You have to go to a place which does window graphics and just ask them to cover your reflector with the chrome paper. Heres a pic of the light!

its all good...while you are clearing your lights you might as well make yourself an intake...i got a small pipe for a short ram and you can have it...so you can make an intake buy just buying a filter!

I was thinking after I clear my headlights I would get AEM CAI. I might just make my own like you did. You have very creative ideas on how to do things thats pretty smart

Can either of you comment on how to re-wire the lights (turn signals) so that they only blink. That is they do not come on with the "park lights"

I am hoping it will be the same with the 2002..

accordv6er did that. what he did was take out the parking light and covered 1 of the little metal tabs with electrical tape. you have to get the right one though.

I noticed from your pics that the light of the bulbs doesn't really shine through the chrome sticker. So there is a little bit of a safety issue with putting it on the front signals. As for putting it on the tailight signals, they won't show at all!

Do you think a dark window tint film could be applied to the back tailight signals, look nice and be water/rain-resistant? I wonder how that would look.
