Search is your friend.

Average cost of a decent retrofit is ~$1k.

Many of those who posted were done by us, and yes TSX can easily be done as well as S2000, and perhaps FX35.

Here's a link if you want to get an idea of what it may look like on your vehicle along with other projector and shroud options, ccfl, angel eyes, paint, etc, etc.

Good luck with the retrofit, and btw, if you are paying someone to do a retrofit for you make sure you are getting close up pictures, and ask people who have dealt with that retrofitter before. There are a few of us that do 2006 Civic retrofits, but be aware...we have gotten a few customers, who got a retrofit from someone else and then sold it to get another one, and we actually have one right now, which we have to "clean" up and then redo the retrofit since the customer wasn't happy the first time around.

Hope this helps

I hope this isn't implied to me... I have had a few screw ups, but have always fixed and communicated to my customers fully.

caveman, the above pic is probably how I want mine done. Is this the same as how you quoted me over Instant Message?

Are the ones in the above pictures blacked out? I can't really tell...

They don't look stock, but they don't look all blacked out either.

These fits don't apply to the FA right? I don't think I've see a discussion or pics of retro fitted HID's on one.
