LOL!!!! Ok. sorry...that was just funny to me!

btw, from experience don't try to remove the finger prints with Window cleaners or anything like that...or else the chrome will fade.

I suggest keeping it like it is. I did the same to my civic. The chrome looks clean.

thats a negative on the black either clean it or just make it the same color as the car, black would just stick out

I say keep it chrome. But that's just my personal taste.

If you happen to paint it, use high temp paint. MugenRacerX said he had to paint his twice because the first paint he used couldn't handle the head from the headlights. I think he said he used engine epoxy paint (or something like that) the second time. No probs yet.

Wicked man. I suggest you paint parts of it black. Like the concept car civic with blacked out lights. it looks sporty. but it still depends on what your taste really is.

The concept car is the 170hp D17 engine with brembo 4 pot front brakes and modified suspension with rear disc brakes. I saw it on a magazine honda tunning, I think it was last march/april edition.
but check this site out. it's the same car from the mag.

black headlights look SO ugly on the light-colored civics (white, titanium, silver, etc.)... leave 'em chrome, or paint them silver to match the car.

I don't think the 170hp version will be available... but it's just my opinion. I hope it comes out though. that car would rule.
