To my understanding they do make r-magic replica headlights, his however look to be authentic, hard to tell from just one picture though.

I liked the car better when it was still in Japan. If someone has to take credit for the tasty parts and the engine work on it, it has to be the Japanese owner and Knight Sports. The engine was modified by them. Not much has changed since then. This car was offered to me by the exporter in Japan, when I was looking for my RX-7. I bought and sold mine since then.
Good to see i'm not the only one with that opinion...

To the car: The preowner in germany got the RE-Amemiya mirrors installed and a few other things... the actual owner is complainings since months about the expensive side skirts he want to get (AutoEXE) but has enough time and money to deface the cars interieur and got s replica diffusor (if thats an original it would be a "bit pricier" than the skirts...)

If im not wrong the way you can tell they are replicas is if the base and the top cover are one piece and also there is a slight difference with the bulbs

And just to clear it up, im not hating or anything on your headlights i think they look sick, i drool over them every time i see a set lol. I would love to have one but they are too expensive for me at the moment, but i read there are some replicas out there and i wouldnt mind to find out where lol

Because not too long ago in one thread here someone had posted some replicas and they were comparing the difference with this chick's FD that has original R-Magic



I just dont remember if it was in this thread or battle cat's FD Japanese pic thread or one alike
