when puting the pieces back together... I suggest turn OFF the oven and keep the door closed after the taking apart procedure... and just put the lights in the oven for 3-5min and let hte silicone melt... and then squish them together... it helped me a lot

wow looks really good. great write up!

[Da90Ls]

I just did mine. Very nice write up. Total time is about 1.5 hours depending on how long you lets the coats of paint dry or how long i takes them to dry.

Be careful putting the inner plastic back into the outer plastic though, I chipped some of the paint after I untaped the corner lens.

And on the 04-05 tape the back of the corner lens or you will get over spray on the backside of it.

great except you don't need an oven. just buy silicone for aquariums and tanks and it should work fine.

Does anybody have pics of the 04/05 headlights disassembled?

Mine looks like it needs to be repainted... But i was happy with how it looked when i first did it.

Don't hate the white bumper on SSM body...lol... I was just testing it with my old CF Mugen lip.

RJEP... you have the 99-2000 civic si wheels or ex.. anyways i would like to see how they look on your car.. pm me some side shots of your car.. loving the lip.. i just cant do that here in colorado, streets are bad..
I think im ganna try this DIY... but im thinking more of lighter black instead of flat black so it gives it the typer headlight look..

anyone ever try this with that spray on tinting that people use to black out their taillights? I think if you only use a coat or two, you could prob get a really good gunmetal/chrome look. might try that this summer when my car is out of commission for the hondata reflash.
