Nice work so far. Those rims are definitely an acquired taste. Can't help but think latino low-rider

Yes, that's my first post

Update(not really): I just wanted to see how you guys like the fitment.
IMO i love these wheels. They remind me of the Carvinghead, but American Racing v.1
They probably won't appeal to everyone, but its my car so i'll enjoy it.
Wheels are ICW 15x7 -10

They aren't actually mounted, only spaced out. Which is why the rear looks kinda off. Also, it makes the body of the car looks so much lower the the wheel.

The easiest retrofit you can buy is one you don't need to cut up the reflector bowls with. The best (and, actually, the cheapest) option is to get a Morimoto Bixeonon retrofit from The Retrofit Source. All you have to do is open your headlights, place the projector inside, and tighten the mounting bolt from the back. (There's more to it than that, but this is the simplified version)

To do a retrofit, you'll need:
-One Bixenon Morimoto Mini H1 projector kit (found here: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...oducts_id=3181)
-One pair of H1 bulbs (can be found as an option when ordering your projectors)
-One HID kit to plug in the H1 bulbs to (you already have this, you just need different bulbs)
-A lot of time and some patients.

If you want to see it step-by-step, here is a writeup on PreludePower done by one of my friends. It takes you literally through everything: http://www.preludepower.com/forums/s...861&highlight=

Hope this helps, and I hope a few more people see this and decide to go the responsible route with their headlights.

Get retrofits,trust me. Regardless if you're doing HID's in the stock housing "just for color!" or not, it makes you look irresponsible and (forgive the harsh words) fucking stupid.

For some constructive criticism:
Every vehicle I own is retrofitted- including my piece of shit '96 Accord 4-door. You'll literally outshine almost every other car on the road with a proper bixenon retrofit. The spread is much wider, the light is much more focused, and goes so much farther down the road. Not only that, but it gives the car a more attractive appeal. And, let's face it, watching the cutoff bounce down the road and flicker purple and blue on signs is fucking awesome.

:applause: Thank you so much. I appreciate you taking the time to show me the difference, instead of you flaming my thread. ^ This is actually what i want. If you can direct me to where or how i can get retro-fitted pros i'll deeply appreciate it.

People who put hid's in halogen housings should be tied to boards with their eyes taped open while there own car drives by repeatedly.

^ Read:Who said the headlights are finished? I just love the color, but they aren't visibly better. I'm just trying to decide if I want jdm1pc or retro fit projectors.[/quote]

Otherwise good start, and neat platform.

But thanx man. I'm trying to create some kind of respect for these things. Since, one one really likes them; Unlike the 5th gens.

I'm liking where it's headed. As said before, good looking wagons like yours are rare to see and I can't wait for your final outcome.

I have a 90 coupe right now that I'm doing little by little, not for "stance" purposes though.

I know you have great vision and can see skill and craftsmanship, good luck on the Honda Gene, can't wait to see where it goes.

Thanx man. I'm doing best I can with my lack of previous standing knowledge. I really hope this turns out as great as I planned to have it.

This could be good. Let's see them!


I'm all for the idea of doing a projector retrofit into a halogen housing, but just sticking an HID bulb in there and calling it a day is really awful.

Who said the headlights are finished? I just love the color, but they aren't visibly better. I'm just trying to decide if I want jdm1pc or retro fit projectors.
