I think they look pretty good! And I agree with oc_civic that they do increase the looks about 10 fold!

man that looks really really good....you could've told me you bought them and i'd believe you. How hard was it to do that, was it just flat black spray paint? Did you use a heat gun and then cut it in half and reseal it?

RiceBurninVTEC- Did you paint the part where your turn signal is? How well can you see your turn signals when they are on? I have the aftermarket black housing headlights for 96-98 civics, but the turn signal part isn't painted. I think it looks better painted or however you have yours. I was thinking about cracking them open to paint where the turn signal is.
