    Yeah I don't know if i would go with a paint match, or just a matte black. I will post some pictures of the black paint chipping away from the chrome base. I used the Dupli-color Chrome shadow.. I mean it looked great at first but then I drove it for about a month and got the chips:( I'm thinking I might just spend a few more bucks and touch it up rather then spending a fortune to pay someone to do it( if i can even find any shop to paint the chrome). I will post pics next week i'm very busy finishing up finals for school!

    It was and wasn't honestly. I made it out to be waaaay more than it turned out to be. The most time consuming part was taking apart the headlights cleaning the up, painting and such. The actual install of the retros took maybe an hour for both lights (and this was my first time doing it on any vehicle) The retrofit source's youtube channel helped me alot with understanding how stuff went. And then PM'ing guys and looking at there walk through's helped to. Here is the youtube link to there channel

    This is the step by step I used when I did mine it helped a TON

    Yeah taco isn't too hard. I know I've been first hand on some civic retros and they're simple but the taco isn't difficult by any means

    I'm sure they'd be happy to do it for you. Turn around isn't too long either. A day to get it sand blasted (could be less but I called with no notice) then 2-3 days paint

    Ahh live a little ;) I drove to Vegas down and immediately back to pick up some Honda parts with a friend of mine. Really though, if you're interested in the shop, I can ask them if they'll paint it and then I have a hookup shipping parts for free from cedar city to salt lake through Napa distribution. A good friend owns a Napa shop and we send each other stuff all the time.. Just a thought
