I don't have the lens on my car and I'm getting ready to order some but they are $98.00 cdn a piece at my local Mazda Dealership.
I just want to make sure I'll order the right one.
I'd like to know which years has the "smoked" one.
I don't know if it is available but is there just a Black cover available instead a lens ?












Thanks.

 

Seriously?
Just order some off of this website.

 

Smoked? you mean dilapidated from age just like headlights? I don't think any of them were "smoked" from the factory. Look at a super low mileage car and they're all clear.

 

All FTP lenses were clear from the factory.

 

Ah ok , I didn't know that , I went to the Mazda dealer and the guy came up with 2 different part number for Right and Left ( 2 part number for right , 2 part number for left )


I'll try to get back there this week to find out if he made a mistake or not.
At this price I just want to make sure I'm getting the right one......

 

I've replaced all lens on my car ( parking lens I mean ) for new one to make her looks good.
I know they look terrible when they gets old.
I bought the car late in October 2009 and it will not sleep outside anymore and neither seen rain again ( unless I get caught ) so the new lens will look new for years. The car is always in a heated garage from now on.
It's my toy that I'm restoring.

Updated pics. here .

 

Wow...I'm surprised you can buy the FTP still from the dealer. I bought a decent pair on ebay for about $30, but finding a good pair on ebay can be tough, I just created a search that would email me whenever they would pop up. Found a pair up there right now that seem nice

If you get older ones though, use some type of epoxy to re-enforce the mounts before installing. I used the stuff I think called Steel Epoxy Putty that I got at Lowes that worked great. The mounts tend to weaken over time.

That's a nice car mpcv2000, but I admit mix feelings with seeing a piston engine in an RX-7 . Still, it must be a rocket with the LT1 in there? I've got a vette with the LT-4, they are great engines!

 

I never test drove a Rotary car but I love my FC with the V8 in it.
I bought it already swapped and liked it because it was different then the other cars and it does look stock except the wheels.
Best "toy car" I ever have.

Low end power is nice , you know what I'm talking about.

 

I have those lenses sitting in a box for you martin, but new lenses are stunning

 

Hey what's up Rob ?

Have you seen the updated pics. of your ex-car ?
A few post up , pics. are from a few weeks back.

We have 2 option , I drive down to your place and you take your ex-car for a spin and I grab the lens or I send UPS to pick those up to your place.

I'm so happy with the car you sold me , best swapped car ever.

 

Old lens are better then none.

 

same addy? 692 something quebec?

ill send it out this week, I feel like a piece of **** forgetting about it.

There is also a Bosch 02 sensor in the box.

 

Yeap , same address , same girlfriend same everything...

Thanks Rob , you're the best.

 

what about the ones in the convertibles, they look smoked, though they are blanks

even mine look smoked, but they are just a blank on mine, not a light socket or anythign

 

they all start out clear, then they yellow and degrade over time

there are jspec ones that are a little different, but they are not tinted either

 

these arnt yellow? they are a clean dark grey, still clear, but tinted looking, same as in the 2nd picture

 

There is only one p/n for each side for US cars.

FB01-51-360B and FB01-51-370B

There are earlier versions of those parts (FB01-51-360 and FB01-51-360A and the same for the other side) but they are NLA.

 

hey, i have a set of JSPEC ftp's if you want.
they have the light in them, so they serve as both ftp and dtr !!!

let me know if you want them !!

 

I'll get the one from Rob first but I see you're in Montreal , do you happen to be in the RX Quebec Club ?
If yes can you send a email to a admin to let me in ?
I signed up but without even been able to post anything I got banned.
I guess they had problem with spam or what ever they call it and they block all new members.


Martin.

 

when i bought my car the ftp lenses were spray painted black and looked terrible when light shined through them so i made my own out of plexiglass and painted them with transparent black paint. it was almost free and looks pretty sweet....just a thought instead of spending $60 or so

 

I have them boxed up, going to send them out USPS for you

the jspec ones with the lights in them are good for you requiring the DTR, the lights are very low power but do the job

 

Thanks Rob.

If I go back to New-York this summer I'll try to stop by to say hello and let you ride your ex...

 

cool man, you can take a spin in one of mine as well

 

Done deal

 

damn thats a really clean car...swap looks like it came factory in there lol
