See I agree with both sides.. Idk, It was just a thought.

The more and more I look at other people's Ej8's I think I might like to go with an SIR or Type R look.
People just want crazy money for some of those type of parts lol.

Im really getting sick of the Ex cluster(blue) at the moment so I think that is going to be the next thing on my list to change out.
That and the PO removed the headlamp lenses and "Cleared" Them..? Did I say that right lol. Im not liking this one bit and I would like the fixture to black on the inside instead of White/Clear. There is a Fellow Ej8 member (Jamie Davila) That said wouldn't mind giving me a hand with it this weekend.

I have only had this car for about 2 weeks, So Im trying to pace myself and do it right the first time As I would like this car to far exceed my Eg But would like to have it finished by summer.

i can't picture out how your gonna put in your stock lights without taking the intake out?

if they're brand new with 500 dollar tires, then that's what they're worth.

I like how to left part of the light unpainted, I too have been trying to think up a way of having an intake duct with a working headlight.

Hood scoop time!!!!
jk,
But, it be cool if you were able to make a duct linking it to the grill. So you keep the headlights, still look stock, and still have the cold air with the grill acting as a filter for the bigger things like bugs. Good Luck

I like the canards, I think if they were black they would look better, and more subtle.
