this is just exterior right now ill put pictures of the car soon.
please tell me what you think.
thanks.

 

i like all of it, are you going to paint match the lips and the grill?

 

yes sir sure am. im not sure bout smoked tail and head lights or clear projectors for headlights and si red and clear taillights.

 

Don't do the projectors. They look so out of place on Civics.

If you are unsure about the smoked head lights, there are some other similar options.

I personally think you should go with one of these kinds instead of the smoked ones though. I don't think the smoked ones will look right with the yellow foglights... think of how the headlight housing will be really dark looking and the fog lights will be really bright looking... it'll make the fogs stick out like an eyesore because everything else on the car would be dark colored. I guess what I am saying is that if you want to pull off the yellow foglights look, you need some more contrast in other parts of the car.



If you want smoked taillights, get different ones. Look closely at those taillights... the lens is perfectly clear, it's not fluted (the ridges) like the stock ones. They are really cheap looking. Also, you'll be able to see the actual bulbs in the light (something that IMO is pretty tacky... my front turn signals are like that but no one makes del Sol one-piece black headlights with a clear fluted turn signal, only a weird shaped orange one... really "grinds my gears" lol)

Check these out instead, they look more like OEM quality but they aren't OEM. They look more like they belong on the car.

yeah ok i gotcha. and i see what you mean about the orange, but i do like the stuff you requested me. i was wondering if someone could do a photoshop of the headlights i picked and taillights? and whatever else they can photoshop i have in the list.

 

I like all the stuff you picked out except the taillights and headlights. I would suggest just getting some 99-00 Taillights and just keep your stock headlights(assuming they're in good condition). But as long as you paint your lips and grille to match your green, i think it will look really nice. Post some picks up of the car, i wanna see it

 

thank you.
and my stock headlights well lets just say the second day of having the car wasent to good.
mom drives a 93 toyota tacoma with 31 1050 tires it sits just high enought to crack the housin in the headlight and dent my fender in and when i say dent i dont mean a little qaurter size dent i mean like a tub dent! but thank god she deals with body parts and was able to get a fender for free and get it painted for free!!! but the headlight really isnt noticeable. but now that you say that keep that headlights im thinking bout keepin the lights stock. might get some clear and red taillights though. and just go to my picture album and theres alot of pictures on there.

 

I think almost all of the things in this list look great and i like your ideas for the lips. They'll look good on your coupe once its all painted.

However the only thing i dont like that u have in this list is the headlights. I know that theyre the ones that Trust showed you but i think you should go for the other ones that he posted the link to. Thats just my personal preference though, the ones u like probably wont look too bad with the yellow fogs your looking at.

But i just looked at your garage and your car looks prety nice. The only thing that kills me is that muffler's tip! Does that thing at least sound good? Cause if not id suggest getting a new tip welded on if possible cause that doesnt look good. Everything else on your car looks prety nice though.

 

it actually sounds good. i was surprised. but yall are confusing me on the headlights!

 

I was saying that i like these headlights better than the ones u have in ur first post:

I know there isnt a big difference but it looks good to me.
