Negative. i dont have a car to front:uhh:

I think stock size, stationary lights with Lexan covers would look better. The F430 lights are too small. I don't know why, but they make me think of lizards. :confused:

Jeff20B 09-20-07 01:05 PM

Don't like it.

82transam 09-20-07 01:46 PM

dj55b 09-20-07 02:12 PM

dbragg 09-20-07 02:19 PM

go with the original way, tose look "off"

kgray 09-20-07 02:20 PM

please no.

If you are going to market this kit than ferrari light might not be cost effective for us poor folks :)

HIM_Tattoos 09-20-07 02:34 PM

Not liking it. Looks like eclipse lights, just MO.

glewsRx 09-20-07 04:13 PM

I can let you have the headlights off my Ferrari F430 donor car.

Texas_sumo 09-20-07 04:37 PM

meh... It's not speaking to me.

kapn krunch 09-20-07 04:55 PM

Joker1337 09-20-07 05:04 PM

tow your car, G :bigthumb:

couple people done that in the past

BlackWorksInc 09-21-07 12:48 AM

Yeah, it doesn't look right... I mean its an RX-7 and it comes off looking more like a weird Supra or something with the F430's. Stick with either the pops-ups or ussual drop in beams, it'll look way better.

BLOWNandTWISTED 09-21-07 01:28 AM

well i did some actual measuring and got the right dimensions. imo its gonna look good, ill make it look good, damn it!! even though alot of you guys are not in favor of it.

You're killing the principal of you ride, man! Remember your sig!
Keep it like a (sexier, and more testosterone filled) F/B/D.

FBsliderseven 09-21-07 02:00 AM

how about making covers or eyelids in the 430 style for the fd lights? it would be better then redoing the body again.
something like the R-Magic headlights =)

d0 Luck 09-21-07 02:03 AM

i say do it. it actually looks good.

i ain't no fcking purist. :)

BlackWorksInc 09-21-07 02:13 AM

Actually, now that I see it.. I agree with 7.. try using the stock light dimensions to mock up some custom RX-7/F430 hybrid lights... I think that would look better than making the lights skinnier.

rotaryboy23 09-21-07 12:01 PM

I think it looks GREAT! purity is over rated. You've got an amazing car there, and those lights will look great.
