instaled new headlight eyelids....
well pulled my full carbon fiber style headlight covers.. and put on my new headlight eyelids... says real carbon fiber BUT i got no clue.... but it looks like it..... fit is preaty decent. only thing i dont like is it didnt come with any mounting hardware or even any instructions! just a USPS box and them wraped in a little bag... tho box has a hole in it BUT no damge to the covers at least.

but so far looks great! luckely i had some 3M double sided tape left over so i just threw em on ASAP
tho my civic realy needs a wash.LOL
and compared to my other headlight covers these shouldnt block that much light.... tho i cannt tell until the sun goes down
but they look much nicer than my full carbon fiber STYLE cover...
and if the new eyelids ever do start peeling the gel coat or looking bad i can simply just paint them black
and on a side note i have my oem SI grill painted BUT im just got to much stuff right now before i can pull my bumper and swap it out...
and still havent had time to touch my spoiler tho

RE: instaled new headlight eyelids....
well decided to get off my @ss and try to swap the grill.... and i must say... wow.... bumper cover came off realy quick and easy!!!!!!
tho pictures suck cause the cars REALY dirty!!!!!!!!!
tho i must say... i need to find something that matches the grill type and pattern and chop out the lower open grill section and replace it.... OR BS a intercooler infront....
tho if i did it would be painted black just a thought...
ill have to wait until i run the car thru the wash....
and see how she looks then... but so far looks alot beter

RE: instaled new headlight eyelids....
looks like we have some similar ideas on our cars :-) I would like the grill, or a new one at least, and one of the 3-5" spoilers with a led light, but I am gonna have to get fenders too, my paint is cracking off my factory ones. It sucks.

RE: instaled new headlight eyelids....
id advise OEM spoiler and grill....
nothing beats the fit and quality!!!!!!!
ill probably start work on the spoiler tomorow BUT i think instead of complete paint im just gonna touch in the scratches and sand them smooth and buff it back to a shine the best i can as is....
spray cans can only look so good..... and im not realy happy with the grills paint...
i figure once i do buy some quality paint and clear and a new spray gun i figure ill do all my paint work at once...

RE: instaled new headlight eyelids....
I AGREE COMPLETLY!!!!!!!!
thiers no replacement for OEM equipment!
the quality and fitment is the best!
and the SI grill is sweet....
BUT i still believe.... if someone made a billet grill for the upper and lower openings... ID BE ALL OVER THEM!!!!!!!
i love billet bars! i love them on my trucks aftermarket GMC grill but the aftermarket grill fitment sucks....
and i think a billet grill on the civic would be realy sweet!
if i could only find a place that makes them! or just some billet bars... hell id make my own if i could!
