Those civic lights LOOK PIMP

Post by hgallegos915 »

OH my freaking lord, im on the second day of cutting my lights, so far so good, I test fit them and woah!! They look better than I originally tought! I still need to cut the inner fender and little pieces to make the light fit properly, I still cant figure out what the orange light around the "angel" eye is for..maybe its a turn signal or something. Anywho WOAH Ill take pics tomorrow during the day light.

I sure will, and yes Ill make some for you :D buy you would need to have the projectors sent to my home and you would need to make the appriopiate cuts in your inner fender and part of the frame, Im using that black mx3 on car domain as a guide. ALso I will reseal the lights from the bottom using fiberglass. But yeah Ill do em , first let me finish mine and if you like well email me at hgallegos915@msn.com

Well I dont oknow yet but, I do plan on doing a really good job on them, resealing them with the proper sealant and using fiber glass on the bottom of the lights to cover any unwanted holes (prevent excess moisture) I would inclide a guide on where to cut on the car to make them fit and what wires connect to what and how to aim them. I calculate probably 3 - 5 days of work to make each pair. I have to cut, guel and fiberglass the bottom. Let me finish my lights so that I can post pics. I wouldnt wanna do the chrom ones since I use a hot knife to melt away parts of the lemns and chrome would wrinkle. Just the blak projectors. I would have to use a dremel for chrome.

well i guess they are sorta done. I already sealed the edges using permatex clear silicone tubing, dyred pretty fast. I still want to fiberglass the bottom for extra securify. I used clear type in the mean time why..because its SO COLD right now brrrrr :( I still need to aim the high beams..ok and the lights have a bit of dust inside. I thin I may be able to start making them. The material I need to buy is fiber glass, resin and clear silicone. I cut them using a hot knife and / or a dremel tool. You DO have to make som cuts in your car uncliding shaving off the top part of the bumper guard. Email me for pics of my progrres. hgallegos915@msn.com also The way it would work is you send the lights to me or buy them off ebay and have them sent to me and i cut them and fiber glass them. Of course email me first and well see what we can do. It realy was ALOR of hard work, cutting measuring aiming well you need to do that on your own. let me know also if u want pics email me. Also I will gladly tell you how do do them they way I did them, I still need eye lids for them.

yeah, is that the guy that came to my house? I didnt have them yet done when he came, I had them cut up. Right now they are aimed to high, when do you guys wanna get together? I wanna start sanding my hood and ready for paining it because right now I dont have cash for that carbon fiber hood.
