C-West or RE-A sleek kit replicas?
Hey there
I am looking for ppl with first hand experience with C-West/RE-A sleek headlight kit replicas. One set i got for friend is quite poor fitment and he would like to get something else, what fits better.
Lightning is not issue at this point, bodywork fitment is...
thanks for any help/suggestions

My Cwest replicas fit well. I bought them of a forum member, so I can't tell you where they're from. I'm getting ready to sell them pretty soon if you're interested.

^If you want flush go with RE's or the replicas(rotary extreme), you have to trim a little of the frame though so they fit. Much better than stock lighting too.

the rotary extreme kit i bought in 2000 cuz i was too cheap to get the originals
I would do a 180 now
The rotary extreme housings didnt fit and the plexi wasnt curved to match the profile
SO i wound up sanding the plexi edges and shaving the curve of the housing to match the hood, using a heat gun to mold the plexi to the curve of the housings and epoxying the lens to it.
Never buy a replica this complicated again

...i can't see any sense in buying replicas....
If you have no money, spend time to save enough.
There's nothing over quality and fitment of the original parts (either RE or C-West), plus you have the satisfacton of onyl having the best parts installed on the FD. At least this alone is worth the wait.Besides, you have to remind that companies like RE, Feed etc. spend most of the time in development and improvement of these parts - when everyone go and buy the cheap ****, what do you think this will lead to...? ;-)
