The slick lights look good, but I too prefer the sleepy eye look.

With a little luck I'll have a custom sleepy eye kit in my car this spring...

i like the flush mount, not for looks but for their function. less weight and aerodynamic. WOOT. i hear they don't have a good light range tho, is this true?

I can't speak for all slick lights, but the CP kit was designed VERY well. No blind spots!

The kit used is normally a kit for a miata with a few minor mods done to it from what I understand.

That is on my list of things to do...

The Miata kit needs more than a few mods, from what I've heard, but can work.

I wasn't going to say anything yet, but if my prototype pans out I MIGHT go into production in the early spring. MIGHT. I don't wanna make any promises I'm not going to keep.

First my moonroof project has to be successful...
