yeah i need to lower both side cuz i havent had the time to do it...even though it only take 2 seconds lol its the damn css fault hahah...for the bowl...i use a metal cuting scissor from my friend jewelry shop..that shit cuts good lol...it could have been even more straighter but my friend didnt know wut he was cutting it for lol but i sand it down a lil bit..

Yeah. Thanks. I gotta just try it out. I'm thinking whether I should do this on my stock head lights or some aftermarket angel eye ones. Or, I can use the OEM replica.. like the ones from Robearracing.:shrug: Though, I'd like to keep the OEM look as much as possible.

I saw these pics the other day. I don't remember where this was posted though (maybe Honda-Tech). Looks sweet.

Re: Another Retrofit Done
 
thats hot, crazyasian has retrofit stock lights too, he has custom shrouds made tho. but the ebay lights would work just fine since they are gonna get cut up anyways.
