Sent you a pm but your box is full
So here it is:

1st of all the lights are the best that I have ever seen bar none!!!!!You are an inspiration to us all.

2nd I would just like a list of the things you used so I can get an idea, like the cover, lights, material for the brackets, and any tips or pointers. Your advice and help will be greatly appreciated.

First off I'm glad to see that MOST of you guys like them as I am proud of how they turned out and wanted to show them to my buds on tech.

I'll try to get some day pics tomorrow and have them up tomorrow night.

As for making and selling them I would but they are just not up to my standards as far as a product to sell to others and would hate to have unhappy customers.

Thanks again for all the kind words as this was a pretty time consuming undertaking.

My PM box is now emptied. Sorry about that.

looks good. I love when people step outside the box and shake off the "If it aint stock it sucks" mentality of so many people here.

Thats badass man! I love the whole setup from what I can see. The foglights in the old blinker spot are definately awesome too! Looking forward to more pics in the daytime.

Nice job! It's funny that I don't even own a bird and I'm looking at building these. My plan is to base it off the C6 style using the same lights as a C6. (Well maybe not the large marker light)

they look nice if you're into that, but personally I think it looks hideous, your work is good, but just not for me.

Just out of curiosity and don't hate me for it.....but are those civic aftermarket headlights? I am not trying to be an *** but they kinda look similar.

Nice job, now if I could just finish my set! I've been busy with the interior, and I actually changed my design up a bit. I'll hopefully have more pics of the interior and headlights this weekend.

Good to hear from you Grn Dragon, You've gone above and beyond anything I've done so far with my car. Props to you. Keep up the good work and don't sweat the haters. They can be all stock if they want..lol.

Guys I did get the day pics as promised but I've been real busy so it'll be tomorrow hopefully when I get them up here. They turned out great. Keep checking back and thanks again for all the good feedback.

I'm not one of those "you have to keep it stock guys" but...

Sorry... I don't care for that much.

Maybe because I like the pop-up headlights on our birds.

Damn man! Those lights look pimp! I love them! Even if you say they're not perfect, that takes alot of work, talent and patience. Great Job!

Great work! Would really like to see pics when you everything adjusted and painted. Hopefully someday there will be a kit as cool as that!

That's what I was hoping for the longest time and no one ever went through with making them so I decided to. I don't have anything against the stockers per say but they were starting to give me trouble and they aren't bright enought to see ANYTHING at night and I've always liked the clean look of fixed-no more mechanical headaches to worry about ever!
