Lookin to buy parts, don't know where to go!

So far I found a paint shop that will do the things I want, but I need the stuff first. Where would I go to find flares for an 03 civic coupe ex??? A site is fine, but does anyone know of any awesome auto sport shops in Phoenix AZ??? like for imports: engine upgrades, body upgrades, etc etc

I also want some black projector headlights, and the eyelids.

Also, is it possible to just paint two thirds of the carbon fiber hood, or do you buy them two thirds fiberglass? (ie., split the hood down towards the front of the car three ways and leave the center hump carbon fiber, paint the outer two thirds).

Finally, is it better to buy metal flares and weld them, or for my money should I buy fiber glass ones, sand the paint off the car, epoxy them on and mold them into the body before I paint the whole damn thing.

I've only got about 2 or 3 grand to play with (depending on other finances besides my car) and I mainly just want to get the flares and eyelids done, and paint the whole car (it already has an R34 body kit)

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

you can get flares from www.wingswest.com

black projectors can be found right here on the forum, look in the for sale forum. or try www.ebay.com for your money.

it is definetly possible to just paint two thirds of your cf hood. there is a cf hood for sale right now on the forum.

i would get the fiber glass flare if you are money wise.

Wish I knew some good shop in AZ. I know some guy that does side work, like painting bumpers. He says 150-200 per bumper, but he does a good job. He did my moms bumpers last week. For like 300, he would repaint my front and back bumper, and fix a bunch of f***-ups on em.

He'll also fix a lot of maaco's wrong doings he said when he does it, so I trust he is a lot better than maaco.

I posted pics of my civic now. Just click my name and "see my ride." The pic all the way to the right shows the most up to date detail but it still doesn't do justice. But as you can see now what I'm trying to do with my hood. Just mentioning incase anyone wants to know what it looks like.

EDIT: And I have another question. My front street glow bulb broke and I just clipped the bulb at both ends. Do I just need to buy a new bulb and install it right there? Is it easy?

Thanks
