Rep Power: 0 the back lights??
the only thing you can really do to the back lights is to smoke them
just spray the back black... (it looks ok.. not that great)
How much?? clearing them is free... blacking them out is just the cost of the paint...
its a diy (do it yourself)

Rep Power: 0 Dret - I think the RSX guys were only charged $100 or something like that. $300-400 is probably them taking off the lights from the car and re-installing them. You should ask how much if the lights are already off the car.

Rep Power: 0 lol, where did you get yours? it might be too late to get that spoiler taken off now. i was getting my H shaved on the back of my car, so i was thinking i could take the spoiler off too, to settle that cd player thing. lol, but that was only if you wanted it.

Rep Power: 0 I got the grill off some seller on ebay....took about 2 weeks to get here...
I can never make up my mind about whether i like spoiler or no spoiler better....but after seeing Kit's car, i think i'm going to have to go spoilerless.....sooooo sweet looking when slammed.
If you want to give me the spoiler i'll definitely take it, but i'll turn around and sell it on eBay for like $130+ USD lol. If you reallly don't want it anymore, your best option would probably just be to sell it...that way it takes a bit of time/effort, but you get to pocket the extra money for yourself (like $80+ CDN). But then you have holes in your trunk lol. Your call man.

Rep Power: 0 well. i dunno. i might just leave it on. the only reason i wanted to do it. is cuz i was getting my trunk shaved today (the H emblem). so i thought i could tell him to fill the other holes too.

Rep Power: 0 Headlights
For those of you who want to do the Blacked out headlights. It is no different than clearing your headlights.
Except when you pull out the chrome piece, prime it and use an acrylic paint. Making sure to mask off the areas that you still would like to be chrome. It is super easy, and not worth paying $100 to be done.
As for the taillights. Someone mentioned that you can't do too much, unless you smoke them. Well yes and no, but just get a little creative with some tape and the smoke.
Here's a link to a pic of what I did on my tails.
