The only good thing about that 'mod' is that it was free and it's easy to reverse

IT DOES NOT COOL THE ENGINE!!! there is a plastic part of the light that covers the entrance for air anyways so no air actually gets in to cool the engine down. I have treid to do this and you cant see ANYTHING at night, and your engine does not actully cool down

Sell the car then. You should've bought another car if you didn't like this one.

Figures you wanted to do a bodykit though.

If it has sentimental value then how can you sell it? If you like having your lights like that, then it's your car. Most people just think it looks better up, including me. I love popups too, how can you not?

I don't particularly like pop up headlights, but the sleepy eye thing is just a fading fad.
Everytime my headlights pop up I think "damn those are good air brakes!" I prefer the car to be original though, plus they sound really cool. If I WAS going to do any body mods, it would probably be integrated headlights and side mirrors.

I'm 20 now, bought my fd when I was 18. I spent 10k for the car, then a year later, had to spend another 9k when the engine went kablewy. I pissed off almost my entire family, except for my dad because I was spending so much money on a car, and I wouldn't have it any other way. These are hands down my favorite car in the world. I'm never getting rid of it for anything!

So, you don't drive at night, you hate popup head lights, and you dicked around making the lights only pop up a little and still left in the stock lamps.

My question is, if you don't drive at night, what is the big deal and why would it matter if they were pop ups or not, if you don't need them?

Anything beyond 99 spec convertions is crap when it comes to body kits, but that's just my opinion.

...and that's exactly what i should have done, until i decided a house is a much better investment; and affordable in comparison to continuing to spend money on the FD. I'd advise any other "kid" with an FD that can't pay for it to do the same thing; because it'll pay off BIG later on. Just my .02
