DelSolSweetie Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 put the civic front support on it.. then take the back half of the sol fender and weld it to the front half of the civic fenders.. and bolt everything together i didnt do it personally.. i bought it that way and then had to have it fixed.. then fixed again.. and now i want it fixed again cause the passenger fender looks a little weird by the light at just the right angle in just the right light... when i get the new headlights we are going to readjust a couple things and clean up the front a bit more cause the hood is a little crooked from when we put it back on after the swap and i need to get my brother in law and bf in the same place at the same time to get them to fix it.. and fix my bumper sag.. and get the headlights fitted a little better (i get compliments on it but i get pissed when i find the littlest thing wrong with it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducttape2334 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 doesnt sound like it would be that hard to do, just lots of knowledge and time. i think it looks really good, it is definitely unique, as is that star on the side. but very nice sol even with the bumper quirks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 thankyou.. i like it.. it was meant to stand out.. i actually had no idea HOW much it was going to stand out but i just went with it.. i get some crap from it from people but they are mainly people who don't know anything.. i was going to work tone time and some older guy in a NICE bmw was talking to me at the light and said it was really cute and sounded good.. then i get people in beat up ass pos's sayin crap.. i tend to ignore them.. and Ive gotten quite a few compliments from people at the track also.. so i kinda ignore the dumbasses who talk sh!t cause their opinion doesnt hold much weight when i have professional racers complimenting me and the car lol funniest thing so far though: my brother in law and bf had my car for some reason and had to go somewhere.. some guy kept staring at them and then like yelled damn faries at them.. i thought my car was going to be the victim of a hate crime or something when they told me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelSolSweetie Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 i think thats the site!!! i THINK the chrome will look good but idk :help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orca89 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 i think thats the site!!! i THINK the chrome will look good but idk :help: Chrome would probably look pretty good... Unfortunately the pictures of the headlights are all at odd angles, so they're a bit tough to photoshop... Maybe Seb can help you, but those are a bit beyond my skills with photo editing. And that site was posted by Mike actually. It's where he bought his and my headlights, for which I will be eternally in his debt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I wasn't on HF all that much the past few months. Boredom has reached an all-time high in my life right now. And you have a point... Shame on you Mike.

Xeryon Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I have those (smoked ones, but same company made them). I wouldn't do it. The light they cast is horrendous. With the high beams on I can still barely see well enough at night to drive. Wow, here is a way back pic when I first installed the lights, but before I installed the suspension.

OTiS Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 i got mine off ebay from a company called revotec. mine are like xeryon's but not as dark and light out put is actually better than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 I plan on getting HIDS i just need a housing that isnt crap lol I dont want smoked.. i think it would look weird on the car.. I wonder if the paint they used to smoke the headlights is just causing the light to be dim.. makes sense to me because black loves to soak up light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 what you could do is get a pair of those, open them up, then paint the part of it white to match. kind of like the new vettes and honda fit. a lot of people with audis are doing that to black them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 On mine the front is not really smoked, it is more of a matte finish. Most of the dark color is from the back of the housing assembly. There is a giant label stuck to mine warning that installation of HIDS will cause damage to the units and they are not responsible for damage to the product or the car (the entire light housing and lens is plastic) The actual light output on these is probably 25% of original intensity of the stock low beams. High beam output would be around the 75% range. I often wonder if my lights are even on when the low beams are enabled. I would strongly avoid anything that requires only an h4 bulb (these use 4 of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
