Thanks. Those are from cpracing.ca they were 550 shipped. I think it is a bit overpriced but overall i am very happy with the result. Next step is paint and finish 13b-re swap.

i dont really like them. i still prefer pop-ups to flush mounts, but i think there are better looking flush mount kits out there then yours. sorry to say that.

while i do like how they go right down into the FTPS pockets that said i think they are just too tall and long, it just doesn't look proportionally correct. if they were a lower profile i would probably have a different comment on them and if they were painted to match the car and the hood was also painted to match i think it would look great.

Cutting the bumper out wasn't too hard. Had to be very carefull and meticulous to ensure the lines were straight. having all the right tools make it a cinch.
By the way 95nracer, I am at hurlburt. Judging from you avatar, you must be at Mcguire. I just PCS'ed from there a couple months ago. Your car looks familiar, did you used to have s5 turbo wheels on it?

but the headlight surrounds will still be black unless you take the plexi lenses off and paint the black portions too, it is just too contrasting, all the black on red is too much and focuses on the headlights, if they matched in color it would be a much more smooth transition and the gaps also i feel are too large but the only way to cure that would be to mould them into the fenders and bumper and that wouldn't be an easy job to do correctly in this situation.
painting the air ducts and hood alone would help a bit though.

i wanted thoses headlights but now i think ill stick to the pop- ups. Yours looks good though 
. i just dont like the red-black combination. i bet they would look hotter on a black FC.

Yeah its me, I'm still here at Mcguire. I'm suprised to find you on here. Glad your car is coming together. Do your swap that you've been talking about?

Just as long as you like them, that is all that matters. I like the Mazdaspeed Front lip though.

i think with the entire car being one color, including the light surrounds, it would look much cleaner.

I like them and I may be getting them soon. They look alot better since CP redesigned them so there aren't any rivets showing. How much weight do you think it saved?
