Ya I bought it awhile ago, that's why I want the mods to change the name of the thread.
And what does painting my headlight housing have to do with buying a piece of **** civic? So many IS's here have theirs painted

I'm surprised you didn't opt for the carbon fiber engine cover to match your hood and trunk! It looks good though PJ! Vroom vroom! :P

I would but the CF engine cover is $800! That's as much as my hood AND trunk combined!

ehh. Not feeling it. Actually I was for the first few pages. The DIY should only go so far.

Yes, the FSport one is relatively pricey! But I've seen aftermarket CF engine covers for the IS350 floating around on
eBay for about $127 .
It's gratuitous to me since I'm not modding my car for show purposes, but it's a reasonable alternative!
