cheers hoping to put these plans on the car within the next few months

whats the opinions ???
tinted angel eyes or HIDs

 

[DOSvtec]

Id go for hids fitted to ek9 headlights as im not fond off the angel eyes on civics. Everyone to there own tho..

 

[highlandej9]

i prefer hids i had them on ma last car n wi a clear set of headlamps they look the beez neez but i seen a civic drive through aviemore a while ago was white wi a set of angels n it looked pretty smart shame it was a wee fanny driving it though 3am and he was wheel spinning around n making a whole load of noise round a old folks home bit of a shame

just keep it simple and not too flashy. bottom line is build your car to your liking, that way you will be satisfied.
what motor swap are you looking to do?
