go opal man, chrome isnt for civic's its for luxury cars... it also might help if u give a picture or description of ur car. Chrome IMO will only go with a black car.

on red cars, im more of a fan of either black if you have cf on the car, bronze/gold, or even white. but if i had to choose one of those, i would choose the opal. chrome isnt good on civics

opal in your case. although i think that chrome can look good on a white civic too.

Opal, I have a black civic and I don't like the chrome at all on it (some people in my area put it on), I'm going for black rims.

Yea i have a pic of a car on cardomain.com and its also a red civic but has 19" Konig Prophets on it that are Opal, I like both just didn't know which one to do.

Tomorrow my window tint gets put on and new stereo put in as well, just wondering about the factory tweeters, how will they install the aftermarket tweeter in there? Or can they?

Would chrome projectors look good? I didn't know since i'm getting Opal wheels if chrome headlights would look good with them, thats why i though black would look good. How do you clear your headlights?

Well i got my tint 15% all the way around, and my stereo installed, they just took my 1" Kicker Tweeters and trimmed the hole from the factory location and installed it, looks perfect, like it was meant to be there. Hopefully soon I will add 1 Kicker S12L7 and 600.1 to it also. I'm ordering the 18" Konig Prophets (Opal) Monday and hopefully will get shipped and arrive the same week (HOPE). I'm going with a tire size of 215/35/18 on there, is that good?
