Pics of my newly fixed front end

OK, I still need some work done to the right fender and bumper but this is as good as my car has looked in months. Also, I need to get some more things for the hood itself and I plan on installing LED windshield washer lights that are connected to my turn signals. What do you think so far?

Lookin' good. I like it. I wonder if that works to pull out the heat from the engine. Do you notice a decrease in engine temperature?

Hey Nice...

Now all you need is a wee suspension drop and you're car will be pimped [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. for now it's a sweet car.. but not yet pimped.

Cheers

Its cold where I live anyway but when I drove to Phx (about 2 hours away) I noticed that the engine temp was cooler than normal. I got it for $500 + shipping from R-Speed

Would a cf hood look good on a white car?

Nighthawk: My reverse scoop is a functional one too.

Hondadude: Try looking for a picture of another white civic with a cf hood and see what you think. If you do get one be prepared for a lot of people to touch it. I took my car to a show this last weekend and there were so many fingerprints on it when I was done. Everyone thinks they can feel the fibers even though its got a clear coat on it.

IMO no, but i dont like them on any light color, just makes the car look like it was in an accident and you were too cheap/lazy to paint the replacement hood you got from the junkyard[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

i dunno... i like grey's Cf better the monster hood looks better, and a lot more agressive, but the rest of the car isn't aggressive enough to match it[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

speedracer- I wrecked my car and I figured that buying a stock hood and having it painted would have put me in about the same price range as my cf hood. I went for it.

I was thinking about the LED sprayers but Im not sure. I have the stock ones but Im trying to firgure out how to run the hose under the hood to the sprayers. There are no holes like in the stock one for the clamps that hold the hose.
