it looks like an FD to me.


BTW, I've got cash in hand for whoever can make the sleepy kit, AND have it H.I.D. ready.


I planned on converting my sealed beams to H.I.D. anyway, but this has piqued my interest even more.

I've already been there and done that, with the square
lights in the 1st gen, i like it. it's easy to do too. the only
problem is finding a square surround. that is plastic. I've
also came up with fabbing. the surround out of either fibre 'glass or thin alumimum. the 'glass would be the easier of the two IMO. Also to make a 'fixxed' pod out
of 'glass would not be that difficult. What i've been doing
is make a 'buck' pattern out of cardboard, trim, lay the sea'glass over that, add resin, let set, then soak the whole thing in water. the water makes the cardboard desolve, then all thats left is the fibre'glass piece.

That is the ever coveted FC2001 Re Amemiya front bumper kit. Rotary extreme sells a knock off for $1000 bucks. The real one comes from japan. Easily u can spend $2000+ after shipping.

I like the thought of carbon fiber lids. Thats it that'd be awesome. match it up with a nose panel and a hood and that'd look sweet.
