Being Canadian I see EL's all the time, and the best EL front end is definately this one. Looks like the JDM Prelude front end with the 4 bumper lights

sick car shifty!! you dont have tint either and that is kind of my pet peave. i think tint takes away form the cleanliness of a car. my 7thgen is pretty close. i have a cf hood and cf type r front lip. still deciding on rear and sides. but i think i am going OEM

You make them. Taking apart your headlamps is easy.

185degrees for 5minutes will make the sealant on your headlights turn into a warm jelly (which is sticky as all heck, and it's black, so be careful what you're wearing). Then on re-installation, get some high-temp silicone sealant (preferably clear, because there's less chance of you revealing any "accidental spills"), and fill the V-groove (where the clear housing meets the chrome housing) with it for a proper seal and put it in the oven at 185 again (with the metal clips on the housing, so they bring the two parts together).
