lower it even just springs will work. also a lot of people have done it but clearing the headlights looks good as long as your the only one in your town with it done. thats my .02

Howdy.

[$0.02] Save up and get a Tsunami body kit. That'd look hott on a black Civic, especially paired with some TYC projector headlights. [/$0.02]

cool... for the headlights there's a DIY but it's easy you have to first take off the front bumper and then take off the headlights theres i think it's five black clipsthen just peel it apart and the amber piece snaps out of place with no hassle and for some reason when you put it back together, I put mine back together without adding anymore of that sticky junk and put the clips back on and i have no fog or NO problems with sealing.

the tails use about 30% reducer and 70% black paint. just when you spray them give it a couple of seconds to take it's shade it'll get darker after applying. thats how i did mine about a year ago it's dark enough and it's also light enough to where. i haven't been told anything about it yet.

welcome to the site. heres quick advice. lol. if your new to honda too listen up. if you bought the extended 100k warranty, careful what you mod. your car uses 5-20 oil and nothing else. only use honda MTF. anything else will literally kill your tranny. and good luck with the mods.

To smoke the tails? Easy, go to a hobby shop and get the tint spray for model cars for tinting the windows. They're small 2.5 oz I think, cans, I used 3 of them on every set of tails I've done. I used it on my new ride's tails (Ranger). Just make sure to put a few layers of clearcoat on them after you tint them.
