No it's not Turbo'd
I bought the '99 / '96 spec ones, becuse I wanted to be able to go back to OEM, if I wanted to sell. Since fads change, and square lights might be back in style... I figured why not keep my options open.... plus $400 for lights, when Shocks, IC, or Spoilers these days are at least 2x that.... Everything's expensive, set your priorities, and go after what makes you happy...
I agree that they are pretty gawdy, but if someone wants to spend money on it, whom am I to criticize you, your money your car..... but forgive me if it shows up in the list of shame

Damnit, the number one reason I wanted a third gen RX-7 was it was the highest performing car I could afford that didn't have Altezzas for it! When I owned my Honda I hated people coming up and saying stupid crap like
"that's a nice car man, you should put some altezzas and clear corners on it!"
or
"That's a nice prelude, but why are the stock tailights still on there?"
or
"why 16" rims with victoracers when you could have 19s with wanlees?"
Oh well, I'll still buy a FD and I guess I can just hope that this information never makes it to the all show kids.

these lights are quite new still.. im a true yahoo auction ***** and have only seen them pop up within the month.. Now theres quite a few ppl selling them though.
although the US 3rd gens are 10 years old the jdm models didnt stop till the spirit r around 2000-2001, so essentially its still a new design, which may shock some owners who have had their cars for a decade hehee. Take a look in an option magazine and its filled with 3rd gen articles and products. I have a feeling they will be making new things for our cars for a while yet.

.Cheap shot I know, but hey if the shoe fits.....LOL

here's another pic:
also, in a recent issue of option (may have been option 2) -some company was selling the original (square) style lights - but they had coverted the light section with lots of individual LEDs - hideous

yeah, I got that one. I like it because it is essentially the same design as the 98- wing, but slightly bigger - which makes it a bit more aggressive.
I'll let you know how I go with the patch-up job

It saddens me that people are actually "happy" that companies make products for these cars. People with "sport compact" cars need this gaudy crap to get noticed.. Like having useless crap hanging of your car is cool.. Just so you can say you have "mods".. Thank GOD that the people that purchase most of this crap are the same ones with APC or INJEN filters and can't even change their own oil..
I'm nearly embarassed to even own a FD anymore.. The soil has been stained by the WRONG people driving them, and now we all look foolish. Too bad I couldn't afford a FD before they were bastardized. You few should feel lucky!
