Blackhouse those headlights. Also, get those side skirts paintmatched. It makes a WORLD of a difference in the way your car looks. I would know. lol

I plan on black housing when i do my retrofits which is idk when.Unfortunately it is NOT cheap at all. I think the morimoto mini is ike $270 for the entire thing on TRS. I'll prolly get it paintmatched from some official place soon. Any idea how much it's gonna cost?

if you know how to paint should be cheaper. since you only have 2 side skirt (if you are doing all the labor yourself) less than 100 dollars. primer, paint, clear coat will probably run you around 40-50 bucks per side. (of course always with a 15 percent error of plus or minus) if you need bondo maybe another 15. I think you should buy an OEM or depo headlights if you are going to go retro fit. ebay ones will eventually become hazed as the quality will never match oem status.

Email Nate or Matt from TRS and get into a conversation with them. They're extremely nice. Just get to talking with them, and they'll more than likely give you some kind of deal. Superb customer service.

Projectors (I think they come with shrouds, I would still check first.) $120

I recommend the Morimoto 3Five bulbs they offer, IIRC they're shorter to fit into the projector better.
Then just get whatever ballasts you need, blackhouse the headlights, and you're done. it's not too expensive if you just know where to look for things.

I thought his headlights were oem.

You can always buy painted side skirts from Honda, but I'm not sure how much they cost. I am kind of lucky, and my dad works at an auto body shop here in town, so he took them up there and sprayed them and let them bake.
