new headlight idea
i am sure that some body has already thought about this
but i havent seen any body did it yet
anyways what i am thinking about is make a clear light cover for the East Bear light kit
this way i can buy any body kit and dont have deal with the pop-up. IMO GP sports will look great (in my imagination)
um ... like the new nsx, it used to have pop-up, but honda make it more stylish and change it to non-pop-up in 1999
nsx light looks great that way, and the light stand above the hood quite a bit too
though i think it'll cost alot to make a cover like that ...
but consider the RE kit is around 2000 shipped, East Bear + cover should cost less

you guys talking about clear panels so that the projector lights can shine through without popping up like the stock lights do? These come with body kits or you can buy them seperate.

the idea here is the head light will not take the space of the front bumper, only take the filp up spot where the light suppose to be. i could then have my own choice of GP / Knight sport or whatever front bumper that i wanted
the picture u showed is RE, as i mentioned it cost around 2000 shipped

whats with people and just saying that something is "rice"...? At least explain your reasoning behind it.There is functionality behind removing the popup head lights... You ever drive your car at night? Those lights when up catch a lot of air. Leave em in the down position and you cant see... so, you remove the popups to have best of both worlds.

thank you.
The canards provide downforce
The mouth is pratical for intercooling
The Design gives it a more 21st century look
The front provides air to easily reach the intake.
Also RE has been most of you guys were a fetus.

Must...scrub...parts...
Rice destroy's the lines of the car, good style works with the existing lines. The RE kit is beautiful, it accents and emphasizes the already pretty lines of our cars. A good and extreme example of the opposite, ricy look, would be the dumbasses that put a curvy, supra style spoiler, on a boxy late 80's honda accord. They should be shot twice. Once for owning a honda, and again for putting that wing on it.

nope just do like eastbear and put a cover over it..a sculpted one...its what i plan on doing and if you call losing some drag and if u have ever had to change the motors out of ur pop up lights then ull know how much of a weight redux it is....and some people like the style...so dont give me the rice bullshit....and yes the FC2000 kit is nice.....just like the gp-sports kit...with the xception of everything but the front end......and if you can afford one of those kits and make it look nice u can probably afford and FD also...we need good looking, well fitting and CHEAP.....so thats what im doing.....so soon these lights will be available as well as another bodykit, and im giving people the option of being able to pick and choose as they like some people might like the kit but want to keep their barn doors.....its up to them...interchangeability, not uncle bens

i think im the only person who thinks the FC2000 front is FUGLY, im sorry it just seems tasteless, i just cant see it on our cars, but thats my opinion. I absolutely love the Odula car, with a stock S5 front and the odula lower lip its awesome.
I dont think our cars look quite right without pop ups, their just part of the car. But if there were some kind of nice integrated lights like the R33 skyline look that would be awesome, or even like the S15 j-spec lights, but our cars dont really have the front look for those kinda lights either, pop ups are great, but i would buy some integrated if they looked good enough and had just as good a shine pattern and brightness as H4 pop ups.
