Default Finally got it back

well I have spent the last month fixing the car after my girlffriend over parked the car and completely ripped my front bumper... When that happened I was completely stock... then when i got the front bumper i just couldnt stop getting stuff for the car and this is what i got.... and still not finished.... let me know what u think.....













Big thanks to showstoppers for such a great price on the hood fits better than my stock one.... Thnks to mario paint and body for the awesome paint job, import wheels in miami for the good price on the wheels, joel from jdm maniacs for the headlights, dunlop for the free tires that i won at H.I.N, Ken from shine auto for the nismo kit and the great customer service even though fitment is not perfect but for being a replica it was good quality.... Also thnks to speed shop for helping me get to 375 rw hp.....

the lights work fine but i put yellow bulbs for the high beams, and the only thing is that i lost visibility with the longlight but when u paint them like this you can see the hid and the yellow accent on the bottom, where as if u didnt do this then the high beam will completely over power the hids

i def. like the look you got going on. i have a ppw too. with my lights my first concern is saafety and being able to see. then come looks. I use my high beams quite a bit. if i were to paint my lights like your would i lose light quality at all? I am assuming your high beams dont really work at all. It sure looks good tho.

they work and you can see them but it really doesnt light up the street.... the only light you are gonna see even with the hids and high beams on... are the hids... but you see the hids perfect and they light up the street just like if the headlight were not painted

the paint isnt off... the pictures of the car withoput the cf hood was when i just got the car back from the shop where they installed the kit... So i have a fresh new bumper not dirty... with the rest of the car which was filthy... so much dirt that it makes my wheels look gunmetal instead of bronze....

just curious, what do you have that produces 375 whp as you claim? I don't see an intercooler so I'm assuming you are NA? Perhaps the guys who hooked you up can give me some magical numbers too?

Very nice and clean in the pics with the white hood, the pics with the black hood make it look like at typical Civic IMO
