Should I get projectors?
Did a little MS Paint photoshop and deciding on whether or not I should get black projectors for my Civic…since only halo projectors are available I’m thinking about changing the ring color to red if I do get them…thoughts, opnions

Re: Should I get projectors? (BLU CIVIC)
In my opinion, NO 
. My boy had them on his rex and the lighting sucked compared to stock lights, even with xenon bulbs in them. Stay with your stock lights and put hids or xenon bulbs for brighter lights.

Re: Should I get projectors? (BLU CIVIC)
Uber gay in my opinion, but you really shouldn't care what I think... It's all about whether you like them or not... The only reason I would ever buy a set of projectors is to increase my visibility with HID's, and I've never had "Brightness" issues with my honda, so I never bothered... I just found something else better to spend my money on, and really the only CRX/Civic's that I've seen make that style look okay are all blacked out...
In all seriousness get what you think is cool and F*ck everyone else!
That's what I do...

Re: (***$nyper)
why in the flock would you want to put those on your car!? a) it's cars like those that get my car pulled over. b) cars like that give us real honda enthusiasts a bad reputation c) went to autozone and bought the store and some spray paint and went at it on his car. tired of ricers!!

What are you rambling about?
a) cars like what?
b) a civic has projectors means the owner isn't a Honda enthusiast?
c) what the hell are you talking about?
Anyway, I not too sure about them...i think they'll look decent, but I don't know...i have some other priorities that I have to take care of first, so esthetics will have to wait...but I may buy them to try them out and if I don't like them I know an sell them on craigslist

Re: (istoleurgirl)
sorry, but no mix and matched parts...only thing you can talk about is my painted H and my question about projectors...you have no basis for criticism by looking at half a picture of the front of my car …got something you’d like to get off you chest about my car, post it in my appearance thread, otherwise get the [freak] out of my thread

Re: (BLU CIVIC)

see i was thinking about doing that, but i've seen other civics with hid kits and didn't like the scatter pattern with the stock headlights...that's why i'm looking at projectors, but there's only one type of projector headlights that's out there

ah ok...see i haven't seen the headlights up close...guessing the heat from the bulbs will mess up the projectors...can't really recall seeing 4th gen civics with these projectors actually using an h.i.d. kit

I’ll entertain you r questions…I have a black hood and a black bumper b/c of an accident…front bumper is mis-aligned b/c I have to source some parts from the junkyard to get it straight, which is no biggie b/c it still looks fine…fenders are red b/c the car is red, but still no mix and matched parts...and yes, the car sounds good…anything else?

he asked a question, should i get projectors? thoughts opinions?
soooooO i gave my thoughts and opinions... he's entitled to have his p.o.s car like i'm entitled to my opinion... my opinion just happens to be what he doesn't want to hear.. sure i could be nice and sugar coat my answers but this is real life, real consequences. as far as sourcing the junkyard, you should just leave that p.o.s. at the junkyard... maybe someone will find some good use out of it. red emblem bwhahahahahaaaa... did you spray paint your vents too? seems like you got this red theme going....

istoleurgirl shut the [freak] up. seriously. that aside, couldnt you just buy a projector off say a integra at a junk yard and just pull the glass lense off your light and fab up the projector to sit in the stock light housing and then get HID's? that is, if youre going for the look of projectors with HID's....

SHUT THE **** UP AND GET THE **** OUT. If you have to pump up your self-esteem by picking on someones car (which is actually pretty clean once you touch the front up) then you are obviously a waste of life. And you stole no-ones girl, stop lying to yourself. You were giving an opinion on his over all car which was not asked for. So shut the [freak] up and stay out of the thread if you can't contribute anything worthwhile.
