Lovin my 7

I was at the track the other day and there were two stock TII's but one had sleepy eyes. The one with sleepy eyes was at least twice as fast... You guys don't hate!! It adds at least 15 HP... Add a sticker, some neons and man that thing will fly. It's a really good thing you don't have to speak or type proper english to drive because that guy would be screwed.. And with his temper I am sure glad he is out in Cali driving and not here in FL..

But the way my car looks probably degrades from that clean mod.

Here is one of the pics: You get to see the beast once the body work is done.
The vert is my friend's, the GTUs is the DD and you're not worthy to feast your eyes on the beast (actually I'm finishing the body work, which WILL look better than the bullet holes/bondo job YOU did)
let's see you dance, sucka, you got nothing on me!!
in case you want a mod list too:
RB header and midpipe on 52mm catback.
Pineapple racing sleeves
MSD ignition pack
SAFC
Apex-i intake
KYB AGXs all around
Eibach Pro springs
Suspension techniques swaps
RB adjustable links
16x8 SSR lightweight rims
TII lip ( the MS lip is being prepped for paint to be done at the same time as my TII),
TII sideskirts
^^^it's modest but then again you don't really need any more for a daily driver^^^
so, what now? You can't talk **** because the NA LOOKS better than your TII and MY TII is FASTER. Bring it.
The difference is that I don't post my car around the net as if it's the HOTTEST **** because it looks like any other FC that has been well taken care of. You are proud of your HEADLIGHT "MOD" and think it's the hottest **** since drifting hit the streetz!
YEAH SINCE I THINK THAT THE SLEEPY MOD IS HOT **** HAHA LOL TARD YOUR CAR LOOKS JUST LIKE MINE i GOT THAT BRA ALSO...THE ONLY THING YOU GOT THAT I WANT IS THE LIP AND THATS IT THOSE ******* RIMS A GOD AWFULLY UGLY, HORRIBLE RIM CHOICE NOW THATS A ******* RICER RIM...DNT GET ME WRONG YOUR CAR IS CLEAN BUT THOSE RIMS GOTTA GO!!!!
ITS SO FUNNY YOU THINK YOU CAR LOOKS CLEANER THAN MY T2 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YEAH RIGHT LIKE I SAID IT WAS DIRTY AND MY CAR IS 10X FASTER THAN YOURS AND I DONT GO AROUND PROUDING MY MOD THE SUBJECT OF THE THREAD IS SLEEPY EYES IS IT NOT THE KID ASKED HOW TO DO THEM NO HE DIDNT ASK FOR PICS BUT IT HAS BEEN SAID. LIKE I SAID CLEAN CAR BUT HONESTLY YOUR RICER THAN I EVER WILL BE FOR CHOOSING TO BUY THOSE RIMS AND PUT THEM OF YOUR CAR EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU ??

sigh. You guys are funny.
you KNOW there is a difference between sleepy eyes (where the stock headlight unit is not touched)
and the lower profile headlights needed to make the HEADLIGHT CHANGE like the one that chick makes in the link above.
2 totally different things.

Hey man, don't be hatin' on 18's! They aren't too bad. I have a set. I didn't buy them though. I'd prefer 17's. But they do look nice, and they are lightweight. I think the wheel size is dependent on the car. It's a package deal.
Back on topic, yes, the kit that's being offered is a good way to go. The other...not so much.

sleepy eyes arnt rice. Its personal taste. It like getting clear corners, yellow fog, ect. its all up to the owner. Sleepy eyes properly done adds a nice touch to the car. the lights might be broken to the average joe blow, but to that same joe, putting 18inch rims on any car makes it 100x better and give it more "style". when in reality it makes your engine work harder to turn those huge *** wheels and burn more gas. But Sleepy eyes is a thing thats big in the drift world. Its an aquired taste. I personally think that DriftingB26RX7's car is nice. It sleepy eyes arnt rice, he isnt trying to make his car look faster, just give it a diffrent look from every other rx7 out there. Simple as that. and I am personaly am going to be doing a sleepy eye mod. Why? because Im a drift fan and think it adds some drift taste to the car. as long as his car doesnt have a huge *** wing and super bright colored paint, it isnt rice. Just thought id point it out to you all. Now stop flaming and tell the man any info you know about doing this. And if you dont got anything good to say then please dont post.

Now onto the sleepy eye conversion and drifting in general. Drifting is all about STYLE, not about speed, and THAT is why the sleepy eye conversion has taken over the sport. It's to make the cars look "better" (beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and IMHO the beholder is a blind ************). Because of the fact that, as you stated, it is for DRIFT cars to give them more STYLE, that makes it a ricer modification for ANY street car. It serves no other purpose than to make your car look different.
Now, IF you were to change to the height for your lamps to the sleepy eye height and then add some small PIAA HID's to replace the H4 housings you have in there now, it would serve a purpose, making it easier to see, and therefore safer to drive it on the street at night. With the HID conversion, the modification serves a purpose and is no longer a rice mod.
Fact is, that right now without the mod your car is not a rice rocket, because it has drivetrain and suspension mods. You as a person, however, are a ricer because you want to make your car look "cool" by giving it the sleepy eye conversion. You're just as bad as the rednecks that buy the Dale Ernhardt, Dale Jr., and Jeff Gordon editions of the Monte Carlo, because the only reason they own those is because in their eyes, those are "sweet" rides because the emulate their hillbilly idols. Those are riced out from the factory, because they are made to look like a racecar with their paint job and signatures, with no driveline or suspension mods.
