Front end questions

I have a couple questions i was hopeing you guys could help me out with. I need a new front bumper, grill, head lights, and hood.

For the head lights im thinking of getting these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33710
Do these seem like good ones, and do i need new light bulbs to make them bright enough. If so which are good. I dont want to do hid conversion, just what bulbs would work best.

For the front bumper i was thinking of getting the tsuanami fron spoiler.

Is this a quality product? and is it the entire front bumper? It sounds like it may not be, but im not sure.

For the Grill im thinking of getting a type Rs style:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33645
But can the RS be taken off, or at least shaved not to be bright red, that would look queer on my blue car imo.

Im thinking of just letting the body shop order the hood, he said he can get an aftermarket stock looking one for 250~, unless someone can point me in the direction of a cheaper stock looking hood. I dont want hood scoops or CF.

Thanks!

For the headlights, if you're not going OEM, get the TYC projectors. They're going to be the best aftermarket projectors you can buy.

That is just a lip from Tsunami. Sorry. You're going to have to buy a new bumper to bolt that thing onto.

I'd get the altezza-style grill instead of the RS. Looks much better.

Also, you can get a hood for about ~$250 yourself, but then you're gonna need paint. Check out http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com.

I kind of like the projectors that have chrome for the back, not that black plastic, are their TYC projectors like that? is TYC the company?

Chrome TYC projectors from RobearRacing. I've actually thought about picking up a set of these. Mose people like the black ones though.

Thanks dude, just ordered headlights, do i need to get new bulbs for that, theres alot of talk about them not being very bright? any suggestions on a front bumper, something not to far from stock. The stock one is 209 to replace, so i was hoping to get one for not to much more expensive than that. maybe 200-300 range. I have to order these today so than can be in asap.

I like this, if only they had one for my 02.

I don't know. I've heard rumors that they're not very bright. They do come with bulbs, but you might want to just go ahead and replace them with some MTECs. I think they're H1s in those headlights.

As for a bumper, I have no clue what to tell you to get. I really like the R33 and the Buddyclub2, which I actually have on it's way to me.

Take a look through the Member's Rides and find something that you like. That's all I can say.
