Been saving for my house deposit so haven't been able to buy car parts in yonks...

[Alvis]

Went and bought DC2R springs, got home, jacked the car up and put in the front set, screwed everything together and took car off the stands.. WTF!!!!!!! car is now sitting 5cms off the ground! So I went on google to have a look and FML!! I put the rear springs on the front!!! FAIL!!!

HAHA - that's something I'd do too LOL!

But looked at my car and had a sudden obsession to want to paint my brake calipers a Spoon blue colour

Traded my EK9 headlights for stock headlights+cash and also sold my SSR's

What's the advantage of having ek9 lights over painted stock ones?

"An aggressive looking smoked chrome or black chrome inner housing distinguishes the Civic Type-R over the standard Civics' chrome units. The orange, light refractor strip is also a thing of the past for a hassle free 'clear corner' ! Also added on these Japanese headlights, are a provision for a city light bulb for headlight illumination without having the actual headlights on."

Damn expensive though...

pffft why would anyone pay 500 for head lights when the stock ones do just fine.... unless they actually have a better beam pattern or as such, waste of money that could go to better use imho

[Alvis]

yeh i just don't know why they are soooo expensive.... gee imagine how much it would cost to get new headlights if you owner a merc or audi or something... phew...

isnt it around 900 from JDM yard? yeah i guess it is a waste of money i mean i wouldnt pay 900 for a set of headlights just because they have a little black/chrome in them.
But its just like changing wheels, stock wheels are fine but people still change it if you get what im saying? I guess anything is a waste of money if your using your car for daily use

EK9 headlights look 900 times better than OEM chrome headlights imho. But yeah, $900 is def a bit steep. DIY black housing headlights can look good if done right but will never look the same as the real deal.
