Man, that's nice. Slightly off toic here, How's the beam pattern on that sleek light kit? I really like the way that one looks, but some of them produce just god awful lighting.

beam pattern is like a fan on the lows, pencil on the brights....but the brights are nice, and the low beamns are ultra white lighting

i'm doing some HID's in it pretty soon for the low beams, not sure if anyone else has done this before...

I'll remind you tomorrow afternoon. It's a C-west kit, right? I'll be curious to see if you can do them in HID as well.

yes, and i am thinking of tinting the carbonfiber section of the lights because during bright sunlight i do not like how the carbon contrasts so hard with the black car

we'll see...i like to be different (as you may have figured out)

but i think my car is proof that you do not need a fancy bodykit to make the FD3S look good...mazda provided us with a great platform...update the look with some different lighting and some better wheels and you're set
