Where can i get those headlights? And body kit

Does anybody know where i can get to buy headlights that looks like theese to mye first gen rx7?

I live in Norway where we have to drive with the headlights on, so the car would look much better with those headlights



Is that body kit custom made or can i buy it somewhere?

The body kit is Mariah motorsports. The headlights are midified CP racing buckets. CP racing (thank god) is now out of business. Time to fab your own son...

Welcome to the forum..

Best bet is to post in the 1st gen forsale/wanted section stating that you are looking for those lights. Good luck...

Lol, flushmounts are a huge headache from my experience. I'm still not finished with mine, but my experience was probally just unlucky. I purchased my CP racing flushmounts off a low post user on this site. He said they were brand came with everything new blah blah blah.

Anyways long story short the headlights arrived, scratched up plexi covers, 2 out of the 4 bulbs were broken, 3 of the lights were installed upside down, the assembaly was poorly sealed, and its VERY cheapily made. Either I got screwed over by this guy, or CP racing makes the worst quality products i've ever seen (maybe a bit of both).

So I repainted the headlight buckets, installed 2 new lights to replace the broken ones. Im making new plexi covers, and I installed some H3 110w PIAA bulbs. But you need to realize how much these headlights alone have ended up costing and really need to think about if its REALLY worth it?

Heres a picture of what the lights are looking like after I have starting to REDO them.


Note: Don't order from CPracing, well at least search for there name before even considering ordering anything from them. This way you will see what your getting yourself into (there is tons of information on it, but I don't want the thread to get off topic).

My lights are actually MidTenn Miata flush lights.They are modified to fit the 1st gen,and I used Hella 90MM light pods to make the beam DOT legal.MTM is no longer making custom Miata parts,they went back to just being a car dealer.


My body kit is based on the Mariah Mode 1 which can be purchased here....
www.mariahmotorsports.com

Much of my kit is one-off, or modified.The front and rear fenders are off the shelf Mariah.......but the hood,sideskirts,and rear skirt are custom.The wing is from Mariah too,but I dont think they are making it anymore.
