that looks really sweet man but my only problem is that my taillights are not like those ones. My stock ones have the the yellow turnsignal lens. but they look sweet might do that to them to see how they turn out.

lol word of advice if you do remove the "Civic" emblem, dont use a rotary tool with a felt tip to get that adhesive crap off. I spent 45 minutes with goo gone and different rags to try and get the hard green stuff off but nothing worked. It was way different than my DX emblem, that came right off and the glue wasnt as hard. So a grabbed a hella soft felt pad threw it on the dremel and buffed away. The green stuff came off, along with the paint......the felt got so hot from spinning it burnt the clearcoat right off. Big mistake and everytime i look at it i realize how much of an idiot i am........so dont be stupid like me!!!!

to remove that grim layer get some 600grit sandpaper and some 200grit sand paper... sand off most the dirtly looken stuff off and then switch to the realy fine 2000 grit sand paper.... then onces its smooth and clean get some fine rubbing compound and give it a realy nice shine and then wax it.... should look like it was never thier...
thats how i did my trucks side molding... it was realy dirty crapy looken under it! did those three steps and shined it back up and it looked like it was never thier
tho i think ill keep the CIVIC and just paint the H symbol black and pop it back on... and just remove the EX symbol....
