Thoughts?

TarekS99 · 12-01-2018, 07:05 PM

Hey guys, was just wondering what your thoughts are on my front lip? How does it look? Should I make it white or switch to an m3 bumper?
And my headlights, I switched the low beam and daytime running lights to LED's instead of the halogen bulbs, should I change the whole headlights to the angel eye ones too?
All your comments and opinions are highly appreciated, drive safe

A better picture in better light from the front will help. I think if you got it paint matched it would flow great though

I think it looks real good!

It looks great! The black matches the grill and headlight surrounds.

Looks good as it is. The dark lip contrasts nicely with the white.

Just a question - did you put LED bulbs in your halogen housing? If so, I would switch out the headlights if it's affordable to do so. Even though you achieve a nice white light, halogen housing with led / xenon bulbs results in a lot of light spillage which blinds other drivers and looks tacky because 100% of modded civics do the same lol.

Yup, led bulbs on the halogen housing with some coding to avoid errors... I was wondering why they looked so bright the whole time lol, may consider changing the whole headlights tho

MSport bumper and upgraded headlights. Don't waste any more money on that bumper or tricks to make those headlights look better.

Couldn't agree more. Don't waste any more time or money. I went down that same road with my first car. Big mistake.

Perfect. As it should be. Great car!

Nice lip and LED's

Don't change a thing!

kern417 · 12-03-2018, 06:54 AM

Your LEDs are likely blinding everyone so yes, get some different headlights.

Park in front of a wall and check your light cutoff. Or just look at the trunk of the car in front of you when you stop at a light. I can almost guarantee your light cutoff is above their trunk and shining in their window.

I will check...

I think the fact the Im lowered may save me. I didn't do the lights until after I changed my suspension (B8's). Its definitely possible that on a stock height F30... LED's may be blinding. Im not sure.

I believe there is manual adjustment to fix this if necessary on halogen housings.
