I think it could be better in real then on this picture...but...hey do you think it worth it? I personnaly think it would be better to spend this money on a body kit or on some wheels and suspension....but that's just me...!

im sure it will look alot better than the picture. i plan on doing this when i put my car in the shop for the body kit install.. in about 2 months my car is going in the shop to have the following things installed: Full Tsunami Bodykit w/Rear Roof Lip, M3 Mirrors, Z3 Fenders, Z3 Sidemarkers, Carbon Fiber Hood, and Is300 Lights. I have been saving money for quite some time, by march i should have saved the money to do all of the stuff listed above

I dont like your choice of Eurolites. I think the IS300 conversion is tight, but not with that choice of housings.

I am doing that but I am leaving the OEM Honda lights. I LUV the U in them. So basically I am just adding the 2 trunk lights.

The first one is hella ugly. The second one is allright I guess... I wouldn't bother though. Focus on something that will actually get you some praise from the elite instead of just stares from the masses.

hmm wow I must be the wierd one then.
I actually like the second one, but if we were to get the same IS300 circle lights, would the size be right? I mean there must be some dimentional differenences between the civic and the is300 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
I should look into it more

Me too, the IS300 trunk lights were like so 3 years ago Nopi Nationals. Okay I'll quit talking like some vally girl bish. IMO you could spend that money into something that will look a lot better. Get some wheels. Wheels get noticed on your car before anything else.

well, if you're going with the circles, I think it would look better with these tail lights.

i was thinkin as a cheaper route, just get the trunk lights, then get some black housing altezzas.. not sure yet.. this was just an idea, not 100% sure if i am going to do it or not its alot of money to spend.

IMO, Do it after you do some engine work and rims and stuff. Nothing worse then a hooked up honda rollin on the OEM plastic hub caps. And as far as I go, I know I have to paint the kit. After winter! Nothin worse then a unpainted kit too. i have a long and elaborate reason why.

Any way, I have yet to see a conversion here in MD. As far as I know I have one of the most hooked up civics in MD. I said ONE OF, there are a couple that are pretty nice. I think i may go with my original design, No. 2. As far as it trying to be something it isn't. Look at all the civics I see with the sidemarker lights. Never try to be, just be!

thats not bad, but i personally dont like it. im gonna do something far more custom to my tailights [and headlights] when i get some time.

btw, if you do that conversion your car should have emblems that say IS170
