I like the eyelids alot. I dont know why people dont like them.....it makes the car look mean. Plus the tails give you your own style. Good looking car.

i usually dont like eyelids, but your car pulls it off well.

how much is that lowered from stock?

i have the same body style down to the color, so i might be bias when i say that your car is hot.

i like the eyelids, and was thinking about doing the same to mine; however, i was also thinking about tinting/painting my headlights.

my favorite wheels are the second, but the third set looks surprizingly good on her. i think you might have opened up a whole new color of wheels for my civic.

thanks for the ideas.

Don't like the eyelids or the taillights. You need to raise the rear of your car up a little bit too. Saggy rears are ugly
