me. Most of the time is due to waiting for the paint to dry.
