I think the red rx7 in "the fast and the furious" used C-West headlights??, and I think he thinks they are factory '99 healights or something.

And there's a reason that those sites don't tell you the measurement -- because THEY FIT THE CAR THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON. Monkey snocker.

Yeah I don't know the dimensions but you would have an easier time measuring the lights on a third gen, then comparing to your sunfire lights. I think even on sevens some of the bumper re-enforcement has to be cut out. Also I think that the seven's lights are indeed bigger then a sunfires.

Sorry I took a wild stab at it guessing it was the c-west headlight kit. I actually never went to see the movie, just going by what I remember from the pictures..

and those lights cost about $1500.

I cant imagine spending $1500 on a mod for a sunfire





It would NEVER work. The angle of attack on the sunfire is too steep. Buying those lights would make it point straight at the floor, and not to mention the modifications you would need to install it on a sunfire. Why would ANYONE invest $1500+ on a lighting system for a sunfire???


I have a crazy idea but it just might work...

Sell the Sunfire, buy an FD, buy the lights, and install the lights ON the FD!!!!!!!

Smartest thing he could do... Now I highly doubt he'll do it though.

Cool ... but the game is in Raleigh, so I won't be there (unless someone gets me tickets). We have to meet up, though. Did you go to NOPI and did you see my brother there? I have to laugh at you both for going, again. I don't even know what a monkey snocker is, but that Sunfire guy is one.

Oh here's the "new" Amemiya kit, though it's a couple years old. It's basically the same as the old one (probably same lighting), except the right side is missing a lamp and has an air intake hole instead.
