Hey guys,
I have been kind of flip flopping with the idea to go with the CP racing flush mount headlights. I have heard the typical negative things about the quality of the product, but im just curious as to if you guys think this would look good on my car.

I am going to go turbo with this car so the extra engine bay room (no head light motors) wouldn't hurt for when I goto do intercooler piping. Also my car looks like nothing else around, my goal is a car that pushes the limits of street legal, but is still legal. I WANT TO BE AS FAR AWAY FROM RICE AS POSSIBLE. Which is hard because everyone has a different definition of rice. But my goal is 400 RWHP, im putting on 315/35/17's on the back and 275/40/17's in the front and hopefully will be buying 17x12 and 17x10 CCW's to match. I don't want the car to be too much "bling bling" or overkill which I am afraid the flush mounts and huge wheels may do?



Headlights are one of the final pieces of my exterior I need to work out, im open to suggestions and comments!

Thanks!

well i was going to use the flush mounts on a widebody car... so... i say yes they would look goos

 

some pics of the car the lights were going on...

 

Is that a pet squirrel!?

 

Lucky your feeding it, could go for your nuts! lol

 

yah thats my pet squirrel, sonic rat! lol!! my second gen guru

what upsets me most is he dosn't eat cheese
unlike a sonic rat

 

Damn, I didn't think squirrels took to domesticating very well, how did you manage that? A pet squirrel would be awesome, I'd walk him around on a leash or something!

2nd gen guru, 1st gen n00b... so sad!

 

Oh **** Sonic rat called himself a n00b, Wait until I tell hondalover about this!!!!

 

i personally dont like the flush mount headlight mod

if i had the money, i'd go with the sleepy headlight mod with
the 2 smaller round headlights....like the ones they make for miata's

but that's just my opinion. i think they were meant to "pop up"

 

**** , if i can get 730 rwhp out of a 12a , domesticating a squirrel is a piece of cake more meaningless to this thread pics....fun tho...
snuk in a pic of my gtx for giggles

 

Is that a green Amazon too? You must've got that squirrel awful young, ya clip his nails at all? I've had a run in with a not-so-friendly squirrel once...

 

well from what i have seen i really like the flush lights
and yeah rice is just a matter of opinoin i think lol

wow i so want to get me a pet spurial did u raise it as a babby
its gonna be spring soon so maybe ****** one hehe

 

I've always called myself a 1st gen n00b, haha, can't know much about a car I've never owned/worked on, though that's rapidly changing with you two finding things for me to figure out how to fix!

 

Whatever its your car! We aint goning to fix it for ya, Even thought I have donated alot of my car to your car, Which I might be stealing back if I decide to go Sterling.

 

Haha, I think hondalovers gone and fixed most of it already, he's obsessed with working on that thing.

 

yah, thats the shop parrot .. dosnt talk yet, but we are working on it...
and yes i raised my squirrel since he was a baby, he is very friendly and no i dont trim his massive claws... he is gentle tho... ok some more meaningless pics...

 

Hah nice, I'm going to have to try to score me a baby squirrel. Green Amazon's are one of my favorites, they usually have a nice mild temperment, a whole lot better than african grey/etc.


Is that a 94-96 Impala I see in the background?

 

It is, The question now is it an SS

 

Back on the subject. I think flash mounts look ok, as long as inside the the lights match the rest of the car, otherwise it would be like the CF hood on a white car, it looks tacky!

 

It's definatly a 94-96 chevy, either a caprice or an impala, it has impala rims, but I can't see the emblem behind the passanger window, so it's hard to say otherwise. (if that's what you were referring to).

Oh yeah, flushmounts would look OK on a black car, they look strange and stand out on other colors (like red/etc).

 

Yes, go with the flush mounted. Good looking engine bay.

Why go for such wide tires? Cars I know with a streetable 400rwhp, seem to perform best on much smaller, for example 17" 235/45 at the rear. Much wider tends to reduce handling and put great stress on the transmission. The fashion is to use a custom driveshaft, light truck diff, and 4 puck clutch.

 

yah, the impala is a SS .. its my neighbors ride

 

i too was asking myself this question...i already went with the lazy eye look on my widebody rx7....i like the look but im still considering changing to the flush mount b/c i think they will look better once the car is painted black instead of the stock red....so i say go for it and put up some pics

as for the tires comment....on my widebody i run a set of 275/50/15's on the rear with eplison rims....and the front are 245/50/15...i didnt change the rims b/c i dont know my offset...how can i figure that out so that i could possible go with a larger set of rims...

 

Holy **** I want a squirl how do I get one!

 

the way i see it anything that adds performance i.e. fat *** tyres isnt rice in the slightest. and you need the widebody kit to run these tyres then so be it, coz it looks damn good anyway.
