Did you spray paint your grille? the colour doesnt match
No, I was originally going to but it cost nearly as much as the grille. I figured it looked alright :PQuote:

JaCe need a complete photos of your car mate! (ex + in photos, boot photos, etc) :thumbsup:

3rd, don't like mugen type-r grille (top grille too short and not chrome too)
4th, don't like mugen RR/dominator grille (carbon fiber also still little bit dark for black color)
5th, last option, oem TYPE-R grille :o

highly recommended for FD other than black color (white/silver)
I got a black fd aswell...black is the best color.. but it gets dirty so freaking quick..and it gets freaking hot during summer.. but white is pretty darn good.. =)
for the whole looks, black and white are the best.Quote:

I think people want white because its got the type r look? and your right it blents with other colors alot better.. like red?... if i had to choose again i wouldve chosen either purple or white.. I dont see why people seem to hate the purple so much.. firend owns a fd2 in misty purple. I reckon its pretty hot..
I think white FD turned out to be a surprise in how good it looked with the black contrasts- "exceptionally good" would be my remark. I thought it would look bland like a Corolla but instead it looked really hot. Black is always going to look good, but it doesn't always look exceptionally good.Quote:

Has anyone got the honda car cover with their FD2.
my lord.. bryan yeung.. u have a nice civic.. looks so close to the mugen one.. u shouldve got the carbon fibre spoiler..
the thing about black is.. when u get carbon fibre.. it blends in to much with the car..and ppl cant really see its carbon fibre.. =S..
Love the fins. VIP style:thumbsup:Quote:

a push start button and front & rear red honda badges
well...it a mugen sport silencer...it shouldnt be too hard to find one..maybe you need to order one... they wont stock things like tat.
bryan.. that is freaking awesome!!
thanks bryan. i thought the one u had was different to the mugen sports silencer for sale here on jdmconcept. might go back to BK to get an exhaust done sometime- but it would be nice if it actually made the car more responsive; i've found the intake system to be really effective (thanks to b & j for installing it).
don't think i've heard of it on here before. didn't even bother asking the price lol.Quote:

Even with my legal tint on my left/right windows; reversing in the dark and rain (as recently it's been storming alot in Sydney) down a hill is bloody difficult when there's also no street lighting (such as on a driveway).
Had to wind down my windows in the rain so I could see *something* off the reflection in the side mirrors.
JaCe!!! we're on the same boat here man... when i driving and reversing down the hill every morning (not raining) its hard to see anything at the back... might thinking on changing the reverse light for a brighter one... (not HID though :P)Quote:

I just put some eagle eye HIDs onto my Civic but the beam pattern looks like it's going to the left too much and not lighting up the road directly in front enough. Anyone else had this problem before? Anyway how do I re-aim them better?
Also, anyone know how to replace fog light bulbs? Does the front bumper need to come off? I want to put a nice JDM yellow halogen colour in there. (just ordered some) :)
well i thought u can angle ur lights manually?
just the bulb ? no need. just read the manual book, how to change the fog light bulbQuote:

Hey does anyone know if HIDs are supposed to be aimed strangely? E.g. in Australia right light aiming mostly down lots whilst the other left one aimed to the left and up a lot more? (Possibly to prevent blinding)? That's how mine are.
r u sure ? it's in my manual.Quote:

Hey people, I think I've discovered what the deal was with my eagle eyes. The dude who installed themmade the right one point down HEAPS. I'm guessing this is because of some legal requirement for HIDs to have the right one down more to prevent blinding of oncoming traffic?? Problem is, in the distance my car looks like a ****ing pirate. The left hand side light is looking nice and bright and slightly bluish whilst the right hand side one has barely any colour because it is pointed down and also looks MUCH MUCH duller, almost like it doesn't have any glow to it. I'm thinking that the right one should be aimed a smidgen upwards to equalise the glow of this light so it looks more similar to the other. Has anyone else had any problems with this? I opened my bonnet and it looks like to re-aim a little I will need to remove my front bumper.
Can anyone provide some help on how to remove the bumper and also re-aim the lights? Is it a matter or moving the light element around or actually pulling the housing apart and re-aiming the projector lens?
I think the right hand side is purposely meant to be pointed down a bit so that it doesn't blind oncoming traffic... but ROFLMAO at your pirate comment.
Added some rice and I learnt how much of a difference it makes to use a tripod in low-light conditions;

I quite like the look :)
i think black chrome tail lights (if they exist for your cars) wouldah suited it MUCH more.. regardless of that comment, it still looks good.
looks like is200 now
lol
second that^^ love the LEDs.. But still prefer if the tail light housing is red..Quote:

Btw got 'em off eBay... I just hope not too many people do this otherwise my car will look the same as every other Civic again.
u should slightly tint them now. that would look hectic as.
I think I was hoping for the black clear bit to be darker so it would blend more with the car's paint, but as it is, I'm pretty happy with it :)Quote:

Yes, the left side does shine higher even if you pull it to the lowest height. I have pulled my right side to the lowest height and it does seem to be not level with the left. I will experiment this week with raising the right side higher and test if it blinds oncoming traffic.
