handoer 27, def. keep it cleared.. it looks good and it complements the polished lip.. besides almost EVERYONE has blacked out lights... =P


drew.. i may suggest that you leave yours too. it makes the car stand out. but whatever you choose, it would look clean.. cuz gunmetal would match ur wheels. IMO cleared.. lol.

i used a blow dryer to heat up the tar type of stuff holding the lens together, then i took a screw driver to pry it apart. after it was apart there were some phillips head crews holding it down and 1 T10 i believe torque screw holding in the main reflector. tafter it was all apart i pulled out both reflectors (orange and clear) and used a high grit sand paper to sand down all the chrome i wanted black. then masked off the spots i wanted chrome with masking tape, and primed the light with plastic primer after that dried 3 coats of flat black paint once it all dried took the tape off screwed everything back together, and used GEII clear Window/Door silicon to put it back together

thats my quick DIY, rep me

oh here for you people who want to see pics. http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=217205 pretty much every step.

Drew! You gave in! Don't black them out! That makes your car special! If you black them out you're just gonna be another red EM2, only really clean! Don't do it!

good job!
the blackout goes well with the theme

altezza grille would look good
but you should be happy with what you have
why don't u paint the grille black so it looks like the H is floating
