I have a 96 civic EX.
First question.....
I want to do soemthing to my headlights. Not something that is really common and everyone has but something that looks good but doesnt show off much or cost alot of money. Any ideas please.
The car is black.

Second. The front grill where the H is and the back where the H is. I want to remove those. The holes on the back. Can i find instructions newhere on how to shave those. And the front, when i remove the H there is that plastic area where the H belongs. Do i just buy a enw grill? IF so where from?

thnx everyone

You could paint your headlight housings black. Yeah, a lot of people do it, but it looks pretty clean.

To shave holes, you'll need bondo, paint, a sander, etc. I'd let the bodyshop handle it.

You can get many types of front upper grills for '96-'98 Civics ... Mugen-style, Type R-style, etc. See? http://www.modacar.com/products/Honda/Civic/MODAGRK/

There's also the CTR-type grill that is just the outer edge without anything inside (sometimes they put in wire mesh). It looks pretty good. Just remember that most new grills will need to be painted by either you or a bodyshop.
