Instead of buying new headlights did you try wet sanding your current set with 1000 then 2000 grit sandpaper? After sanding off the oxidization give them a nice hand buff and a coat of wax for a brand new look.

-JcWidow, I don't think i can drive Manual in the city. San Francisco have tremendous amount of hills, steep to low. It will not worth the swap... I like to keep it AT for now.
-Hendo, hahaha cool!
-civicvirtual, I tried sanding, and polished, but it's so badly oxidated, even the inside of the lens is yellowed up.
bigboy106, Yea, all those are great idea, but I drive this girl every day, and I can't afford to not garage it and spend every weekend. I know everything can be possibly done, just time and resource is holding me back. I'm probably stick with a basic stuff with a tiny horse power upgrade, then work on the cosmetic like lip kits and cf oem style spoiler. Wheels, iono... they are so expensive... so i'll think about that later on.
Sorry every, been busy with the family so barely time to mess with online.

Depending on your mechnical abilty, tools and where you have to do it youd be surprised how short a time it takes to do most mods. Everything done to my car might have taken a day at a time, or could have been done in a day and i got lazy and drove something else for one day. I did the Lca's and subframe brace in like 30 min, sri 20 min header and exhaust just a few hours, basically almost all the bolt ons can be done when you have a full day and you wont have to not have your vechilce.
Emerican, I see...
Everyone, for some reason my gas mileage been suck lately, I'm not sure why. I had oil change two month ago. And all my tune up were last year April, 2010. I'm a bit confused... Though my exhaust gotten a bit more stink, can it be the exhaust leak? My milage is 20gpm now
WTF, from 22-4gpm.

I would change the fuel filter and PCV first and see if the mileage increases. The fliter is $20 and the PCV is $3 from local auto parts stores. I doubt it's the pump or injectors if it still runs fine and doesn't misfire/stumble/have a lack of power. Is the CEL illuminated? Any codes? Start there...
