It is getting off topic and I apologize. I just wanted to clear up all the miscommunication. From what I know, people in Japan want USDM stuff, from cars to parts.

It's really weird, some cats from Japan want Mustangs and Corvettes, while here in the States some people want Skylines and Silvias.

Now back on topic: Most rare parts would be considered aftermarket parts. As mentioned before, RE-A, FEED, Knightsports, Doluck, Sexy style, Fujita Egineering, Sanai works, etc. etc. Those are mostly brand names, but they offer a wide array of parts.

I have to admit I do quite like that hood, but it's because it's vented in the right place to aid in cooling when running hard on the track, and it's CF, so it should be light. It doesn't look half bad either.

Hardly anybody would even notice them if you put them on, and those that did probably wouldn't care. You're kidding yourself if you think a detail like this is going to "set your car apart".

BTW, since they're non-reflective they'd actually be illegal in the US. Not that anyone's likely to care.

maybe it sets his car apart from the rest TO HIM.... if it makes HIM happy, who cares...

I am not doing all of the work to MY 7 so that I make OTHER people happy.. Are you?!

Also.. I think you might be wrong about them being non-reflective. My front turn signal lenses are reflective. Meaning they reflect light back when they are off and lights hit them. The dome-style sides would be essentially the same if they are turn signal lenses wouldn't they?

the analog logicon is actually better, offering far more steps of fan control.


I suppose I could have spent thousands of dollars changing this and buying trick that, instead I just wax it now and then and put in a TD07. Yay horsepower.

I still wouldn't mind a 300km/h speedo, and the 10krpm tach would be nice too... Shifting by ear works well, but knowing the actual revs would be nice sometimes.

I have them on my car (from the factory) and they aren't reflective. A turn signal that relected light would be a bad idea for obvious reasons.

My front turn signal lenses are reflective. Meaning they reflect light back when they are off and lights hit them.
That light is reflecting off the internal reflector, not the lense. By reflective I don't mean a bit of light bounces off, I mean proper refectors designed to as a safety device, just like the ones in your taillights.

The dome-style sides would be essentially the same if they are turn signal lenses wouldn't they?
They are not the same at all. They serve a completely different purpose, so the lense is different to suit that purpose.

Feed and Fujita Eng. are the same company.

That would make it too easy on people. I've researched my *** off and found it all the hard way, so I wouldn't just spoonfeed the information to lazy people that can't find it on their own. Besides who reads the stickies anyways? Evidently nobody judging by a majority of the questions posted in this section.
