$350 to prep, paint and install. Wasnt hard to match the paint at all....Guess silver is an easy color to match.

Looks great. I'm liking the Xenon kit more and more lately. Although the way the rear is made for a dual exhaust kinda sucks. Kinda begs for a dual exhaust. They should make a single exhaust option for that kit.

Yep yep. I noticed. Good kit for lowering too. Doesn't hang as low or stick out as much. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Looks nice.. You can see the slight color mismatch (the bumber is slightly darker thant the hood and fenders). I have a xenon kit also on a silver car. I had the same problems. Same with another friend of mine. Color is the hardest to get straight. As for the rear valance, It's made for a single exhaust, but looks like it's dual. If you were to put a dual on there, you would melt the hell outta the bumber. I have my stock exhaust still and I'm melting mine a little.

I got my bumper from 301civic5, I think his name is....on the board here. I paid $245 for the bumper shipped to my house. In the future I will probably get the Xenon Sides and Wing West Avenger rear. Right now I am leaving it how it is.

yeah mine looks ok during the day but at night if you shine some headlights on it you can tell how much darker the front kit is. i should have taken it to honda. o-well. front looks good you should paint the grill though or get black headlights. one thing i had to do after i got mine painted was take it back and have them fill that stupid xenon emblem up front. everyone on here flamed me for it and i'm suprised nobody said anything to you. keep savin up it'll turn out good.
