-props for trying something unique. it's too easy to just follow everyone else, and you put sweat and guts into attempting something different
-props for DIY, a lot of people are too lazy or overwhelmed and don't get the satisfaction that comes after doing things for yourself

that said, I can't say I am a fan of the logo, but it was still a creative idea I haven't seen tried in the 6 years of this site + years on other sites. makes me wonder if it would look good in the bottom right corner of a right tail light though to replace the one on the bumper

the leds or whatever those 3 lights are along the grill, I think look kind of dumb. I'm not really a fan of projector lights to begin with, but IMO that puts them over the top and makes them look tacky.

if you blackhouse your stock lights (which I think will look a lot better), please don't go overboard with LEDs. And if you do LEDs, the only acceptable colors are white or orange IMO. plus other colors could easily get you a ticket. In most states, the only colors allowed for signaling or anything are white/red/orange/yellow.

Dude, its what ever you like man. IMO the emblem doesn't look that good, makes it a little busy looking. But it does open some ideas up like Wildman said. Big props for the DIY. As for the headlights overall, I have HALO projectors myself and I love them. Its a different look, one that I was looking for. I'm planning on doing blue LEDs too in near future. Just keep doing what you like dude. Good luck with future modding.

Could always go the route I went. For under $200 you could have a full blown HID projector retro. You're a teen still, money isn't flowing in like water. Just save and make better decisions in modding ya know. 90% of the guys on here with clean, nice rides done it over time, just keep that in mind.

your friends down at the local parking lot might appreciate the blue LEDS, but no one who has any mature honda taste would do such monstrosities to their car.

not really feeling the type of headlights to begin with just because they're not my taste, but they will look better without the emblem

emblem looks a little out of place, and I too am not a big fan of projectors they just don't look that great on our cars. you should pull the lenses off them and put them on your stock lights and black house them. as for the LEDs blue will get you pulled over in our area plus they just look a little tacky. I did LED's i mine but I used neutral white LEDs from oznium.com and I really like the way they came out. you can check them out this weekend at the meet and if you need any help doing them I can give you some pointers.
