You can with a DRL kit... that's one of the options I was considering - that or the high beams.

car looks great man. some advice tho either ditch the front plate or get that bracket and mount it somewhere else. would look 10x cleaner.

damn idk about that EM1 tho. headlights and grill are kinda funky.

Fixed the pics, I can't stand side by side pics that you have to scroll over for.

I like the civic, minus the batman emblem

CL looks incredible, though I agree with matt, need to fix that plate or mount it in the grill somehow

yeah the paint is rough. but i think it still has an amazing gloss and shine for a ten year old paint job. the front end is not as good, the lip is bad, and the bumper has been resprayed i can tell. oh well she will be molded, shaved side moldings and re sprayed soon enough

Like the black painted stock wheels, but lower profile tires will make the rims look bigger, car will accelerate faster, and handling will improve. Over all you will lower rotational mass.
