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.

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.

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 =)

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.

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