Alluring Effects of BLACK-OUT HEADLIGHTS: PICS!!!
 

Just thought I share my fruits of labor. It was one hell of a night; I spent 7 hours blacking out my lights and went paint crazy and painted the Honda emblem mesh and spark plug cover as well :lol:

Full shot of the front - I know I know... scoop was from the old ricer days :o

Overall, not such a hard job, just time consuming. The hardest part was getting the headlights apart. Damn that black tar Honda uses on the coupes. Thank God I have a heat gun :_bow:. I'm pretty satisfied with what I did. Blacked out lights makes a whole world of difference :hgrin:

Headlights look good man, but omg, i just about fell out of my chair when i seen that hood scoop, HAHAH, that is about the dumbest looking thing i think i have ever seen in my life.

You are going to take it off, righttttt? righhttt?

I like that cover, what kind of paint did you use for it?

Nice work! I'm especially digging that red 'H' emblem:tup:

Yeah, hood scoop will be off by summer and replaced by carbon fiber hood!!! Man.... I can't believe I did that - it was two years ago when I was in High School and I just slapped everything on :rofl: Now I'm going for the clean look. So shameful of my High School days :lol:

Paint I used for the spark plug cover was "Racing Red" High Temp caliper paint from Autozone. For the Headlights, 1 coat of high temp engine primer and 2 coats of high temp black engine paint. :rockon:

lmao the hood scoop isnt even centered..
cant wait to see that thing off man.
good job on the headlights..looks good

it has a nose :)

i like the amber piece on all the civics but the blacks. looks great on white:tup:

yea summer is about 2 months away. How could u even roll with the hoodscoop like that for even another week ?

that hood scoop is killing it....

hahahahahaha is that scoop even functional?

Why did you guys think I put so much effort into blacking out those lights?? I was hoping the blacked out lights would balance out the hideous scoop :roflmao: As far as waiting for the summer, that is when I actually work full time and taking some time off from college, so the $$$ will be heading my way.

Plans for the summer includes:
1) Plain carbon fiber hood
2) Upgrade 16" chrome rims to 17" black rims with polished lip
3) Destroy mirror tint and get DARK black tint
4) Get 04-05 coupe tail lights
5) Maybe a small drop? Not certain - too many potholes in Houston
6) Paint calipers & drums RED!!!!! :rockon:

I'm on a major make-over roll here :sweet: That's if I don't get tempted into buying a sportsbike.

buy a sportsbike...no point in spending money on the civic if you arent gonna boost it or something...nice lights though

I think if you rip off that scoop now, even if it takes paint with it, it will look better. I wouldn't wait.

:lol: hes got a point...

hahahah i bought one of those scoops too and i was like 5 minutes away from putting it on and i thought....wow im a fvcking idiot thinking this will look good so i just i painted it white and slapped it on my friends station wagon...man thats one pimp wagon :roflmao::lol:

maybe taking off that scoop might add a few hp and tq! :lol: jk...nice painting overall!

You guys are too much :lol: I knew I'd get flame for that scoop, but at least someone bought one just like me - just had some sense in him to not put it on :lol: This site has really influenced me into the right direction. Thanks to all who contributed into this thread whether if it's a compliment or contructive criticism.

Hey, we've all done something or thought about doing something questionable before, headlights look nice though man!

Hood scoop looks Ghey! pooper toucher Gay...:moon:
