^yup, I did, sorry but no pics here at work, there's a local automotive paint store near me that mixes up custom spray cans, I've done my headlights and the old altezzas, opened them up and painted the chrome to match the EBP body.
Got the stock tails on now, but still have the headlights onl. I also painted the housings for the OEM Fogs, looks better

Soonercivic, i looked in your gallery and no pics of that green civic were there, just 4 of the NHBP civic. I think the TYC lights would look sweet since there would be more red and just the circles showing. Iunno, just sounds good in my head, but in person my look like sh*t.

i have some TYCs i painted with some walmart duplicolor royal blue paint. it's a really subtle difference and you cant tell the difference in color unless you're staring straight at it. even then, its really hard to tell.. oh, and if you didnt figure it out, my car is EBP

Mine are like the ones posted, but I didn't mask the small circle, just the upper corner and the headlight area itself

I think those projector headlight housing, if painted the same as the car (other than black on a black Civic) would look sick. I def. want to see one.

that white looks nice. but bright colors like that green dont really go well IMO.

original colors like white/silver/black contrast neatly unlike a bright red or green above.

I think those green ones look great. I don't know if I'd do it though, I'd probably go for gunmetal if I ever did mine.
