HUGE Thanks to xRiCeBoYx for helpin me out with these ideas.. I put together a few things for my car that i think will make it look amazing. And i'd like input on how you guys think it looks too.. now dont hate on me for the way i did it.. i dont have photoshop or nothin fancy.. so i got pics of what i wanted, and put them in paint ontop of a pic of the front end of my car, and used paint to fill in the colors so you can see what it'd look like. i was thinkin about a black upper grill, a black diamond mesh grill for the lower part, doing the black garage door seal lip thing, and getting some sweet headlights i found. i have a hard time lookin for stuff without picturing it on my car, so this is what i made. let me know what you think this will look like! thanks!



the headlights i found on ebay, and the link is:

i love em, i think they are sick lookin, but wanted to know if any of you had these, or have bought anything from this company on ebay. i found some rims i like too to go with this theme.. but i wanna know what you guys think first.

civicchick2001

these are the rims i'd throw on her if i went with this theme..

i love MSR wheels and these i think would look sweet.

Mac25 has the same headlights, I think he got them as a package deal with a rs grill. Check out his build thread and see how he likes them.

Those rims would look amazing on your car, you have excellent taste!

civicchick2001

why thank you! i just think if ur goin with a more darker theme then the rims have gotta be dark. but i also like how these rims have that silver outline just to give it some more sexiness! lol.. kinda ties in any silver on my car into the black as well.

and yeah, ill get on that about askin him about his headlights.. i think they look sweet, at least in the pics, and wouldnt look too bad on my car.

but thank you again

civicchick2001

hey, just checked out his lights, they are a tad different than the ones i am lookin at.. looks like the same general idea, but i think his has that strip on top of light and the little light on the side is smaller than the ones i am lookin at.. from what i can tell in the pics.. but i dont know what the ones i am lookin at would look like on a car.. or if they are a pain in the butt to deal with. i dunno we'll see. any suggestions are welcome.

hopefully you dont plan to drive at night with those lol. all the aftermarket lamps for our cars suck unless you change out the projector with a better one.

yeah don't get those cheap ebay headlights stock is way better . why not just DIY paint the stock ones ???. and those rims look very generic in my opinion.

civicchick2001

i like the rims.. alot. lol..

and if these type of headlights suck, then which ones should i get? i want em somewhat like these.. so if u know of any good ones, please let me know. i dont like the stock ones at all, even painted or cleaned or whatever.. i want some sick lookin headlights lol..

so where is the best place to get em?

they all suck, so just pick the one that looks best and be careful at night. the tycs are prolly the best because at least they passed certification and are road legal. here is a pic when i had em. not great, but at least you can see something. ebay has the cheapest tycs for around $125 shipped now for chrome/black/silver

civicchick2001

well thanks for being honest lol.. and it does suck that they all suck. but i will check those out again. i had looked at them before, but didnt know they came in black as well. thanks for that

civicchick2001

Those are actually mine. My video, even. hahaha

Mine started off as black, but I picked up a rattle can of EBP paint from automotivetouchup.com and painted them. Also installed the CCFL angel eye on them, mounted with 3m double sided tape

civicchick2001

omg that is crazy.. of everyones on there, i find yours! lol.. well, i like em alot..

are these the ones on ur car currently?

xRiCeBoYx

Yep. Slightly different HID setup I have with 'em, but same headlight assemblies. If you look at the video description, it links to my HID thread.. haha

civicchick2001

haha too funny.. well i "liked" them on youtube so you can see that next time ur on there lol..

im still lookin around for some i really like.. and i know the headlights are just the enclosure as far as i know, but how much do the bulbs run for some of this stuff? or do some of them come with the required bulbs? i have no clue about any of it..

i found these just a few min ago.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-02...Q5fAccessories

do they suck?

they look good but the light out put sux

civicchick2001

do all/any of the headlights come with the actual light bulbs u need? or do you have to get them seperatly?

civicchick2001

startin a new project

just went to JoAnn's and picked up some board, some trunk colored felt, and a few other things to make a trunk lid liner to cover up my dynomatted stuff. i HATE the way it looks now and i think this is just gonna be good lookin.. im thinkin im gonna buy either a civic emblem or a honda emblem and pop it on the liner thing.. just make it even better..

cant wait to start it!

I'm not entirely sure, but I think they come with at least the hi/low beam bulbs. If not, they're almost always H1 bulbs for each high beam and low beam

MindBomber

Until you get into higher end brands it's hard to find something that isn't somewhat generic looking, especially in a seventeen, so I think those are hella nice wheels for what they are. I'd love to see a set of axis og hayashi racing replicas on an em2, but those definitely aren't for everyone..

lowlife9

hella nice lol the axis cherry blossoms look ok but there just not as nice in high offsets. i wouldn't mind getting some Rota Shakotan wheels doe. im also really likin these 949R's what you think ??

civicchick2001

i think it definetly comes down to taste 100% in rims.. a lot of people can agree on cars and whatever, but details as far as rims.. that's what gets complicated and you just gotta go with what YOU like. im not a huge fan of that particular kind, but not to say they would look bad on a car by any means. i just like the spokes to go from the wheel well to the center as deep as they can really.. if they are cut like that one, they are more "shallow" or "short" as i'd say.. and im not a fan of the spokes bending in towards the wheel either.. i like em straight, edgy, and not too short.. BUT that's just me. if that kind is what you like, then by all means, that's cool.
