It looks alright , but I can't imagine that thing being functional.

 

I think that the only way it will be functional is that if you take off the plastic piece that is attached to the hood behind the headlight so air can actually go through

 

useless when the headlights go up

 

Looks good fd3s777, beautiful color too

 

Kuwugata's eh? i always liked those wheels

 

Yep, Kuwugata $$$. Love them, but very hard to clean.

 

 

is that the only FD in taiwan???
i cant imagine you driving it through taiwan traffic

 

There's no useful air going in there dude.

 

What front bumper/skirts are those? Those are about the only "tasteful" skirts (in my humble opinion) that I've seen for an FD.

 

Front bumper is RE N1 and side skirt is Mazdaspeed. P.S I have another set of RE N1 Bumper for sale.(in NY)

 

nice rims

 

Paint looks great. I really don't think the vented headlight cover does much though.

 

Car looks great, and the cover adds a nice touch. IMO it would flow even better, for looks anyway, if the driver side had one too.

 

take some pictures of the whole car. Its hard to tell how it looks in sections!

 

Hi fd3s777,

Where do you live in Taiwan? I am orginially from Taipei Taiwan. I have never seen a FD there, maybe we can meet up next time as I travel there 2-3 times a year on a business trip.

More picture about your FD would be nice (inside and out)

 

As you can see from these pictures. This vented headlight cover is functional!

 

Functional or not its a good conmetic touch for a seven. One of the best I have seen for this section even if I prefer the standard headlights cover. Beautiful well kept car. Take careof her.

 

If you have a stock hood there is a piece of plastic behind the headlight which will block the air, you will have to take the piece off to make it functional

 

im going to visit my friend in taiwan in august ^^ xing zhu for 2 days then taipei for 5

 

Hello is there somewhere I can get this vented headlight cover? Mine flew off today looking for a new set

 

Get a new set from Mazda, they aren't very expensive and are still available new. They come primed, just take to a paint shop to have them paint it. I think they are like $80 each or something, very reasonable. Do both even if only one is broken.

RHDJapan.com has some decent vented covers but many don't fit well. Anything on Ebay is junk and will fit horribly, avoid that.

Note, those photos all show the flow path with the hood up, and if you have a factory hood there's a wind deflector underneath and behind the headlight that would block it when shut, you might want to remove or trim it.

Rare application, but just behind the headlights is where the remote canisters for my shocks are mounted, so cooling those wouldn't be a bad idea if you had the same.

 

Somewhere I still have my old Amemiya cover. I liked the look back in the day, but even removing the deflector I’m not sure how functional it was. And I didn’t run an open intake very long.
