Back 2 stock Front End. Who wants my stuff?
I got a little tired of the raced out look and wanted a change. So I put the stock hood back on and figured out how to put my HID bulb into my OEM lamps. I like the look better so here's what I'm selling. The hood: I bought hood pins and modified the hood so that the pins fit in a stock hole on your upper crossmember. Right now it's cover with black vinyl on the edges and middle that look almost identical to the NBP paint (which none of the AZ legion of SSM civics have!) but it could be wrapped in silver if you ever decide to do so. Dragin bumped another car with it when he had it and it put a few cracks in the hood. I sanded the best that I could to make certain that it would not show up through the vinyl. Hood looks great, but I think I'm done with it. If you want it PM me with an offer.
My headlights: I used silver Sonar projectors and had everything except the chrome rings painted NBP. It now has dual halos with BLUE leds. The cool part though its the fact that it has Audi S4 HID projectors already installed. I kept my Ballasts and bulbs, but if you want to have HIDs here's the best way to do an OEM retrofit. Look at all the posts about poor quality aftermarket ones. OEM is the best quality and these projectors will give you the cool colors on the cutoff of the projector. Oh, that and you can make street signs like up a half mile away easy. They are not sealed around the projector in the rear and only fogged up after I had installed the CF hood (which sprays water into the engine bay when you wash it). Other than that I've never had an issue with the OEM hood on and the condensation dissappears almost immediately. You'd just need to buy the ballasts, bulbs, and do a little wiring.
I've got over $350 into them, not counting the labor to install and paint. They are used though so I'd be willing to sell for $300. I'll also give you a spare set of inner bezels in case you want to repaint it to the color of your car.
My head will be done soon too, so if anyone is thinking about doing a port and polish on their Civic, I have an extra 03 EX head.
THE LIGHTS AND THE HOOD ARE IN MY SIGNATURE BELOW

Rep Power: 355 I dunno yet. I don't really like the amber, but I'm not sure I want clear or black either. Maybe I'll spray the bezels NBP.
