first off, it may make the car look more european, but mazdas arent european, theyre japanese

secondly.....ewwwww, hell no those headlights are horrible. the pop-ups suit the car. the only others oprions IMO that look good are lazy eyes and sleek kits

Look closer. The cornering forces are just pushing the tire towards the inside of the car



I'm glad they opted to not make the RX-7 look like a frog.
