heads and tails look great...the wheels not so much. the silver center caps ruin them

never thought about painting those center caps. but im not riding on those anymore thankfully.

how long did it take me to do the tails. i cant really remember, i might have posted somewhere thou. to open each one i would guess between 30-60min. but i stress taking your time. get usto heating up that adhesive to the right temp so that the blade will just pass right through. instead of heating it up till you think its good and just use more pressure to get the blade to cut, as that will crack the plastic. post up pics in here if you want, let us know how it went.

yea i had a spare one and followed ur vid and thread. still was a pain cause it really does depend on the blade u use and the temp u get it too. eventually i got them seperated but not to the cleanest degree. ill have to be alot more patient with my real set.

yeah i guess if your going for the oem black. but once i painted my head lights black i liked it so much i knew i had to do the tails the same color, now they match. just like the oem IXs that have a chrome head light and a slightly different chrome tail light. i just dont like the stock IX lights that much, it just looks like a plain boring black and to me, looks cheap in a way like the cheap plastic lights all the civics have... flat black is so much better
