Using OEM parts doesn't always have to be bad *56k okay*

i dunno....I think im really feelin' the grill bro.....and the DIY headlights looked better...did you notice any light output difference...? I kinda feel that my oem headlights that i put in are kinda too blingy as well...so i think im gonna do a couple coats of some spray on tint.

the "real ctr" headlights look..... well they look almost identical to stock usdm's and on a black car they are very very.... blingy?
the DIY headlights are much more muted and flow with the styling and color of your car much better


you definitely upped the chrome factor on your car 10fold, but imo that's a bad thing

i intend on doing the DIY black housing headlights and oem black mesh covers for my foglights because i feel my front end also has way too much chrome or bling factor

Maybe its the lighting / angle then. Cause they really arent chrome very much. Its much more of a graphite (lighter). Ill try and take some better, outside, day pics tomorrow.

Kind of funny that people prefer the DIY "CTRs" over the real ones.

DIY CTR ? are u fully there ? . The DIY headlights are black housing and CTR headlights isnt black. CTR headlights would be glossy shinny gunmetal without amber corner


well i think if u have the city lights on, it would be kool.

Ahhh... you make me giggle.

DIY CTRs. I didn't give them that name, but I've seen a lot of other people call them that. I never said the black housing matches the gunmetal chrome coloring on the real Honda headlights.

Because having a Honda is cool.... just as long as no one can tell it's a Honda.

Having an H makes it a honda, but a front end that everyone else has too, doesnt?

*edit (to everyone, not Amy) - Why take out the H? just curious. Evo's, sti's, even just lancers and wrx's have the emblem in grille and everyone thinks its hot s**t still. I think everyone is so used to taking out the H that when someone has it in, its looks "bad" cause they arent used to it.

I don't know what you mean... My post was a joke based on how some people, such as cops, will ask what kind of car you drive if you have no emblems.

Eh, my post above this one explains it better.

it just looks better without the chrome "H"
if i ever run across a deal, i plan on getting the liberal grill which has no front emblem

imo it looks much cleaner

 

[Evan.]

Idk man, its looks like s**t to me. You can see everythin in this bay, its like theres not even a grill. I think the emblem is needed to make it stand out.

you cant see anything in the bay

this is a bad picture, it's the same grill that was in my last post but they glued an emblem in there

i really like it.... without the emblem

or i could put red hella supertones behind it
