those tail lights do not flow very well i hope you kept the stock ones and whats wrongwith the stock headlights they just need to be buffed out or get a restoration kit.cheap headlights will fog up.

personally i hate the altezzas (stock 04 05 is the best on a 7th gen) but if you really wanted to make them work on your car I think you'd need a set of shiny chrome wheels. right now, your tail lights are a little "out of the blue"
keep up the work though.

Lose the tailights, clear the stock ones and get a drop. A drop will set that car off nice.

Like the wheels, but not so much a fan of of the lights...they don't seem to "flow" well with the car. I think if you're going to go with Altezza's, the carbon-fiber ones (greyed/smoked) look much better...more understated and a little classier. :-P
Keep it up!

Re: My Civic...Opinions
everyone said the same thing about mine on here with my tails that came with my car that are pretty similar to yours (https://www.civicforums.com/forums/46-honda-civic-members-rides/327936-would-you-consider-rice.html)
ended up taking their advice and switching them out for 04-05 tails, was much happier with how it looked

Re: My Civic...Opinions
i agree with everybody else, get rid of those tails and put the stock 1's back on or even put on 04-05 stock tails <--they are even better
i love the rims and i love the mudflaps (want to get some for mines lol)
maybe get an altezza grill from ebay, maybe some fogs and a lip anddd remove that sticker on the windshield -__-
well thats my opinion =D
oh and maybe debadge

tail lights look horrible. Congratulations, you bought into a 10 year old fad and successfully made your car look cheap and outdated.

I had a guy approach me when I was stationed in south carolina that asked me (while approaching my civic from the rear) what year mustang I had.. So some people may need to be told it's a honda.

In that situation I would tell him its a Ferrari and that I am disgusted by his mistaken identification of a finely tuned Italian sports car for a mere mustang.

I wonder how those tails would look if instead of smoking them, put a clear red coating (or even get a shop to do a red candy coat) on them, except for the reverse light, of course..

Re: My Civic...Opinions
those actually do look pretty nice, i bet those altezzas would look pretty much like that if like you put the red coating on like riceboy said. thinking about maybe putting it on my old pair laying in my garage just to see how it comes out for curiosity's sake... where would they sell that kinda stuff?
