The hood fitment next to the fenders is fine, so idk about that. I'm not sure about the grille, because the headlight doesnt align with the bumper also, so it's leading me to believe that it's an aftermarket oem style front bumper.
And oh, new pics coming soon once my tail lights get here... I might have a teaser up tonight

Had to take the harness from the stock tail lights, they sold me the non-Depo tail lights. So without further ado, here are the pics.
Headlights - REAL Depo
I can honestly say that the quality of these is outstanding for the $100 I payed. No leaks, good cutoff, good fitment.
Action-
Tail Lights - Fake Depo
eGay said they were Depo, they aren't. Had to use the harness from the stock lights because whenever the brake lights were on, the signals would turn on, whenever the signal was on the brake light would flash etc etc. On top of that the driver side needed to be trimmed

^^ yeah those headlights do look good. I know the tyc are the makers of the real honda-branded headlights. But those depo (is that the brand?) really look just as good as original! I tried to use that headlight restore kit (3m brand) on a friend's civic, sure it cleaned up the outside, but that cheap polycarbonate after all these years warped FROM THE HEAT OF THE STOCK HEADLIGHT BULB! the inside still had a haze! hahaha..
so $100 for the headlight pair? where? I can send the link to my friend when they need to get some. nice job!
