i got them today and i only took them out the box and i tried to install on my em2 (01-05 civic) cuz the em2 and dc5 are bascially the same car and these do fit but the teins have to much pressure and i couldnt even close my cf hood. but i bought them cuz some people havent had that problem but i would recommend a stock hood. everything is back in the original box. ive been a long time member on here and i got over 26+ on my trader rating over on 7thgencivic.com. i paid $150 shipped so make a reasonable offer ill take it. heres some pics. ill take paypal or money order. also some pics of the teins on a buddys car i know that has them.
