lol, so do I, but part of the reason is it looks better with all four lights lit in my RE Sleek headlight kit, than just two being lit

Keep in mind the longer you wait as well, your potential market dwindles, as there are always accidents with FD's, but mainly, people shelling out $1500.00 for the vented headlight kit that RE-Amemiya has to offer (myself included), as well as all the other kits available right now (which are in the $1500.00 ballpark w/o HID).

Howdy Pugg, dunno yet, however I went directly with Inukai, who also happens to be the actual RE-Amemiya contact for US sales I got the kit with a vent on each headlight housing, thus effectively removing my highbeams-

Personally I think that they would work very well, as with a 'little' bit of custom ducting, air can be directly to the intake (since its situated further back on a single turbo). That, and it should work even better with a vented hood with vents at the far corners of the hood, sort of pulling the air thru. All speculation on my part of course.......

Replacing the popups increases your chances of being targeted by Laser. Police aim at the front plates, then the headlights. They can't do that with no front plate, and popup headlights.
