An Idea..

well i was thinkin instead of doing a kit or anything i was going to piece something together that i thought would look alright..

kalimnari front lip , HFP sides and stock 04 rear bumper..just to do something a lil different but not outrageous.. i want to do it more for cleanliness to add exterior apperance but nothing gawty..

also other exterior mods (currently on the car )..
Elegante by TYC black projectors
04 tails

whats your guys opinions.. its something i can do thats not to noticeable but if you know what your looking for youll see it..

maybe an m3 style spoiler ( i think thats what its called.. the one that only mounts the the trunk and above the tail lights and goes up like 1.5 inches )

Get a Civic Hybrid spoiler and I think you'd be good to go

well im not really that good at electrical stuff like modding projector housings to work with a different projector or wire up 10k hid or stuff like that

the elegantes came to me for cheap ( 60 new ) so i bought em because i was in need of other headlights seeing how i was hit and run at that time... but anyways

what other kinds of projectors are there? .. i like my elegantes a lil but i wish they were slightly brighter or i just need to get foglights...


but most of my reason for doing the idea i wanna do is to get the factory fog lights.. i neglected to mention i do have a Honda pair of factory fog lights for my civic but i just havent got around to installin them ..

i was thinking the civic hybrid spoiler too but its piece on the trunk has the spoiler cut out for the inner tails i have a 2 door if you didnt know..



myk1013 i like it .. its clean..
the ultralite weight steelies up front for drag racing .. ( lol jk )

i just have looked thru this site during boredom hours and found kit after kit after kit and none have appealed to me so i figured id piece something together that i would like .. the only kit i really like is the bomex front but its FG and i know from friends FG is a bitch.. id buy it if it were to come in PU but it doesnt ...

oh okay yea for light output tyc is the best. just make sure you aim them. it should look like this on a wall 25ft away and the cutoff should be about 2 inches below the height of the headlight. here a pic of tyc. and also you can get the osram +50 silverstar clear bulb from ebay they are 300 lumens more light than stock bulb
