it dont have to be special lol, thsi a a progress thread its great to look back and see what all you have done to your civic, trust me i have tons of threads in here of projects i have done.

 

Yea yea lmao my moms coming into town in a few weeks so ima have to actually go clean my car and stuff haha im lazy as hell and thus dont want to do it til last minute haha i still cant convince my dad to let me get the stock 99-00 tails O.o ima have to either just tint my current ones or wait til college and buy new ones. But replacing my alt made me feel accomplished cause i had to figure out most of the work myself

Edit: well with the help of u guys haha

 

on the valve lash: cant stress enough, be very careful when taking off and replacing the valve cover bolts, cause they break like toothpicks. then you have to drill them out and it is the most annoying thing you could ever imagine.

I think black headlight housing would look good with your oem headlights, its a pretty easy DIY all you need is a blow dryer, black spraypaint, and some waterproof sealant.

Im dissapointed to hear you are gonna sell, but at least you still have a few years to enjoy it. I am not a fan of the 7th gen Si though, it looks like a tiny little minivan.

 

I used a blow dryer to keep the silicone warm after taking them out of the oven. Using a blow dryer only will take a little while. If you get antsy and rush, you also risk cracking the lenses. Ask me how I know

 

Haha yea im not gonna make my own black housing headlights cause ive seen first hand on my buddys cobalt how fast those can go tosh!t if they arent done 100% correct...so if i decide togo with some oem hid headlights evetually ima go black or maybe gun metal housing and MaximusFunk as far as me keeping the hatch goes we'll have to wait and see haha i love my baby dont get me wrong i just think id rather have a ep3 more haha either that or a mazda3 speed or a rsx haha but definitley during college work is gonna get done on her

 

You want a minivan? At your age?

 

eww, dont get a mazda, every one of them looks like the same ugly car except the protege and the miata which are ugly in their own respect

 

forget about your parents. get them shipped to a friends house. and gunmetal headlights FTW thats what i got. looks pretty cool. It kind of looks bronze or gunmetal in the sun and black in pictures

 

Then do it 100% correct. I dont see any problems in that logic

Especially the brand new 2010 mazdas that are out now. They all look grinning idiots from the front.



+1... or just break your current lights, tell you parents that ones on ebay (black housings etc) are cheaper than brand new OEM (~$350 from the dealer I would guess). Win. lol

 

very true JUST DONT BREAK THEM BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.... maybe just break the one, simple bat swing BUT BE CAREFULL not to hit the car, just hit the headlight lense right in the center... preferably toward the outter edge so you can say i dont know what happened i guess some truck backed into my car and just hit the headlight but dont destroy it completly... just break the outter lense so you can at least just slap some clear tape over it till the new headlights come in the mail so you wont be illegal and also wont blow your headlight bulbs
