Sorry if I missed it, but do these Certifit parts come painted or no?

$34 for a front bumper cover is ****in bad ***. Might be worth replacing mine at that price (FMIC hole in the bottom grill)

.....or maybe I'll just put black mesh in there

don't worry about the yellow fog lights, they look beautiful on my car at least.

i would've preferred the type r wing too, it looks more aggressive and complements the body lines of the hatch better, but the spoon is alright i guess.

seems like it'll look a lot like my car, other than the fact that you're using cf.

are hid's just a type of light bulb? because i was researching at this one sight and they said that you needed a special housing for it or something. can someone explain it to me?

Not a fan of the CTR wing personally, too flarry for my taste. I'm like very simple smooth body lines. The spoon looks just like stock only a bit bigger.

I'm not sure myself on how the HID kits work, I will have to wait to get mine in before I can figure out what's going on. A friend of mine has a kit, a cuttoff, and can see sooo much better than I can with his lowbeams so I decided to go with them. What the hell right, lol.

ya just be sure to adjust your headlights good and it will be fine.... i have mine adjusted about right and ive never been flashed.... but some people slap the HID kits in and get flashed all the time.LOL cause they dont adjust thier headlights.

i wanna do a retro fit BUT they just aint cheap to do

can someone explain to me what a retrofit is and how much money are we looking at for one of these kits?

and i'm guessing that they're not just light bulbs right, gotcha
