then ill be ordering a type r front lip and rear lip which will be painted black

type s side skirts also black
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CIVIC...#ht_3580wt_948
type r style spoiler not sure if i want black or color matched
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...#ht_9488wt_828
and these projectors

i think you should not waste your money on those cheap poorly made ebay headlights. and don't put any wing on your car other the oem better yet no wing at all looks so much cleaner.and definitely don't paint the side skirts black color match them.

those are the only projectors they make for the 04-05. i think they are okay but a bit strange looking in black. what about the chrome ones?
this one comes with grill and fogs too

ive opened them before to do the black housings and its a pain in the ***...plus i could never get my driver side one to seal correctly and it fogs up all the time...no matter how many times ive taken it back apart and scraped all the silicone off and put new sealant on it still fogs...

1. do NOT buy that front lip. look for one that is POLYURETHANE. ABS will crack on you.
2. that is an ugly *** hideous tail. do do it.
3. those projectors are way over priced.
