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.

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
