No sorry mate ill be keeping them, im using the lenses off them to put on my ek9 lights as they've burnt a bit on the inside of the lens from the previous owner using hids or something
 
just a small update, bought a dc2 rear arb off my mate ryan and bought some new prothane bushes to go with it, also getting some custom made rose joint end links too off a mate just need a asr now to fit it :) i also flat and polished my headlights as they still had some yellowing on them

If anyone wants to know how I done it, I used halfrauds 2000 and 2500 grit wet and dry sand paper, compound was menzerna fg500 with a kestral das6 polisher with white compound pad
 
Not much going on atm still saving, debating on whether to reshell the civic into a black facelift ej9 or just get mine resprayed, will save me alot of cash in the long run :/

bought some hard race front camber arms tho few days ago for 4 wheel alignment
 
small update. got some rear drop links for the rear anti roll bar just need myself an asr now so i can get it fitted

Lovely little car, some nice bits on it and all together look amazing :D!

I would keep it red, car is lovely :nice:
 
Small update got a oem ek9 front lip as the mugen rep just scrapes everywhere and well i hate replica parts lol i also picked up a ek9 front anti roll bar with all the hardware, ideally just want to upgrade the brakes and fit a polybush kit now to the car and handling wise its done

fitted some new light seals but later found the water leak is from the little black vent under the light, doh lol

and also some dynax s50 to blast the inside of my rear arches to prevent any rust prior to the respray :)

nice work on the headlights, fyi those drop links will require regular lubing as they will dry up with all the road dirt and start to wear the spherical bush out. i had similar ones (blox) on my old vti civic and the most i got out of the was about a year.

Thanks for the info mate appreciate it, i payed less for these than you would for oem drop links or any aftermarket ones so if they fail ill go and try the hard race ones i think, ill keep them lubed up regular :thanks:
