here's a few more pictures.

the small gap behind the shroud was inevitable without having one custom done but overall it turned out great

looking forward to see how the cutoff looks

Looks good. Can't wait to see your installed photos.

crappy phone pic, but here it is...the final product!

I'll try and get a picture of the beam pattern eventually when i finish adjusting it and get my hands on a decent camera.

 

[KennyGS]

Nice!

Looks great. How much did did the retrofit end up costing?

 

[Joe Liu]

the parts cost me about 70 bucks.

 

[Joe Liu]

i have this sudden urge to add eyelids now. the car looks too excited lol

 

[SCFast]

Cool Looks good...But IMHO not a fan of the stock low beam refection still intact around it blacking it out would help allot.

 

[Joe Liu]

yeah, i was afraid something would mess up during the painting so i just went with the OEMish look. i'll probably look into blacking out the reflector bowls in the future

just a random interior shot

referring to the gap between the shroud and the oem housing...or?

 

[Joe Liu]

hellooooo cutoff

 

[webby]

not bad at all.. looks like it was meant to be in there to begin with

 

[SCFast]

Cut off looks great!

Just that it has the stock halogen reflector surrounding the shroud IMHO making it look like a retrofit rather than it is meant to be that way from the factory. Blacking it out would fix that though. Not knocking it though Yum did an excellent DIY job.

I'm not a big chrome person, but I think it looks more stock with the reflector chrome than black. it could almost pass for the asian/UAE market civic's projector assemblies.

 

[SCFast]

Nothing wrong with the chrome its that you have a projector sitting in a halogen cut reflector bowl that looks off to me. blacking it out would tone down/Hide that fact.

SQUASH!!!!

Great pics!

 

[Joe Liu]

added an exhaust tip this week.

was inexpensive and should suffice till a nice catback is released
mods might remain dormant from here forth on until a nice set of lowering springs come out

 

[webby]

looks good man. I wondered how exhausts/tips would work without the cutout bumper
