i think those are gonna make my car look really nice for now any replys or opinions are greatly appreciated
THANKS GUY!!!

 

have you tried listening to the apexi ws2 exhaust? its quiet and gives the power you want. it also looks stock, kind of. and s-techs are really nice. and the headlights, im not really feeling it, but its your choice.

 

i rreally like the greddy exhaust i want it to be kinda loud i really love the sound and it looks cool with the burnt tip and also with the headlights my freind has them on his civic and they look really nice

 

keep in mind that those ricey headlights aren't designed for hid's. you should look into a retrofit instead.

 

Props for doing research on your own.

 

For the guy who is new to this, I have heard a lot about retrofit. Could you explain what this is? Thanks!

 

Retrofitting is when you take a set of HID projectors from other cars that come with them from the factory, and actually disassemble/cut your headlight housings, and install the HID projectors in your housing. Most people use S2k or TSX projectors. This is the best way to go about having HID in cars without it. The cutoff is great, and doesn't glare everywhere. VERY expensive and time consuming though, so you have to decide if it is worth it to you.

 

my friend has them on his civic and they look really nice, retro fit is so expensive and i want projectors but idk yet anyone got any good sites for projectors or something

 

www.customlightz.com

 

to the OP, if you want the greddy Ti C, i just hope you dont live in california

 

hahah na i live in north jersey but its prolly gonna be just as bad but i really like the sound and look of it, so ima prolly get it. i really want those projectors on procivic.com but ppl are sayin there garbage and ****, but any more feedback on them? also on the tein s tech springs is the ride gonna be boucny cause i have a 96 civic now and i have coilovers idk wat model they came with the car when i get it but its so boucny and sometimes annoyin idk if my shocks r done but any feedback is awesome!

 

Get the retrofit.

You want this?




Or this?

 

yeah but retro fit is like 600$ and i have no idea where to get that and the blk ones look so sick on my freinds civic ima talk to him about it

 

Not to sound dumb but why is it so much? Is it because of the cost of the headlights or because most people pay someone else the labor to do it?

 

hey fijiblue, i like your sig hahaha

 

Those projectors may look nice, but they are definitely crap. I think Rico_ tried them out (or something similar) and wrote them off as total junk. I definitely wouldn't waste money on them. Saving up for a retrofit would be your best option. Or you could do it yourself for much less: http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/do-yo...-tutorial.html

You should take a look at the Vibrant catback exhaust. I have one on my Si and would highly recommend it.

 

alright ima just get HIDS and keep my stock headlights i really wanna get projectors but black ones so i guess ill just get the greddy exhaust injen intake hids and fogs and lowering springs

 

I would advise against putting HID's in your stock reflector housings. You will actually loose light coverage and it looks like crap. Retrofit is the only way to go if you want HID's.

 

The only point of contention thus far is the Honda's steering. Some thought the tight steering in line with the Si's sporty nature while others felt intimidated by it.

 

my HID's are perfectly fine. i can see a lot more than i could with those sylvania halogens that come standard.

 

The pnp hid vs retrofit debate is getting old.

 

it is.
obviously retrofit>non retrofit.

but halogen<HID

 

there you have. i wouldn't say it's time consuming if you have it done for you, but it IS expensive; i think i rememeber seeing someting like $800-1,000 for a complete retrofit. personally, i would never install hid's in my car without a proper retrofit; you can usually tell which car has done it the proper way, and which car just had hid bulbs installed in their regular headlights. i'm a big fan of doing things the proper way the first time.

 

im gonna just keep my stock headligths and just get hids i have them on my 96 civic with non projector headlights and there fine so i think ima just do that, also i got one other question, i wanna get rims what are the perfect size that look mad nice. what size rim and tire is good i dont wanna go low profile cause i heard thats not the best way, i want a lil rubber just gimme some numbers thanks guys

 

hey guys what about if i get got those crappy projector headlights and bought tsx projectors would that work and be nice?!?
