just like the title reads.

right now im thinking of just doing the front end I seriously considering the R magic flush mount conversion.Ive noticed the bumper is designed differently when doing a flush mount conversion. that being said what im looking for out this thread is answers on the following questions


1 Does the Rmagic flush mount kit work with stock fenders?
2Are you running full kit or specific parts?
3 Has anyone mixed the the two before?
4 How well do the parts fit?

as always thanks for the help everyone

 

If you DD your car and often drive at night, the flush/ recessed headlight bumper covers suck hard. They limit light output significantly, you lose all peripheral light and depending on how far back the lights are mounted you'll lose some forward wash up close as well.

I have the Tamon/FC2000 bumper with HID projectors and I get VERY limited light. The only reason I can see decent at night is because of the bright lower fog lights.

Pop ups FTW!

 

Do have the clear cover(lens) over your lights I've seen photos of FCs with and without them. Thanks for the information didn't know you could play around the lateral movement of the lights. Can you adjust the angle of the lights?

 

The wiggle room depends on what lights you install. In my case, there isn't much room for adjustment.

If I ever have the time to go in and mount them again, I will try to cut the recess shorter and move them as far forward as I can. The recessed areas for the lights angle down as they go in. 90% of my light output is cut off because of it. The point I'm trying to make is that the recessed light style bumpers are terrible for night driving.

I do have the plexi covers.

 

thanks for the feedback i will still take chance on them i can see pretty well at night. ill play around with the bulbs and the position of lights and see about a solid setup.
