Any pictures of the actual light pattern? Sleek lights always look like garbage on the FC. The FD can pull it off because it has the body lines for it. The FC just doesn't and every attempt just looks plain wrong.

I like the housings. I think with different headlights in there it would look very nice.

i cant view the pics from work, so i dont know what they look like yet. I'm sorry to hear the way everyone feels about it.

Maybe you can refine your product a bit more, and more people will be happier with the end product.

I personally like popups.. But the sleek kit is a nice upgrade for some people who don't like the pop ups.. I have seen some great kits for miatas... I may seriously make a prototype that looks good so someone can copy it..




That is a good looking kit.

Yeah... I gotta agree with a lot of others here. The housings are OK but not great and the lights themselves look really pathetic in there. Not only do they look crappy because they're fog lights but, it looks like they are just sitting in a big open hole... no thanks.

These might be salvageable if you throw away the lights and mold something with a single lens into that housing.

That's a big might though

On second thought, I'd say just go with one of the nifty S2000 conversions.

I don't like the housing (mainly because it's useless unless you use fogs) and the lights aren't going to be DOT approved (most likely). Not only were they LATE, they just didn't make a good design. Is this the best that's out there as of now?

if your local laws aint strict and you probably drive in well light areas, or show, im sure its ok.




unfortinutly, FC doesnt have enough downslope angle in my opinion to make any sleek headlight that stays within the pop up area works.. unless its mounted lower so more visable area can be aimed correctly.

What the hell guys? So it isnt your taste? Fine. Im sure a lot of time and work was put into it regardless. Its not exactly my taste either, but Ive had projects that turned up less result with lots of effort. If you dont like it, dont buy it.

I started drawing today.. i am not the best artist, and this is just a rough draft/first proof.... But if I were to buy a flush mount kit it would have to look something like this..

you can't have lights set that far back on these cars ^
you would need to get closer to the front or else you will have no light hitting the road.
the flash to pass lens space is the best suited in my opinion. or go bug eye on in the head light section.

EWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwWWW The red fc looks like it hates life.... Doesn't work for me. But the black fc looks pretty decent if I felt like cutting.. But why would I want 3 pairs of fog lights is the question....

I have a Series 5 and my turn signals are not like that... :'(
